Supergirl #36 - DC

And we bring in the new year with Supergirl. This issue's brought to us by Sterling Gates and Jamal Igle. I really liked Jamal's work. This is the next chapter in our New Krypton storyline. At the end of the last issue of Action, we saw Kara's dad, Zor, taken down by Reactron. He had Gold Kryptonite in his chest. It's power is to remove a Kryptonian's power for 15 minutes. He does this, and then he starts killing as many as possible. We also found out that the whole thing was orchestrated by General Lane and Lex Luthor. Anyways, Supergirl is powerless also so there's not much she can do. Especially with the city being attacked by Reactron and all of the Brainiac robots. But it seems like through sheer determination Kara decides that she's not going to stand back and let her father's death go unavenged. She fights her way to them, and when she's surrounded by the robots, it looks like she wills her anger to be focused through her eyes. In a burst of heat-vision she melts them all down to slag. After her father's funeral Kara leaves Kandor in a fit of rage. However, while traveling back to civilization she comes into contact with Superwoman. They talk and it seems to help Kara. We don't know who this Superwoman is, but I'm guessing it's Kara's mother, Alura. But, I could be wrong. We also get a glimpse of Nightwing & Flamebird in Gotham. We haven't seen these guys in a long time. Probably way back to World's Finest. I like the way this story is progressing. It seems to be taking it's natural course or events. I'm assuming that eventually they're going to have to take Kandor off planet. Plus with all these cities and sentients aboard Brainiac's ship . . there's certainly no place here for them all here. I'm just wondering if Superwoman and Nightwing & Flamebird will be sticking around. I think we're getting near the end of this story-arc so the answers will be coming up on us pretty fast. I also like it when these storylines are tied throughout all of the Superman books. I think it ties all the books together better, plus . . it's nice for the franchise to all be on the same page. Continuity is the key. Right?
