Revelations in this issue
-Supergirl in dead in Brainy's timeline, presumably in line with her death in crisis in legion chronology.
-The Brainy/Supergirl storyline continues in the Annual in Autumn which I guess will be the 3rd telling of 'Supergirl's Three Super Girl-Friends'
-Why Una and Karate Kid don't recognise her in the Countdown tie-ins goes unexplained

BTW, does anyone besides me want to like this art more than they actually do?

Maybe it's the coloring. I dunno'... :/

Yes. For me, it's the combination of the linework and the coloring/shading, I think. I like both of them, but not so much together. I think that gorgeous coloring needs thinner lines to accent it, and obvious outlining, no matter how pretty, needs less photorealistic-type coloring, more simple shapes for the shadows, and less sparkly-shiny effects for the hair. Y'know? ...Um, but don't take my word on that; I'm not the greatest artist around.

That's pretty decent analysis, to me.

Now that I'm slightly better-rested, my reaction is similar: the color is too loud for the art. They just don't fit together all that well.
