Supergirl and the Legion of Super-heroes #24 - DC


Another issue with Barry Kitson doing the art. Awesome!! He's been on the book for the whole 24 issues, it's just that with some of the issues, he just did the layouts. So it's good to see him back on full art chores. This one picks up where the last issue left off, the Legion has taken Kara to Kandor, to try to make her feel at home. She still thinks that this is all just a dream. We also learn a little about the history of Kandor. What's happened to it in the last couple of thousand years. During their visit, they came across another group of youngsters, trying to heist some of Kandor's treasures. The Legion, mostly Kara really, stops them and discovers a phantom zone projector. While they've been here, Saturn Girl has been distracted, because Mon-El has been trying to reach someone from the Zone, and it appears that Saturn is the only one that can hear him. So they take the projector back to their headquarters to have Brainiac look at it. And yes they take Kara with them. They don't leave her in Kandor. Well then, come to find out, Phantom Girl can see him also. So they try something new, and Saturn and Phantom, try to morph together with their powers and this helps them to actually talk to Mon-el. And they do so just in time, as Mon-el was trying to warn them that someone is about to attack their headquarters. Mark Waid and Barry Kitson make a great team. They seem to play off each other very well. And they also seem to bring out the best in each other. They've done a fantastic job with this book so far. Here's hoping that they stick around, until at least issue 100. Cross your fingers!
