This issue definitely did not end the way I expected it to. We start out with Lana being rushed to the hospital. Jimmy and Cat Grant, of all people, are the 2 that are there because they're worried about her. Last issue she just collapsed. We don't get any more information this issue. I think Lana is sneaking out, but . . she tells Jimmy and Cat that she's being released and that she'll return tomorrow for some more tests. Meanwhile, at the end of the last issue Supergirl had learned that Superwoman was actually Lucy Lane. She's got all kinds of questions running through her head right now. She's trying to put everything together. Does this mean that she was in on it with Reactron when he killed her father? Did she help him escape from New Krypton? Is she the one that killed Agent Liberty? And obviously she's just recently put 2 more eye-beam blasts into the chest of Inspector Henderson. She's also confirmed with her super-vision that Lana appears to be Kryptonian, down to her DNA. How is that possible? The thing is . . nobody has made the connection yet to General Lane and project 7734. We find out that Superwoman is trying to frame Kara. That's why she tried to take out Henderson. He was the only one that knew the truth, but without him she could make it look like everything was Kara's fault. Anyways, General Lane doesn't want Lucy's identity compromised so he sends Reactron in to help her out. However, in the process, Reactron accidentally grabs Superwoman's legs and short-circuits the discs attached to her uniform. Kara, thinking that maybe this is where he powers are coming from starts to rip the discs off of her. However, it seems that they, and the suit, are more along the lines of some type of containment suit. Kara says that she's not worthy of the "S" and rips it off her chest. When she does, she immediately starts to overload. "Hhhrrrrhhh! . . s.s.stupid girl! . . you don't . . know . . wasn't the discs . . nnngg! . . suit . . h.h.hurts . . g.get away . . nnnkilled me . . you've killed muh . . muh . . me" Her body is convulsing and distorting during all of this. It appears that she's releasing huge amounts of energy. Back on the monitors at the Generals base it says "Suit Destroyed . . Subject Deceased", over and over again. Kara is also completely distraught because . ."I . . the suit . . I couldn't . . did I . . did I just . . did I just kill Lois' sister?" Wow! What a crazy ending. Not at all what I expected to happen. So now the question is . . where do we go from here? This was a fantastic issue. Sterling Gates is doing a great job with this story. Fernando Dagnino contributed some incredible pencils. I really like his style. And I can't wait to see what happens next.
