Supergirl #11 review

Be careful what you wish for, that’s what the old adage says. It certainly applies to this issue of Supergirl, which brings me what I’ve been asking for – a one-on-one with Supergirl and a bad guy, with none of our heroine’s super/scientific pals lending a hand. Because, as enjoyable as Lena Luthor, Luna Lustrum […]

Supergirl #9 review

It’s New Year’s Eve in Midvale and Linda (Supergirl) Danvers and her gal pals have been invited to rich girl Clarissa’s party. It’s a no-booze affair, as Clarissa is trying to give up alcohol, and Linda is fine with that. Lena Luthor? Not so much. Super-scientist Lena decides to give Kandorian chum Lesla-Lar a taste […]

Supergirl #8 review

How’s that for a captivating cover? Hallowe’en is past but Christmas is also a time for spooky stories, and Supergirl is certainly confronted by a ghost from the past here. This is not your average ghost, being cyber rather than spectral, but Supergirl is a very strange and special girl so why wouldn’t she be […]

Supergirl #7 review

It’s Thanksgiving Day in Midvale and Supergirl’s adoptive parents, Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers, are preparing a feast for family and friends, furry and otherwise. As her friend Lesla-Lar tries to get her head around US Thanksgiving traditions, Supergirl is dealing with weightier… sorry wetter, matters. Diving into the sea to try out her new gills […]

Supergirl #6 review

Supergirl isn’t in Midvale anymore. And she’s not alone. The cloaked figure and demons fade, and Kara finds herself in a more familiar setting. A familiar setting, but still unsettling, as figures from her brief time as a blood-vomiting Red Lantern appears. And then she finds herself awake and on patrol in Midvale, thanks to […]

Supergirl #5 review

Supergirl takes Lesla Lar to Metropolis for a spot of superheroine training, leaving Lena Luthor to mind the Midvale store. She’s also looking after Super-Pets Krypto, Streaky, Kandy and Tinytano… all of whom abscond the second the girl genius’s back is turned. Bad bunny Kandy begins trying to annoy Krypto, because they first met as […]

Supergirl #3 review

Crazy Kandor kid Lesla-Lar wants Supergirl’s life. She’s hypnotised Kara’s Earth parents and convinced the town of Midvale she’s the real deal. Kara’s regular costume having been vandalised by Lesla, she’s resorted to an older look and is doing good regardless. A little super-vision spying has Supergirl guessing where Lesla’s head is at, and she […]

Supergirl #2 review

Supergirl, this is your life… and Lesla-Lar has stolen it. A young woman from Kandor who’s been saved by Supergirl, Lesla is a mixed-up kid, her low-self esteem turning her into one twisted sister. Via a combination of Earth’s gravity and yellow sun, and the super-skin she invented, Lesla has become a ‘better’ version of […]

Supergirl #1 review

It’s just another day for Supergirl. In Metropolis, the Maid of Might has a whale of a time seeing off an over-ambitious bad girl. And in the bottle city of Kandor, a rescued young woman gets all starry eyed. The furry pink fella being carried in Kara’s expandable cape is Lar-On, like Kara an Argo […]

Action Comics #1081 review

The Phantom King, Xa-Du, has returned from exile in time to rally the Phantom Zone escapees who have been causing havoc across the galaxy. The Super Family are primed to hunt them down, even Mon-El, despite the temporary solution around his fatal vulnerability to lead being less effective with every minute that passes. The Daxamite […]
