The bad news is that Ian Churchill is leaving this book after this issue. The good news is that the art is this issue is incredible. He's definitely going out with a bang. To be honest with you, I'm kind of surprised that he was around for this long. It's like savoring on a thick juicy steak. You know it's not going to last forever, so you just want to enjoy every piece as much as you can. Well . . . you can definitely enjoy this piece. Luckily though, Joe Kelly will be on for a few more issues. He's got someone co-scribing the next few issues with him. Probably to smooth the transition. But we do have Ale Garza taking over on the pencils. He's no Ian. And his style is definitely different than his, but I think that he'll still do Kara proud. And, besides all the creative changes, we still got a fantastic character her. I've always enjoyed a good Supergirl story. And the one's in this series, are some of the best ever. They've, along with Jeph Loeb and Ed McGinnis over on Superman/Batman, have done a superb job of developing this character. And even with as much as we've found out about her, there's still some secrets that we don't know yet. Secrets that go all the way back to when she first showed up in Superman/Batman. This issue she's dealing with PowerBoy. In her own unique fashion. In the beginning of the issue she's making out with him, and by the end she's kneeing him in the groin. We also find out that he's from Apokolips. So when Kara destroys his Father Box, there's some disastrous consequences. But we won't know what those are until next issue. Like I said, farewell to Ian. Thanks for all the great issues. We hope we're going to see you somewhere else around the DC universe.
