Supergirl

Supergirl #3

/ / Comics

I finally figured out what this comic reminds me of. With it’s small town setting and problems that can ultimately be solved with kind words and a hug, this run of Supergirl reminds me of Archie comics (in a good way). Rebranded “Phonygirl,” Supergirl continues to try and win back the inhabitants of Midvale and free them from machinations of the Kandorian Lesla-Lar whose obsession with Kara has led her to try and take over her life. Unable to keep playing hero, Lesla-Lar then turns to villain.

Supergirl #1

/ / Comics

A new volume of Supergirl begins here with an issue that does a pretty good job on hitting on several aspects of Kara and letting us know what’s going to be covered/included in the current version. Along with appearances by both Krypto and Streaky, Supergirl #1 also gives us Supergirl (very quickly) stopping threats in both Metropolis by defeating Princess Shark and in Kandor dealing with Lar-On on a rampage before returning to Midvale to discover something quite bizarre is going on.

Justice League Unlimited #5

/ / Comics

Justice League Unlimited #5, which features several heroes including Flash, Green Lantern, Impulse, Star Sapphire, Wonder Woman, and Supergirl all disappearing and finding themselves fighting threats in some weird nightmarish dimension, is really a lead up to the issue’s final panel (which, oddly enough, is given away on the comic’s cover?).

My Adventures with Superman - The Death of Clark Kent

Well, if you can’t come up with a good villain you can always turn Superman (Jack Quaid) into the villain, I guess. As Kara (Kiana Madeira)  helps Lois (Alice Lee) and Jimmy (Ishmel Sahid) sneak aboard the ship, Brainiac (Michael Emerson) works on Clark’s psyche finding a weakness in the recent disappointments concerning his friends and exploiting them. The episode ends with Brainiac now fully in control of Superman’s body laying the foundation for Lex Luthor (Max Mittelman) and Amanda Waller‘s (Debra Wilson) fears to come to pass with an invasion of Earth by “Superman.”

My Adventures with Superman - The Machine Who Would Be Empire

Leaving events on Earth alone (although we may catch up with those a bit in the next episode), “The Machine Who Would Be Empire follows Kara (Kiana Madeira) and Clark‘s (Jack Quaid) adventures in space where she eventually leads him to her “father” Brainiac (Michael Emerson) who wishes to rebuild the Kryptonian Empire. Through some sort of mind-control Brainiac has been using Kara not to bring planets in peacefully to the empire but to wipe them out completely (including Thanagar which the cousins visit). By the end of the episode Kara understands how she has been duped, but she need some help to save Superman (and the universe) from the AI.
