Supergirl has met her match in Facet, who sends her back to the D.E.O. with questions: what did Alura have to do with Facet's past-and what is her continuing mission on Earth?
Again, it is the small details that make this series such a wonderfully entertaining book. Gates continues to pepper Kryptonian culture into the story that has had me scouring my Krypton Chronicles miniseries. A fanff is a Kryptonian week. Molium is a title of respect and honor on Krypton. Amzet is a Kryptonian year. Snagriffs are flying beasts on Krypton. Small touches like that honor the history of Superman and Supergirl. I can't say enough abut this book. It is a perfect mix of action, characterization, and super-history built on the foundation of the show. Read Full Review
Adventures of Supergirl sets a lot of details of the past into place here that I hope either works off of the series bible from the show or that the show will adapt into it at some point. There's definitely a richness to work with and it's a solid expansion of the overall mythos that explains the variety of aliens at play in Fort Rozz that Kara has to deal with. While the progress of the book detours a bit here for all the exposition and flashback material, it at least provides more foundations for the series as a whole. Gates continues to work Kara well here and seems to be getting a better handle on Alex as well, though I really just want an issue with the two women out and about having fun with no real problems to face. The addition of Cat Staggs to the book feels like a bit of an ill fit for me, but I know I'll be in the minority in that department. Mostly it comes from the whole likenesses aspect and that there isn't a strong narrative for Kara here to work with. Read Full Review
This chapter is all set-up for future events, and as such it turns out to be twenty digital pages of Kara and Alex talking to a hologram. And it's not even a hologram of 2Pac! The artwork is really nice, but there's not much action to speak of and the reveals are less staggering and more intriguing. This has been a good digital series, and I am sure stuff gleaned from this chapter will have ramifications in the near future, but if you jumped on here for some reason then you might wonderwhat the hype is all about.
