Supergirl #39 - DC


I thought we'd learn more about Superwoman this issue, but . . the biggest 'reveal' was last issue when Reactron tried to blast her with Kryptonite and had no effect. "Who said I was Kryptonian?" Priceless. Anyways, it was startling this issue though when, after capturing Reactron again, she turns and blows up his ex-girlfriends apartment. "I was given 2 specific orders for this mission, Krull. One: retrieve the AWOL codename: Reactron from girlfriend's home in Metropolis. Two . . . make sure her death looks accidental." Mean while Kara, with Lana's help, is trying to find Reactron herself to complete the mission that her mother gave her. She ends up having to go to the Metropolis Police and Inspector Henderson for help. The Inspector is trying to work with her, help each other, but then Major Lane show up ready to arrest her for being a rogue Kryptonian. Remember? They've all been banished from Earth. Well, except for Superman. But he's nowhere around because he's recently relocated to New Krypton. Anyways, General Lane now has Superwoman and Reactron working together, and their mission is to capture Supergirl. At the end of this issue, with Major Lane's help from her satellite surveillance, Kara finds this out and immediately heads out to wait for them. Everything is going to come to a head next issue. So far I think Sterling Gates is doing a decent job with the scripts here. And I love Jamal Igle's work. Next issue though, we should finally find out just who Superwoman is.
