Supergirl #46 - DC

Last issue ended with Kara, Thara and Chris being subdued by Reactron. He has them in Red-Sun chains. But Chris finds out that the Red-Sun doesn't have any affect on his tactile-kinesis. Isn't that kind of the same power that Connor has? I wonder what the connection is there? Anyways, he helps them break free, but . . with a gold Kryptonite heart, it isn't long before Reactron again overpowers them. He's beaten up Kara and Thara, and is about to take out Chris when Lois comes snooping around. This is just enough to distract Reactron for a second. But when he comes back to Chris, the trauma and stress seems to be having an effect on Thara, who's watching the whole scene unfold. It seems like she's basically trying to will her powers into working when, all of the sudden . . she transforms into the actual Flamebird. Reactron is no match for this power. Flamebird removes his Kryptonite heart, and when it looks like she's about to kill him, he spills his guts about everything. 'No please it wasn't me . . Mon El's alive! He's alive! It was the witch, Mirabai, she did it. She disguised me and Metallo. She used magic . . even the bomb, the water, it was all General Lane's idea! It was Lane!' Lois is still present when all of this comes out. Anyways, Kara talks Flamebird down, so she doesn't kill Reactron. And says that she'll return him to New Krypton for justice. Kara and Thara end up making up after that. And Thara tells her about the secret that Lana's been hiding. Unfortunately . . we don't actually hear what it is. Kara tells Lana that they'll talk about it when she returns from New Krypton. Overall I thought this was a pretty good storyline. This is the conclusion, but . . it's still really not over. What's Lois going to did with what she's learned? And it says that next issue we'll learn what the final fate of Reactron is. Sterling Gates and Greg Rucka provided the words. And Jamal Igle and Eduardo Pansica provide the pencils. I liked it. I thought it was a good story, with a believable conclusion. It also left several things open to future resolution. I just can't believe that we're almost up to issue #50. Wow! Where does the time go?
