Tony Bedard wraps his underrated "Red Daughter of Krypton" arc with Supergirl #33, which does a masterful job of setting up action and tension, even if it doesn't quite solve the problem that's been bugging Kara Zor-El since her reintroduction: a lack of clear direction in terms of her characterization.

I admit that I was not enjoying Super Girl constantly complaining and her focus on how the universe is out to get her. I realize that this was Bedard's master plan. He broke down the character in order to rebuild and more away from that association. This issue will finally bring Super Girl to a reemergence of hope and clarity that will keep the readers at her side. If you're a fan of the character then I guarantee you”ll enjoy this issue as much as I did. Read Full Review

Supergirl #33 is a quick read, but very satisfying ending for fans of Red Lanterns, who have enjoyed Supergirl being part of the Red Lanterns. I'm not sure how her absence will effect the Red Lanterns (especially Guy Gardner) now that she's no longer part of the team. Although I'm interested to see what will Supergirl do now that she's back to being herself in a world is going through the effects of Superman Doomed. Read Full Review

Jeff Johnson and Emanuela Lupacchino handled art duties, and the two worked together quite seamlessly to produce straightforward storytelling, easy to follow layouts, and spot-on depictions of Supergirl. Read Full Review

Despite the flawed narrative, which includes both jumps in logic and a deus ex machina, Supergirl #33 is a good issue. Bedard's script wraps everything up in a satisfying manner and the art again is a strong focal point. Kara's dealings with the Red Lantern Corps it could have used a few more issues. The only part that feels out of place in the introduction of Gen 13, but it is only an epilogue and does not take away from the main story. Overall, it is an entertaining read and an interesting addition to Supergirl's history. Read Full Review

SUPERGIRL #33 is, like her tenure as a Red Lantern, a pit stop on the side of the road. I don't feel like it is entirely instrumental to her character, as a story. I recognize these stories often build slowly, but they should tell us something new about our protagonist or her side characters. I know Guy Gardner and the Red Lanterns care for Kara, and I know what kind of person she is.Now, these stories can start being about that. Read Full Review

While I'd like to say that the ending to the Red Daughter of Krypton story was well done and places our Girl of Steel into a new direction or any direction for that matter, I can't.  Hell I'd like to say that the ending was a little too convenient to get Supergirl out of the Red Lantern Corps, but I can't say that either.  The ending is ridiculous and doesn't make sense to me at all.  It was just another issue of Supergirl punching things and it appears that this story line did nothing for the character but give her a wardrobe change for awhile.  All you need to know is that all the bitching that people say about Kryptonians is true and they just might as well be immortal gods.
