Im proud to be the only Comic G-Man to be posting and rating on Supergirl. It looks like users gave up around ish #10 sadly!

This ish was amazing! The action was really wacky and the interactions beautifully dynamic!

This ish especially hits the spot because finally after much teasing Comet is now the focus. Being chased by a really cool character named "Fracture", a Native American superhero, I dont say villain for a reason. Comet apparently went by the name of " Zed One" and owes money to whoever Fracture is working for.

Meanwhile Sylvia is still in the hospital, Martha visits to try to help Sylvia cope with her daughter being mixed with Mae. Martha's sweet way seemed unable to shake Sylvia out of her depression. The husband feeling a repeat of her past alcoholic behaviors feels discouraged enough thinking of filing a divorce. Seems a bit harsh but he did stick with Sylvia through her fighting alcoholism before she had Linda, but if she throws it all away its hard to blame him feeling that way. But hopefully he gives her a chance to work it out.

Linda is in the library to read the Earth Angels book Wally told her to read. We learn that Earth Angels are created when someone sacrifices themselves to save someone who is beyond saving, hence angelic Mae saving the Satanic Linda in the beginning. While at the library Andy (Cutter's X-Wife comedian) has been stalking Linda to ask her to eat lunch. Having her eye on Linda for a few issues but getting foiled in her pursuit she finally gets her opportunity to tell Linda she digs her clams, and wants to vacuum her rug for her.

Linda suprised by the notion rejects Andy saying shes not gay and doesn't enjoy shoveling pearls for kicks.

Andy tries to convince her to embrace her hidden cave-diving skills but gets interrupted by Fracture who takes Linda as a hostage to get Comet's attention. Linda uses her psi power to slip up Fracture to let go while mid-air, Comet saves her before she could change to Supergirl. Eventually she switches as Supergirl to fight Fracture but he overcomes her everytime.

He has a good soul so her angelic powers have no effect on Fracture or Comet, so Fracture is really after Comet for some money dispute. When Supergirl hears this and Fracture leaves with a 24 hoir warning, she tells Comet she can help him if its just about money. Only if Comet tells her who he is and what is going on. Last panel he stands over her, being a good foot 2 feet taller than her, makes out with her.

Holy hell this is some LSD trip!!!!!!!! more

The only downside to this ish is the art in some places is pretty bad! Besides that the whole ish is a testorone induced comedy! I mean even President Reagan and Gorbachev make a special funny appearance on one page! So even as a historical note it adds to the unique wackiness of this story.

Dr. Stratos believes himself to be a god from Olympia and forces people to serve him like a god in his castle. He controls the weather with a space satellite, making him ahead of his time, a geo-engineer of the 80s.

We see him murder a servant with lightning for attempting a coup, after banging one of his sex slaves she tries to murder him in his sleep but he freezes her to death.

Growing his ego he uses his weather weapon to threaten Reagon and Gorbachev, Reagon and Gorbachev agree with each other that only Superman can figure this one out. The President bit was funny how they drew them both, and how they thought it was his star wars program.

Comics today seem afraid to do goofy caricatures of leaders these days. I dont see any good parodies of Trump Biden Obama, there are plenty of things of Bush deservedly so. But frankly it seems like comics today are only capable of going as far as "metaphor" "symbolism", rather than a literal funny caricature like this.

So Supes is tested at all angles by Strato's weather weapons and survives each one barely. You really feel bad for Supes here getting hit with lightning milllions of times, getting piled with tons of ton of snow practically the saize of a mountain over him.

When he finally figures out Strato's game, he follows the particke beam from the space weapon which brings him to Stratos in his castle. Not fast enough to move Stratos away, the beam hits the both of them. Stratos goes on fire and falls off his ledge to disintegrate.

Obviously he really was the God stratos and the last oage shows him resurrected from the ashes.

Epic... more

Too bad I didn't start my Superman run in the correct order. I already know this story's end and build up because I was reading online first before I decided to read the Man of Steel Volumes I have. But it was still nice to fill in some gaps of what I skipped

This was the first time I read a comic with the Metal Men guest starring and it wasn't as goofy as I thought it would be. We learn here that Chemo came from an alternate world that he destroyed and was defeated by the last surviving member of the Doom Patrol. After Infinite Crisis merged everything to one, Chemo was reborn inside a chemical vat that Clark accidentally falls into, his Kryptonion cells bring Chemo back with Superman's powers.

Were introduced to the Metal Men, Tin, Lead, Gold, Mercury and Platinum off the top of my head. Tin is goofy, akward, the adorable doofus of the crew. Lead the big lunk head, Gold the heroic leader type, Mercury to envious arrogant, and Platinum the sexy robo chick.

The Metal Men help Superman in many creative ways to help defeat Chemo, I really enjoyed the writing and how Byrne brilliantly utilized each character in a believable way! more

Wow this was a nicely packed issue! Superman is screwing up juggling his life as Clark and Superman. Missing deadlines with Perry at Daily Planet, missing his parents 49th anniversary, and failing to stop the Fearsome Five from robbing the rich at first.

Losing his balance his father gets him back on the ball with a nice little speech that he is not two people he is one man. Sometimes more Superman, sometimes Clark but nonetheless he is one GREAT MAN!!

It was nice to see that all of the events of this series has had a kind of mental effect and fatigue on Superman eventually but this happens many issues later so it even illustrates further hoe he even has Super mental endurance. Most heroes probably would get fatigue earlier than this!

It doesn't take much to get Superman back on his feet, just a nice little pick up from Pa and hes back baby!! more

After Hawkman and hawkwoman had no choice but to use the "Overlord" hyperdirve to force the Thanagarian Fleet to spread randomly around the universe millions of miles away from Earth, Superman was left in space alone. Close to death, one of the Green Lanterns out on a new planet search for Therils named Arisia finds Superman floating in space. She brings him to the Earth core Lanterns.

Hal, Kilawog, and others are there ready to greet Superman from his space slumber.

After figuring out what happened with the Hawks, and seeing how Earth was safe from the invasion, they catch a new threat heading toward Earth. A giant planet-sized thing that has natural huge anti-bodies that attack. Its not a living being but turns out to be remnants of the supernatural phenomena Superman fought alongside the Phantom Stranger a few issues back.

The left over residue formed bacteria from the sun creating random life. Unable to move this now larger mass, the Green Lanterns attempt to push back, needing more Willpower Superman combines his will with theirs giving them the power to push the mass into deep space. The conditions of deep space covnverted the once deadly mass into a perfect planet for the endangered alien race of worms called Therils.

This was another creative piece!! more

Hawkman and Hawkwoman look great in this, they call for SUperman's help after having an intense battle with Ved ad his invading force. Ved has called the entire Thanagarian fleet to invade Earth but Hawkman and Hawkwoman enter their ship with Superman to intervene in the coming fleet.

WHile not the most in-depth character story so far in this old line up, it was more of a fun action packed ish. This felt like when you were a child with you friends imagining a space ship battle and coming up with random stuff to make your imaginings feel epic.

I mean this in the most respectful way possible, the light action was fresh and enjoyable here. more

Really loved how Clark struggled with mixing his personal life with his Superman life. We also get a little more on the mysterious group called "The Circle". Prana's wife preaching that Superman is the enemy of the circle for killing her husband in the last issue when Prana tried to read Superman's mind to his detriment. So the circle sends out this big galoot named Concussion! Definetly sounds like he should be in WWE!

Clark is dating Cat Grant at this point, going to a ski resort and learning how she has lost th rights to see her son Adam who is in custody by her ex-husband Morgan. Clark feels sorry for Cat and goes to see Morgan as Superman to convince the man to let Adam see his mother Cat. Morgan tells Supes how Cat was pretty much fooling around with hollywood types which Cat does admit too earlier on with regret.

Superman feel uncomfortable and that he placed himself in an akward spot that is not even his business to begin with. His romantic interest in Cat is clouding his judgement.

Concussion attacks Superman while in Morgan and Adam's apartment almost killing Morgan. Superman fights off COncussion while in the process making Adam terrified of Superman, terrified that he was trying to seperate him from his father Morgan. Superman felt out of character rightfully so but in a way the attack by COncussion sending Morgan and Adam to the hospital allowed Cat to come and visit her son finally. So all ends well in this little ish. more

ETRIGAN AND MORGAN LE FAY!! NICE!

This was freaking whacky as hell. Jason Blood is shopping with his hot girlfriend in some demon shop. His girl picks up some strange little city piece that turns out to be some magic weapon that turns organic life, humans into these futuristic buildings I kid you not this was weird!! Like this could have been an Xavier Renegade Angel Episode on adult swim.

Superman happened to be flying over Gotham seeing these buildings randomly grow, seeing Etrigan he at first assumes Etrigan has fallen back to his evil ways. Not listening to Etrigan he fights him carelessly through the growing city. He finally lets Etrigan explain when the buildings blled human blood from the fight.

Etrigan sends Supes back in time to the black plague to find Jason Blood of that era and stop Morgan Le Fay from creating the device in the first place.

Morgan disguised as a child fooling the old decrepit wizard Merlin to help her make the deadly Hellraiser like object. Jason Blood Etrigan and Supes team up to foil her wicked plot.

This was awesome ish, cant get over how surreal it is and can hear the unearthly sounds of people turning into metallic buildings...

Another homerun here, we get to see a really good look at how Perry White operates under stress. Writing up a piece ready to expose Jay Faulk as the criminal fraud he is to the public, Faulk manages to kidnap Perry's delinquent son off the streets as ransom.

Superman does some investigating and we meet a Bibbo here for the first time. Its a small encounter where he tries to punch Superman thinking he's a fake.

The inner monologue of Perry in this was well done, Wolfman captured him perfectly here and I really felt his internal struggle. But at the same time couldn't help but agree with his son that it shouldnt have been such a struggle to lie about Faulk in order to save his own son.

Thankfully Superman figured everything out before Perry could publish more

BRO! REPTILIANS!!

This is a helluva ish! Besides being nice and meaty, seeing Superman invade Qurac was pretty epic in itself. Believing that the President of Qurac was involved in sending that weird transformer robot that the crew committed suicide in, Superman ends up being wrong in his deductions.

While flying through Qurac, we get some good narration of Superman realizing this is wrong for him to operate in this fashion but he felt he had no choice. The panels go to these two characters hiding in the sewers.

A woman in a hijab, and a Reptilian man dressed in middle-eastern garb attempting to enter the mind of Superman because he believes Superman is one of them. They are from something called "The Circle" but not many details are relayed yet on who this group really is.

In the mind of Superman, the Reptilian shows Superman as a baby getting ready to be launched from Krypton. Taking the form of Lara El, he says Superman is suppose to rule the humans. Baby Superman lashes out and says that he is suppose to serve humanity not enslave them. This is hilarious to see the baby espouse a reptilian on principled morality.

The Reptilian tries everything from having all of Supe's villains torture him to say he is here for evil purposes not benevelant reasons, but SUperman really is here to just help the world as he continuously states to the evil ones who remain unconvinced. They even bring his mind to a dream like Japan getting attacked by Godzilla but he overcomes that as well, it was pretty freaking awesome seeing Superman punched Godzilla into the city. Superman did it so haphazardly because he figured out it was all a dream anyway.

The Reptilian trying to probe Supe's mind died, the wife, tried to do it but she failed as well but survived. Her unconscious body gets picked up by the circle, her Reptilian husband they leave to rot in the sewage water.

I read this comic two years ago and reread it again today for my review and loved it more than last time. Can't wait to see more on Superman vs The Reptilians bro!!! lMfao more

2 points off for having no more Twilight and having her be gone for good without any satisfying conclusion, and having a random giant named Cerne walking through the ocean and Supergirl trying to stop him. Like what??

As for the rest, Comet talks to Supergirl in her mind when she is drowning after being hurled out from Cerne's mouth, telling her they are connected without explaining how or why. Peter David is really building up Comet and his place in the story here.

The best part however is how Linda's father Frank tells her how her mother Sylvia was an alcoholic when they met. That Frank even broke up with Sylvia over it only to get back together when she found out she was pregnant with Linda not believing in abortion. This motivated Sylvia to cold turkey with the support of Frank, Linda being her literal "lifeline". This created a new devotion in the woman believing this was all God's purpose to give her a meaningful life.

So when she found out Linda was merged with Mae, unlike Frank who has now accepted his daughter's new identity, Sylvia fell back to the bottle after all these years believing she lost Linda. Being in the hospital unconscious from L-Ron throwing her around while in her car, we are not sure if she will wake up yet.

David's mastery on the human condition is unquestioning, I love how he is unafraid to touch religious, spiritual themes in the way he does. Many writers seem afraid to do this these days, so it is refreshing to read a comic that is unafraid to touch these spiritual themes. more

Not only was this a fantastic issue art-wise still, but it was really funny too! Supergirl talking to Wally at his grandmother's funeral because she is trying to figure out if he is God or not. Wally has a sense of humor when Supergirl is asking him queestions. Asking for proof he goes on to rebut by saying what miracle can I show that will convince anyone when we live in a world with Martian Manhunter, Weather Wizard, Aquaman, Superman, etc. That believing in God requires faith and free will. Wally never proves that he is God to anyone in the comic but in this ish and last ish he proves it to us the reader.

Wally also tells Supergirl that she is an Earthborn Angel, telling her to look it up at the library not telling us anymore about it.

Last ish when his grandmother died in the hospital his grandfather grew angry with Wally claiming to be God and in his grief demanded Wally bring grandma back to life if he is God. He chased Wally to the baby nursery. Wally pointed toward a baby and said he did bring her back.

Also while at the funeral Wally gave Noah his grandpa a vision dancing with his now deceased wife in the 20s when she was a flapper, thus again proving to us the reader that Wally is God showing himself in subtle ways like this.

We also get a goofy guy by the name Seersucker who tries to get vengeance against his boss, the company he worked for has a statue of Atlas holding the world, a cool reference to Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. When Seersucker puts on his suit powered by a white dwarf star it goes crazy, Supergirl having to try to save him. Not fast enough Comet comes back and reveals himself in human form to save Seer. He runs off though again.

The panel work is really amazing, even from the first page that really pops out the mundane moment of Supergirl trying to be around people when there is time of peace so they don;t attribute her to only battles.

Oh yeah Mattie and Cutter bang but don't remember how they ended up banging eachother so that was funny too... more

Another Great Hit here! There's so much to cover in this one ish... So SUpergirl has no idea at first why she has suddenly developed these fiery wings that grew from her cape but she eventually realizes that it has to do with what Satanus said about her being one of the three chosen ones.

Fred (Linda's father) talks with Noah and Wally, we learn how Wally lost his parents in a fire, and that for the past year he has claimed to his grandfather that he is God. The grandfather doesn't believe it but has played along out of compassion for Wally having a rough childhood.

Spergil fights Despero with some great action scenes but the best part has to be when she exorcises Desperos spirit. Her fiery wings no longer attack when L-Ron returns and Despero leaves his possesed body. SO her fire only attacks malicious entities automatically. Still feeling despair from her parents negative reaction to her revealing, her father Fred shows up to the scene to cheer her victory. This gives her a boost in the battle.

Despero tries to possess Supergirl here, she resist at first but again remembers what Satanus said to her. That any evil that attempts to posses her will be ejected and weakened, so she let's Despero in. It works, and she literally annihilates his spirit with her eye beams.

The area has ashes falling from the sky creating some unique panels of the after battle. Fred and Supergirl hug eachother, showing that her father finally accepts her again. more
