Supergirl #10 - Beware Spoilers

Yes! Yes!

Can't believe what have they done. An AE for that? Damn DC...

And u're right, start a TF like that showin her back it's a total shame for readers.

Me specially, she's my all times fav 1. Hope those guys take right way soon.

It was getting better ~ then #12 hit. Not a fan of the art ~ what a stupid story line ~ what a pathetic outfit ~ plus they have just about killed off the alter ego completely.

This was just a pathetic set up for a weak new character that I couldn’t care less about.

Agreed. The art dropped a huge leap back from "trying hard to make something special" back to "mid-70's dime store rag" somewhere between issue 11 and 12. Story-wise, you can pick any issue and make your argument for why it dropped off from there. I find the story started out with potential, hit a couple of sweet-spot issues with that split personality thing (been done before and often, but was still cool), and has been disjointed, dropping loose ends like peanust shells, even non-sensical ever since. And what the heck was that whole Kandor thing? Dropped acid to limbo a writers block!?!

They should really kill the line and start over again. Dragging it out from here's just going to get uglier in increasingly uncomfortable ways. The whole shift to Kandor should have been their big clue that they'd hit their creativity wall.

Incidentally I've scanned and web-archived the whole thing beneath my yahoo group as 'exhibit A' to folks that complain that my writing is disjointed, drops loose ends like peanut shells, and nonsensical towards the complete lack of any resolution. I'm no worse than DC's pro writers on all acounts and now I can prove it.

Their "Supergirl and the Legion of Superheroes" headliner is growing on me. We'll see how many issues THAT holds together for. They're nearing the 10 issue mark, place your bets. The art there was never really much, so it might have the stamina to run longer.

I'm also liking their latest restart of the Wonder Woman line. Placing my bets at 10 issues before that crumbles too. The art there scans dark, but its from an 'atmospheric' coloring style, not from lack of effort on DC's part.

Entropy in story writing. It's inevitable. All stories have an ending. The trick is knowing when you're done.

Rock on.
