Supergirl #1

Supergirl #1Following the events set up in Supergirl: Rebirth #1, the first issue of the new Supergirl series centers around Kara Zor-El‘s struggle to fit in to her life on Earth. Kara struggles against the limitations of both her new cover identity as high school student Kara Danvers and her role with the DEO who want to monitor, and control, when and where the Kryptonian teenager uses her newly-restored powers.

Artist Brian Ching proves to be an interesting choice for the artist of the new series giving it a distinct look and feel. There’s a bit too much classic Peter Parker moping going on her for my tastes as Kara’s lack of understanding with Earth technology (far behind Kryptonian advancements) leads to struggles in the classroom. Writer Steve Orlando balances these sequences with scenes from Krypton showing us how Kara excelled in similar situations on her native world.

Green Arrow #6

Green Arrow #6Green Arrow #6 shifts the focus off of Green Arrow and Star City as it follows Emiko and Shado back to Tokyo. Burdened by the betrayal she’s committed, we’re given flashbacks of Emiko’s time with Ollie in Star City while she works out a way to put things right with the Yakuza who, unknown to her, Shado was still working for as a mole for the Ninth Circle.

The change of pace works well for the comic while helping fill us in on Emiko and where she currently stands. The flashbacks also give us glimpses of other mistakes she made in Star City including an attempt to prove herself worthy of being Green Arrow’s new sidekick by doing a little snooping which led both her, and Ollie, to fall under the influence of the Clock King.
