That is some lovely art, especially the last page, if only it weren't ruined by that costume... which I just CANNOT get to work at all (and I'm a guy who can justify the Disco!Wing costume)
Well, when your body is tougher than any personal armor this side of the Entropy Aegis then you probably don't pay too much care on how protective your clothing are. Not that I can think of any other reason except running out of fabric that would explain this fashion faux pas either.
That would seem odd because, from what we've seen, it looks like she has regular, Kryptonian memories. Of course, that could be imprinted...and that could be used to make sure that while Kara may be linked to Clark now, he's still the last "pure" Kryptonian.
But I'm also hoping that the divergent powers comes from the idea that the solar radiation affects Kryptonians in different ways. I think that's a really cool idea.
So, that would mean Death and Return of Superman was no longer in? Because Steel has already appeared in Action Comics. But how would that affect Green Lantern, I wonder?
The Kryptonian people in the pre-52 universe covered the majority of their skin and frowned on casual skinship. The idea of blatantly displaying their inner thighs - not to mention *ugh* the crotchplate - would have repulsed them. Normally I don't condemn retcons, but here I'd like to see that particular piece of history preserved over this gauche abomination. I LIKE fanservice, I really do. Heck, I grew up ogling Wonder Woman. But this? This isn't even fanservice, her outfit is a huge turnOFF (maybe that's some sort of insane plan to de-sexualize her?)
You see double downward pointing triangles on her crotch is an attempt to de-sexualize her? (Assume that was said in a fairly mild, ironic tone; I'm not trying to start an argument.)
The context of my statement is that her lower outfit is so incredibly TERRIBLE, that it fails to be even remotely sexy. It's almost like the Young Justice villain whose breasts where so large she kept falling over. Instead of being sexy its just plain gross.
....and I still don't see we needed to reboot to have Supergirl in adventures like the above (or this art). this could have been as easily a continuation of the previous and quite recent Supergirl title!
You know, it's kind of strange. There are so many costumes that bother the fuck out of me and that no one else seems to care that much about (Ice's costume, Dinah's eighties outfit, Wonder Woman's Odyssey outfit, etc.) and this costume bothers everyone but me.
I mean, don't me wrong, I don't think it's a good costume. But I don't think it's a bad one, either. It's definitely kind of awkward, but I spend exactly zero percent of my reading the issue thinking about it. Whereas everyone else seems to spend about ninety-five percent of their time. Which is a shame, really. It's definitely one of the better titles of the DCnU (the best in my opinion) and I wish more people would concentrate on its awesomeness and not on the costume fail.

(sorry for the rush job)
Still needs the crotchplate to be more integrated but a definite improvement!

...I would find it hilarious of Kara metamorphosized into Doomsday, 90's spikes and all.

I think it's cute that thinking is all she does in these pages.

The top is pretty good, and I actually like the crotch plate, but everything goes downhill from there.
