The latest mystery figure in comics is the new "Superwoman," whose identity is still unknown.Of course, barring a truly unexpected plot twist, it's difficult to care much about her real identity, since she's apparently a Kryptonian, and we've only met two or three females who could fill the part. I'm assuming she isn't Power Girl in disguise - she doesn't seem to have the right proportions, if you get my drift.
The comic belongs to Supergirl, but she's a surprisingly passive presence in this issue. She spends most of her time being bossed around by her Mother on New Krypton.
Next issue promises much more conflict, so we'll see what writer Sterling Gates has in store. As always, the artwork is very good, as Jamal Igle and Keith Champagne turn in another excellent, energetic job.
This issue's not quite up to recent efforts, but it's obviously setting the story up for next month's issue - as that last page shows.
Still, Supergirl's comic is better now than it's been in years.
Grade: B-
