Supergirl #22 - DC


Another issue that wraps up a current story-line. I like Tony Bedard's story. But . . . I'm not thrilled with Renato Guedes art. Obviously the guy has talent. I wish I could draw like him, or anybody, but . . . his style just doesn't do it for me. But, this is really just a fill in story-line between the old and new creative teams. The new one comes on board next issue, and it consists of Kelley Puckett writing, and Drew Johnson and Ray Snyder doing the interior art. This story-arc crosses over with Countdown. Supergirl, kind of, helps Karate Kid and Una on a leg of their journey. And actually it's a good thing she came along, because after talking to Mister Orr, Equus has decided to go after them himself. I think because Karate Kid humiliated him, but I'm not sure. Anyways, between seeing them, and having Equus drop a train on her head, the memories from when she went to the future come rushing back in to her head. The only problem is, as she's explaining this to Karate Kid and Una, they have no idea what she's talking about. Apparently her past . . . is actually their future. Confused? Anyways, long story short, they hit Equus hard enough to contain him, and then Mister Orr shows up and retrieves the Government's property. And all our heroes go their separate ways. But we do see Clark come to talk to Kara. He says he's proud of her. And he understands that she has to find her own way. He's also glad that she's made amends for what happened with Airforce 1. And finally he leaves her with the suggestion, "I think you should join the Teen Titans." Which she's confused about his motivations, until she realizes that they're all there, also, to ask her to join. So I think, between this book, and the Legion and the Titans . . . . . this Supergirl is going to be around for a long time to come.
