You have to give this to the Supergirl comic: under writer Sterling Gates and pencilers Jamal Igle and Talent Caldwell, things do not stand still for any length of time.Last issue, Supergirl was sent to Earth on a mission to capture Reactron, a powerful villain who killed her father. She's beaten rather easily by a mysterious character wearing a familiar logo and calling herself Superwoman.
This issue serves as setup for next issue, in which we'll (presumably) learn the answer to the mystery behind Superwoman's identity.
While I was initially left cold by this mystery, I have to admit that it heats up in this comic, as we learn a few more details and discover that things may not be what they seem.
Add to that the growing tension, a brutal attack, a surprise twist or two and Supergirl facing overwhelming odds, and you have a comic that's been quite good of late.
The art has been very well crafted, and the writing strong (though they need to be careful not to make Supergirl a whiny teenager).
This story has me anxious to see the next issue - and you couldn't always say that about a Supergirl comic.
Grade: B+
