Ame-Comi Girls #8

/ / Comics

Ame-Comi Girls #8The final issue collecting the digital comics reimagining the DCU filled with all super-powered heroines and villains comes to a close with more of a whimper than a bang with three separate tales introducing three new characters rather than offering up a final big adventure.

Of the three stories the middle one concerning White Canary is the most interesting as the other two don’t offer much in the way of diffrentiating the Ame-Comi version of the characters from their regular DCU counterparts. The Big Barda space pirate story is fun but incomplete and Mera vs. a female Black Manta didn’t do much for me at all.

The White Canary story gives us a character whose sonic scream is far more pronounced, making it impossible for the heroine to communicate at anything above a whisper (unless she wants to destroy all surrounding structures). I’ve enjoyed this series, and even if the final issue is one of the weakest, I’ll still miss it’s optimism and gleeful spirit. Once again, this is something the New 52 could use far more of… as well as more strong (preferably not insane) female characters. For fans.

Supergirl #24

/ / Comics

Supergirl #24As the disembodied spirit of Supergirl fights to regain her body, Brainiac attacks I’noxia, and the restored Zor-El discovers his mistake at sacrificing his daughter to regain his own humanity.

Supergirl #24 wraps up the Cyborg-Superman storyline with the return of both the New 52 versions of the villain and the comic’s heroine. Although the planet is lost to Brainiac’s attack, Supergirl’s ordeal has cured her of the Kryptonite poisoning and both Kara and Cyborg-Superman are left unaware of the true series of events that allowed to regain her form as the villain, loosing the knowledge he gained as Zor-El, believes Brainiac’s attack is the cause of the experiment’s failure.

The comic ends with an appearance of an Oracle and the introduction of a Supergirl/Action Comics crossover (something I’m not too excited about) featuring “The Return of Krypton (something I’m really not excited about). I enjoyed this arc, but it may be time for me to give this comic another short break. Worth a look.
