This book just gets better and better every month. That last story arc with Karen, Power Girl, and the Nightwing / Flamebird story, was great. Joe Kelly really writes a lot of nuances into his stories, that make them very interesting. Boomerang is in this issue this month also. He seems to be everywhere, Outsiders, Robin and now Supergirl. The opening page is Karen sitting in a bar, smoking, wearing a ripped up black t-shirt, a loose skirt, and not sitting like a lady. Oh, and having a heart to heart with Boomerang. You also see Kara and Karen arguing, yes a chick fight, about how they got out of Kandor. Karen finally realizes that Kara basically sold them out because the "holy mother" gave her some info on Argo. There's a lot of interaction with Cassandra too. I think Kara thinks of her as a step sister sort of, after their time together on Paradise Island. She also goes and visits the Kents. Which is where the black t-shirt with the "S" symbol came from. It was Conner's, and she stole it while she was visiting. She doesn't want to have to worry about money anymore, so she sells a piece of Kryptonian technology to Bruce for a million dollars. And she still has time to save a little girl that walks out in front of a car by accident. When she finally goes home to unwind, Cassandra comes over because her and her mom got into a fight again. As they're sitting and talking, Kara gives the t-shirt to Cassandra because she knows it means more to her. It looks to me like Kara is trying to forge her own path, and she's certainly not holding to convention. But that's ok. We need some down to earth super-heroes. Not everyone can be a Boy-Scout. Oh, and did I mention that Ian Churchills pencils were astounding??
