The "New" Supergirl!

The New 52 issues has been considered a success, would you agree? Personally, I disagree with that statement. With a sucess comes winning over the already established fan base of each and every character they have rebooted. For me and my character, Supergirl, I am not totally on broad with it all yet.

While I wouldn't go to the extreme of saying I hate the new storyline of Supergirl, I sure wouldn't say it won me over. Reading the introduction of Supergirl in Superman/Batman by Jeph Loeb made me fall in love with Kara. While the new 52 Supergirl storyline by Michel Green and Mike Johnson, is fun and intriguing, it dosnt grab me nearly in the same way. Granted I know I do have to take into consideration that the story arch is not finished. I really am just going off of what I have read so far. To play fair I would love to share highlights that I really do love in the story so far.

I really enjoyed the opening meteor shower scene, very smallville.  Along with the followed scenes of Supergirl kicking butt, what a cool way to find out her powers. A little too fast with them all coming to her so easily, but I did enjoy seeing her discover she has new,and very different powers that are not normally accustomed to Supergirl or Superman.

Her meeting Clark was also something I enjoyed, I love a good Supergirl vs Superman fight. I could be bias because my boyfriend is a sup fan so whenever my girl kicks his butt I do a secret victory dance. I am hoping for some good dialogue between the two as well. I loved the relationship that they built between the two of them in the previous story archs and hope they take the same route.

 I will always love Supergirl, her underlying essences, will always keep her in my heart. I will continue to buy the new issues with high hopes of seeing the Kara I fell in love with unfold on the pages. Is this what DC had in mind with the re-boot, taking our beloved characters and making them "OK". Knowing we cant really walk away from them. Sales numbers have doubled and its being called a success. Is that what really defines a success, sales number and money. I know I am not the only disappointed fan out there, and I hope DC hears our disappointment and steps up to meet what the fans want.

 I'm new to the fan girl game Ive always loved geeky things but wasn't fully introduced to the world until i met my real love my boyfriend, fellow blogger on this page. His obsession with comics, especially Superman,  lead us to coffee dates at a comic book store and adventures to San Diego for Comic Con. Immersed into that world I couldn't help but want a character i could call my own. Looking around at the comic book store you will quickly find there aren't too many girl characters that are marketed to Women. I wanted someone i could relate to and that was also associated with the character my boyfriend loved. I wanted to be apart of his world in my own way, unfortunately the girl heroines in Superman's life are very limited. When low and behold i find myself a hot blond girl with powers that can keep Superman on his toes, my kinda girl already. I dove full force into the world of Supergirl and continue to fall in love with her to this day.

My first introduction to her was from Superman/Batman: Supergirl. Jeph Loeb drew me into Kara's world while Turner made it impossible to look away from the pages. Ive followed this Supergirl, Kara Zor-El's, story line from this point on. I really loved where Sterling Gates took her story, sad to see him and Jamal Igle go but excited to continue reading and see where her story will go.I'm breaking open the New Krypton series next so watch out for more posts about that series.
