Supergirl and the Legion of Super-heroes #23 - DC


I really, really like this book. Mark Waid has done some amazing stuff with these story lines. We're going on 2 years now that he's been on this book. I really hope he sticks around for at least that much longer. He does a fantastic job blending these characters and their individual story lines together. And in this issue, Barry Kitson is back on pencils. Solo! He did the layouts for some of the fill in artists, but he actually does the pencils on this one. I'm also surprised, pleasantly, to see him still on this book after 2 years. Whomever has him chained to his drawing board, thank you very much! This issue focus' mainly on Supergirl. After the Zeta beam brought her into the future, she's had a hard time actually believing that all of this is real. She thinks she's just having a grand delusion. So, with all that power unchecked if she thinks there's no ramifications for her actions, they decide that it's time to try to shock her into reality. So they take her to the Bottle City of Kandor. Which is no longer in a bottle. They've expanded it on a planet with a similar atmosphere and gravitational field of Krypton. They're hope is that the city, and it's people, might bring her back to earth . . . . . . sort of. If not, then with their technology, and knowledge of Kryptonian physiology, they may be able to help her adapt. What they don't know is, 1st they Legion of Super-villains happens to be attacking, or rather robbing the city at the same time, and 2nd there appears to be a thin veil between this city and the Phantom Zone. We may be seeing the reappearance of . . . . . . . . Valor.
