About a billion years ago, in an effort to prove to myself and by extension my Superman-loving friend, Anne, that there was in fact a decent Superman event out there, I read as much of the New Krypton saga as my library had misbegottenly had in stock. The verdict: It was okay. It had a few great moments, but more often than not, it was just borderline entertaining. Now a billion years later, I come across another piece to this event in a bargain bin, so recalibrating my addled brain to New Krypt...
Review originally posted at http://wp.me/p4Wvzn-sg Death and the Family fills in some of the side-story of the huge epic that is the New Krypton story arc. Centering around Superman's cousin, Kara Zor-El the book ties up some of the loose ends in the Supergirl storyline before heading into the "Last Stand of New Krypton" arc.Beginning with an an encounter with the Silver Banshee, Death and the Family then takes a turn at exploring Kara's more vulnerable side as she discovers that Lucy Lane is su...
Not sure why I didn't like this.
The best Supergirl story that I have ever read! Though the mistreated of the Lucy Lane character did sting a bit.
It was the last great pre-TheNew52 Superman storyline. It was supposed to entertain and enlighten and energize the Superman books for years to come. It was one of the most massive, interconnected tales of Kal-El ever told.And I thoroughly enjoyed it.And I think I was one of the few who did.And that is a complete shame.Superman New Krypton is a storyline that takes place over almost two years worth of Superman, Action Comics, Supergirl, Superboy, World of New Krypton, Adventure Comics and various...
This run has been consistently good. I like Gates take on the character, though I prefer the New 52 era.For more on Supergirl check out this episode of Comic Book Coffee Break: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj5wm...
V. enjoyable comic, giant bugs, what it means to be human, Batman reference, Superman, Lana and Lois, c-list heroes Guardian and Crimebuster. Nice art, but wish she wasn't dressed like a sixteen year old girl drawn by an adult male. Worth the read if you see it in the library or want a easy gift.
Nice solid entry by Sterling Gates. The online reviews are what prompted me to try the last two volumes in this series, and Gates does a very good job with the supporting characters. Actually the work with the supporting characters, including Lana's "illness", outshines his work on the series lead. Overall enjoyable, and a continuing attempt to make this character a relevant player for the company.
Standard Supergirl fare. Nothing bad, but nothing particularly memorable.
I just can't get into this book. I like Supergirl but this stuff just makes me feel lost and unattached.
I've been looking forward to this read for reasons. Many reasons. And I just may cry a little bit for those reasons.But I also love Jamal Igle. He's wonderful at what he does and he's a nice guy.
There is a lot going on in this one. You have the origin of Superwoman, the silver banshee and Lana Lane's mysterious illness. For any fan of Supergirl this is a must read. The story is good and the artwork outstanding.
Nice artwork and enjoyable storyline but makes me realise just how behind I am in my Supergirl reading as quite a bit about the character was different from what I remember.
