The Source posted a smattering of pages from the next installment of Superman/Batman #62, which arrives in stores next week. I like the pairing of Supergirl and Robin, and as a big fan of the Blue Bettle series, I really dig on Rafael Albuquerque’s art.
I was searching for Supergirl images for the Art Appreciation Moment of the Day, and was amazed at how many pieces of art out there, that do not portray the cousin from Argo City as a teenager. I did find Brianne Drouhard’s rendition, which I thought fit what I was looking for.
It is Supergirl. She is flying. It is her #1 skill.
Superwoman Revealed
Kara Zor-El has been plagued by the mystery of Superwoman’s identity for four issues now. For those that have been following closely, the clues to her identity are there, you just need to know where to look.
The Wheel of Morality will turn,turn,turn, and we’ll think of something funny to say about wherever it stops… theoretically, anyway. Johnny’s got his gun, and he’s lookin’ for Keanu. Bulletproof girls still like to play headgames. Plus: Is it #1 or #401? The Lion, the Witch, and the pyramids at Giza! And Rodrigo says It’s time to get things started… (Why won’t you get things started?) on the most sensational, inspirationational, spoiletational, majorational…

New Krypton Part 11
I’ll admit I was a little surprised when the New Krypton story wrapped up in Action Comics #873. I figured this was a story that would go on for 12 issues minimum, and really needing 24 issues to tell the massive story DC set into play that turned into a surprise hit for the company. Even though the New Krypton banner may be gone from the covers, the New Krypton story continues as the story shifts from Earth to Kandor.
Well that fight was a let down
The final chapter of Superman/Supergirl: Maelstrom is both awesome and disappointing. For four issues we’ve been building to the battle of the century, but what we get is another life lesson everyone can learn from.
Superman injured? Furies attacking? A loss in cup size? It can only mean one thing; the next installment of DC’s Maelstrom issue has arrived and needs reviewing.
It’s man against nature, and nature looks like it is winning
With the Death of the New Gods, Superman disappearing in Trinity, and Supergirl going through whatever Supergirl is going through at the moment, you’d think another book featuring Superman, Supergirl, and the New Gods would not be high on my radar. For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been looking forward to Superman/Supergirl: Maelstrom, for the great art, the compelling story, and the fact it gives readers a break from the complicated goings on in the main Superman titles.
A little family time is good for the soul
Supergirl had a pretty rough time when Darkseid’s psycho groupie showed up on Earth looking to kill Superman. Had Kal-El not arrived in time, Kara might have found herself on the receiving end of the icy cold fingers of death. Instead Maelstrom was sent packing back to Apocalypse, leading Clark to think it would be a good idea to do a little cousin bonding.
DC has provided a preview to the next installment of the New Krypton storyline in the pages of Supergirl #35. Things get rough for Supergirl as she not only has to contend with the military and fallout from Amazons Attack, but also the return of her parents.
Continuity be damned
If you miss the Good Ol’ Days of DC Comics where the hero would battle the bad guy, then you’re wish is answered in DC’s Superman/Supergirl: Maelstrom #1. If you don’t miss the Good Ol’ Days of DC Comics, prepare to be angry.
Is your blood starting to boil? Be calm and chant with me now; Continuity doesn’t matter. Continuity doesn’t matter. Continuity doesn’t matter. Ah…
The Superman Man of Tomorrow panel was the first presentation from DC, and featured Senior Editor Matt Idelson, Superman writer James Robinson and artist Renato Guedes, Action Comics’ Geoff Johns and artist Joe Prado, artist Jamal Igle and writer Sterling Gates from Supergirl.
Or – “Making The World Safe For Skin-Tight Red Hotpants… Thank Rao!”
In the 70 years since the advent of Superman, there have been a great many superheroes, with varying raisons d’etre. Some came to cash in on trends, some to break new ground, some to irritate, some to ingratiate, and some to infiltrate. But today’s entrant seemingly comes from the basest of all creative wells: protection of copyright. Like Jessica Drew, Carol Danvers, Kathy Kane, and others, our hero du jour is a female version of an existing hero. Unlike any of those others, she managed to carrying her own book on at least FIVE occasions (though that does raise the point that it was cancelled FOUR times) and was a fixture of the DC Universe for decades. Many of the Legionnaires possessed powers on her level, but few matched her for sheer tenacity and dedication. Though her beauty was legendary, her mind was a match for Brainiac 5 himself, and her dedication to protecting innocents led to one of the most tragic moments in comic history. This, then, is your Major Spoilers Hero History of Kara Zor-El of Argo City… Supergirl!
Laura Vandervoort – Supergirl from the CW’s Smallville, has joined the list of guests for the 2008 Emerald City Comicon scheduled for May 10th and 11th at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center in Seattle, Washington.
“‘Smallville’ is shot just a couple hours north of Seattle and we’ve had many requests for an actor from the show to appear, so were very excited to have the lovely and talented Ms. Vandervoort out to the convention this year,” says Organizer Jim Demonakos. “In addition, Jamie Bamber, who plays ‘Apollo’ on the new ‘Battlestar Galactica,’ will also be appearing.”
In addition to the growing list of guests, the show has been gathering show exclusives for attendees. One of the latest is free copy of SuperPowers #0 with an exclusive variant cover by Alex Ross, that you can see after the jump.

The Legion has been through a lot of strange periods in their history… The times when they kept getting turned into toddlers. The Mike Grell “Everybody’s Naked” issues. Element Lad’s Jheri curl. The Nine-Panel Grid. There was the whiplash from manga-inspired “Archie Legion” to dark and gritty “Legion Lost,” even the point during the last series where it seemed like we were once again telling stories about the original pre-Crisis LSH, continuity be damned. Right now, interest in the Legion seems to be peaking again, but we’re in another transition period, between the highly successful Waid/Kitson Reboot Period and the much-anticipated return of Jim Shooter to the title that made him capital-s Shooter. Which is sad, because we’re getting an interesting set of tales here…
