I really like the direction that they're taking with this book. I mean it could be just like every other Superman book. You know . . . . but . . . with a girl. But no! It's different. She's a youngster. A youngster who doesn't know what she wants to do with her life. Who happens to be super powered. She's trying to find her own look, her own style, her own self. She doesn't want to be Superman's cousin. She wants to be her own person. It may seem selfish, but it takes a lot more courage to be yourself than it does to follow in someone else's footsteps, or to be the person everybody thinks you should be. So she's experimenting. But not to worry, she's got a lot of good people looking after her. I mean obviously Superman and Batman are keeping tabs on her. And Nightwing, and now Boomerang are also watching out for her. So I don't think she'll do anything so wrong, that it can't be fixed. The dialouge between Kara and Boomer is great. It's realistic, and honest and funny. And although Amanda Conner isn't the artwork I'm used to with this book, her look was perfect for this story. It has a young, fresh and very vibrant look to it. Oh, and on top of all that, we got to meet the new Terra this issue. I don't know if that's her official name yet, but basically . . . . . it's her. She's a great character too. So all around, a suprisingly good book. By that, I mean, we had a fill in writer and artist this issue, but the book was up to the standards of this series so far. Thank you!!
