Supergirl (2016) Annual #1

Aug 30, 2017

It was a decent story, albeit not very original. The art was great though, and the issue leaves us on a rather interesting cliff-hanger, and a possible moral dilemma for Kara.

The Silencer #1

Feb 3, 2018

Despite the lackluster artwork, the story was solid and worth a read. I'm not sure where the writers will take this character in upcoming issues,butisn't thatthe best part abouthaving brand new original characters?

Supergirl (2016) #7

Mar 8, 2017

This issue seems to be a stand alone, and not really part of a bigger storyline. As such, it's not necessarily a "must read" from that stand point, but it certainly builds on Kara's character. There is a nicecameo on the last page which potentially sets up the next story arc. If you're not sure to whom I'm referring, check out Emerald Empress's disappearance in Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #4.

Supergirl (2016) #8

Apr 12, 2017

Not the best issue to date, which is too bad because with Superman being in this story, it definitely could have been fantasticif the execution was better. The bright side is that the person that was watching Kara in this issue could make for a very interesting story in the next issue.

Supergirl (2016) #10

Jun 14, 2017

Very fun issue to read, and the introduction to a pretty interesting villain in Xa-Du. Batgirl and Supergirl are great together in this issue, and Ican't wait to see how the Maiden of Might gets out of this one!

Supergirl (2016) #12

Aug 10, 2017

Despite a few negative points in this issue, it was one of the best Supergirl books since the start of Rebirth. It could possibly be because of the incredible artwork, or the down to earth writing of Orlando, but all in all, a really good issue, and a lot of fun to read. For the first time in a long time, I'm looking forward to the next issue.

Supergirl (2016) #13

Sep 15, 2017

The best Supergirl issue since the launch of Rebirth. We finally get a Supergirl that's mature and stands for what Supergirl should stand for. Superman can stand for Truth, Justice and the American Way, but what makes Kara Zor-El unique is that she loves everyone, and like she said in this issue, "Compassion means not picking and choosing who you care about, even if you fear them." If you're going to only pick up one Supergirl Rebith issue, makes sure it's this one.

Oct 14, 2017

A great read for sure, with some pretty fun throwbacks as well. As a personal note, as great as the original cover is, if you can get your hands on the variant, do it. Stanley "Artgerm" Lau absolutely killed it! The variant is simply incredible.

Supergirl (2016) #15

Nov 9, 2017

A great and fun Supergirl issue for sure. Plenty of heart, beautiful artwork, and it really tests the patience and heroism of our young protagonist. Orlando and Houser should be congratulated on stepping outside the norm, and giving us something different, yet familiar. A very interesting cliffhanger sets up the next issue very nicely.

Teen Titans (2016) #6

Mar 22, 2017

The banter and chemistry between the Teen Titans was great,but Aqualad's side story did bring the book down for me. I'm not sure why Percy felt it necessary to bring up Aqualad's sexual orientation either. Perhaps it was to demonstrate how hewas feeling different then everyone else, or for shock value. Either way, the story in general fell flat, and made me uninterested in Aqualad, which is really to bad as his character was great in Young Justice. Here's hoping that Percy can make me care about Aqualad again.

This second book in this story arc was an improvement on the first for sure. If you don't mind Robin's annoyances, then you will definitely love this issue.The last page sets up what should be an interesting next issue, and the beginnings of the massive 3 book crossover, "The Lazarus Contract."

Mar 8, 2017

Williams, combined with incredible art from Romita, Jr. and Barrows, gives us a fantastic issue where good and evil are constantly being tested. There are so many questions left unanswered after this issue, and that's to the testament of the incredible writingby Williams to hook us in, and to make us care aboutthese larger then life villains or heroes, depending on your definition.

If you've read the entire story arc so far, chances are you're going to read this issue. If you haven't, then you should read this story arc. Williams tells an amazing story, and it's made that much better with some great artwork. So many questions left unanswered, that it leaves you biting your nails for the next one.

Fantastic issue from start to finish. Good character development for both Lanterns, and Emerson, and really happy to see Cruz stepping up and being a leader when they were trapped under water, as well as lead the charge work with Cyborg. But hey, that's J-Bird for you! Besides the main story, we also get a glimpse into what the next story arc may be, and here's hoping we get more Guy Gardner.

Apr 19, 2017

This was a great ending to an emotional story arc. Whether you like or disliked Doctor Polaris's origin story, you can't dispute with his reasoning. He's simply trying to save his brother. That being said, however, it's interesting to note that Doctor Polaris might not even existif Emerson just took his medication. Looking ahead, the next story arc promises to be very interesting, and I, for one, can't wait!

Go read it! It's such a great and fun story you'd regret it if you didn't. The last thing I want to add is a big thank you to Amanda Connor and Jimmy Palmiotti for the 34 issues they've given us. Not only that, but for taking a character that has been treated unfairly many times in the media as nothing more then a floozy, psychopath, or a glorified punching bag for the Joker, and gave her a purpose, character, and a soul. I for one have always been a fan ofConnor and Palmiotti's, and can't wait to see what they're next endeavor will be.
