Supergirl #42 - DC


This issue, with Lana's help, Kara decides to come clean with Lois. You know, about her sister and all? Lois is pretty upset, and can't even stand to look at Kara, but . . what I think she's really mad about is that her sister had this secret life and she didn't even know about it. In the old days she just would've blamed her dad, because he pushed her so much that she always felt like she had to prove herself in his eyes. But since he's dead . . oh, wait . . he's not dead. Only Lois doesn't know that. Yet! Give it time. She's the master snooper. She'll figure it out. Speaking of figuring it out, I can't believe that the General has been keeping such a close eye on Lois' apartment, has seen her interaction with other 'supers', but still hasn't put together the pieces about Clark / Superman. "Lois married that oaf of a man, Clark Kent." I think, sometimes, when it comes to family, we can be blinded by what's blatantly staring us in the face. But still, you'd have thought that one of his advisers or someone would've put it together. Anyways, the General retrieves Reactron this issue. Lois, after hearing the story about her sister, starts doing some snooping. It's only a matter of time now. And, now that Kara's cleared the air, as it were, she's decided to head back to New Krypton and see what she can figure out there . . about Lucy, about Zod, about Ursa . . about so many things, really. She's got a lot to sort out. I thought this was a great issue. It really progressed the various story-lines quite a bit. I really like the way that Sterling Gates expressed the relationship between Lana and Kara. "When I'm here, why don't you just call me Linda from now on." They've really become quite close. I also enjoy Jamal Igle's pencils. He's really become the perfect artist for this series. It seems like this book is getting better with every issue.
