Supergirl #1

Loved it other than the redesigned costume. Those knee cut-outs are ridiculous.

December 7, 2011 11:50 pm i think this officially puts the nail in the coffin and after 30 years will be done with Marvel. These "architects" have built nothing but big stinking outhouses attached to the House of Ideas. I'll sit quietly in the corner and read old comics, thanks.
December 6, 2011 10:46 pm thrilled--now i can read avengers again!
October 19, 2011 11:19 am I personally don't like Jean as a character. Just reread the old run up to where she dies...she's just not someone I connect with, and I think she brings out the worst in Cyclops. Give the Phoenix a rest, Marvel. Here's my picks on who will get it: 1-The Beyonder: you know Secret Wars 3 is on the backburner somewhere 2-Aunt May: so she can turn dark and commit suicide, never to be seen again 3-Impossible Man: think of the hilarity! 4-split it up among some villains and they kinda lose control and all the heroes give up...oh wait... 5-Squirrel Girl: she was meant for greater things other than a nanny. And think of all those panels of Avengers who can talk about her for issues! 6-Galactus: he eats it, gets indigestion and farts away a cosmic rift, bringing back Nova and all the dead Guardians of Galaxy 7-It causes every dead Marvel hero and villain and supporting character to return! And they can't ever die! 8-Jean Grey's cocoon 9-another Summers from another reality! gasp--is she Jean? is she Madelyne? is she Mystique in disguse??? 10-Wolverine or Deadpool. They need another book. Take that Marvel architects!
September 22, 2011 9:11 am I completely agree!!! although I give the story a 1--it is just garbage what they ended up fighting over.(and it's NOT the kids/standoff). This may be what makes me drop X-books after 30 years of reading every issue.
September 20, 2011 11:28 pm only thing that looks intersesting to me is Alpha Flight and Thunderbolts
September 18, 2011 10:28 pm I'm reading all the debuts a well as the second issues before dropping any right off the bat. The books I'm leaning towards dropping so far are Red Lanterns, Deathstroke, Hawk and Dove, Green Arrow, Statc Shock and Men of War.
September 18, 2011 11:50 am I'm dropping Spidey. Not a Ramos fan and this story isn't for me
September 17, 2011 11:56 pm The let in end! screaming was me, but the man down yelling and such was from Cap--no not liking this train wreck at all
September 16, 2011 1:37 pm I get why some people have a stigma with Legion, but you know what? I think they are the easiest to keep track of as far as large super groups because each member is inducted but has to have their own unique power. The characters in this book have been around since the 70s (mostly: Gates is Zero Hour/90s, Tellus and Chameleon Girl:80s and Timber Wolf 60s) Here's a quick recap of who is who: Timber Wolf (Brin Londo): think Wolverine without being a killer...and yes he predates Wolverine. Wildfire (Drake Burroughs) he's anti-energy in a suit--no body. Dawnstar (lady with wings) super power is can track anything in the universe; Gates: bug-creature can teleport; Tyroc(Troy Stewart): one of DC's first African-American heroes in the 70s: sonic powers; Chameleon Girl (Yera Allon) shapeshifter married to fellow Legionnaire Colossal Boy. (he prob will show up in Legion. Tellus: fish-like guy telepath and telekinesis. Each Legionnaire is given a flight ring and a "transuit" the kicks in when they are in space or atmospheres to breath. (they are transparent...just go with it) The villain used is probably new, I don't recognize him. Lately in the Legion books there's a panel showing who's who but for some reason they didn't go for that approach here. DC has said that, like Batman and Green Lantern, the Legion pre-52 is supposed to stay relatively intact so try a trade or look online. There really are some great stories told. And if you can keep track of dozens of X-men or Avengers, I don't know why Legion seems hard for readers. Hope this helps.
