I love this book. Ian Churchill isn't going to be around much longer. And that's really sad. Because this book . . . . is frakkin' phenomenal. First we got Joe Kelly's story, that is just . . . right on the button. I mean it really is perfect. The interaction between Kara and Powerboy is perfect. The interaction between Kara and Boomer' is . . . . insane. I mean, I don't think either one of them realizes that Boomer' is in love with her. But the way the talk to each other, and act around each other is just perfect. And don't forget the meeting with Tim in the Batcave. "It's nice to see you too, Robin. Stop me if you've heard this, but the gravelly voice thing is adorable." Then we got the fight scene with Batgirl and Supergirl. Batgirl has her on the ropes with, " . . . . diamond dust, red wavelength UVB lights . . . . and me!" She has two swords wrapped about her neck and she says, "Neither of us is special. We are just the daughters of our fathers." When all of the sudden this crystal thing shows up around Kara's stomach, and shoots crystal spikes out her back, eviscerating Batgirl. So she calls Powerboy for help. But as he's talking to her, he's looking at a wall in the plane hanger, which is where I assume that he lives, at it's cover, ceiling to floor, with all kinds of pictures of Kara. Can we say serial stalker? Whatever it is, this guy is nutso! And the next issue blurb says, " . . . . when things get weird!" Weirder than this? I guess Ian wants to go out with a bang. If you haven't picked up the first 14 issues of this series, you need to go out and find 'em. They are worth every penny. Thanks to everyone for all their hard work.
