Supergirl #29 - DC

This story-arc has gone off in a strange direction. Kara, saved a boy from a falling building a couple of issues ago. Well in the process she told him that she would save him. What she didn't know, is that he was dying of cancer. He took it as, she would save him . . from the cancer. Which is obviously not what she meant. In the process of sorting it out, somehow, Superman became involved and was going to try to explain it to the boy since, obviously, Kara couldn't. During that, she had some kind of vision, or experience or something, of the future. It showed what appeared to be a Utopian earth, but the man, who was talking to her, seemed very agitated with her and kept saying that she was going to change the Earth. But even though it appeared to be a Utopian Earth, he seemed to want to stop her. I was a bit confused about that part. Anyways, so she comes back, or wakes up, and tells Superman to stop. She's decides she's going to do everything she can to save this boy and keep her promise. Anyways after talking to more than a few people, she hooks up with Thomas Shelley, the Resurrection Man. She's hoping that if he keeps dying, one of the times he'll come back with healing powers. But, she doesn't know how to fulfill that plan because, obviously, she can't kill him. So they end up finding a Doctor Luzano, and breaking him out of prison. He's supposed to be this brilliant scientist that's a whiz with DNA, or something. Anyways, long story short, he betrays them and uses his science for his own ends. Big surprise there. They fight, and in the process Thomas is killed. When he comes back, he does indeed have healing powers, and he uses them to beat Doctor Luzano. But, in the process . . . he's killed again. Kara tries to race him back to the hospital in time, but Superman catches up to her and informs her that he is dead . . again. My question is . . obviously this isn't going to work . . why is Superman allowing her to continue on this quest? All she's doing is hurting herself, the people around her . . and this little boy. And why is she so obsessed with this anyways? We haven't really delved in to what's pushing her right now. I really enjoy Kelley Puckett's story telling ability, but, obviously, there's something going on right now that we don't completely understand. And it's coming off as more than a bit strange. Also, I have to say, I'm not thrilled with Drew Johnson and Ron Randall's pencils. They're ok . . I just thought this series would do better. I love this character, and I want this series to work. However, on the current track . . I give it, at the most, another 12 issues. Please, somehow, bring this book back to the greatness that it had . . some 12 issues, or so, past. I think the character deserves that.
