This issue took a little verge off course, from where it seemed we were heading last issue. At the end of last issue, Kara was standing at the bedside of a young boy dying of cancer. She promised him that she wouldn't have to die. But, that was when he was being threatened by the falling buildings. She really didn't mean it in the context that he took it. However, after she and Superman talk to the boy, she's resolved to follow through on her promise. This issue starts out with everyone in the room frozen, except for Kara and somebody in a space-suit, getting ready to shoot a gun at her. It's Kryptonite bullets, and after ripping his suit, he somehow drags her back in to the future with his, where he's from. 400 years in the future actually. He's come back to stop her from helping the boy. Somehow, in the near future . . according to the guy from the way-future . . she does indeed cure the boy. But, in order to do so, somehow, she turns everyone on Earth in to a super-hero. Which, from what I understand, didn't really make everything as Utopian as one might think. Anyways, long story short, she meets up with the future Batman, and he sends her back in time. His only advice for her is, " . . do what you think is right. And oh . . . say "Hi!" to Clark for me, will you?" Basically, this was just a side-step from the story that started last issue. Kelley Puckett does the script, which I think is fantastic. He's a very adept writer, and I think he'll do good things with this character. Rick Leonardi and Dan Green do the art for this issue. It's been a while since I've seen Rick on any regular titles. He did a few fill in's over on Superman. And that's really all he's done lately. I don't think we'll see to much of him here either, because Drew Johnson is supposed to be the regular artist. I just hope they get a stable creative team on this book. I love this character, and I'd hate to see her fall in to oblivion because of reader's disinterest. I know nobody wants to admit it, but that's what happens when the title's aren't stable. Creatively that is. No matter how much we love the characters, we also want to see a consistent interpretation of them. I'm not saying that'll happen here, but . . I'm seeing signs that it's a possibility. So please . . take care of our girl from Krypton, and treat her with all the love and care that she deserves. And we'll keep picking up the title.
