they aren't even TRYING for Subltly are they... i mean if WE can see it...

but they, we have our shipping goggles on all the time...

[stolisomancer]

I swear I can hear Perez giggling in the background.

[shadowpsykie]

you just made me squirt water out of my nose. i hope you are happy.

[darkknightjrk]

Oh, Maguire and Levitz totally have something to do with this too.

[shadowpsykie]

yeah this is just text now, they passed SUB leagues ago.

[stolisomancer]

I don't intend to minimize their role, but I do have to wonder if one or all of them sat down intending to make a lesbian version of, say, the Jeph Loeb "Would you two just make out already?!" Superman/Batman. That hand placement in the panel where Power Girl's waking up is all sorts of deliberate.

O H THANK GOD! itsan't justme!

, the Jeph Loeb "Would you two just make out already?!" Superman/Batman
heh seriously, this too, it's like "OH MY GOD JUST DO IT!"

[crabby_lioness]

Happy Perez = happy us.

[shadowpsykie]

hehehehehe

[crinos]

So, there isn't an Eiffel Tower in the DCNU main universe anymore? Otherwise why would Power Girl and Huntress not recognize it?

[crabby_lioness]

Sounds like theirs has been "repurposed".

[sailorlibra]

There is an Eiffel Tower in DCU main universe. That's the one shown in the panel. Sounds like Kara and Hel are a little confused by it, because something happened to the Earth 2 Eiffel Tower.

[crinos]

Ah, I see, so they came over from Earth 2 (I suppose, where else would they come from?) to Earth one, and in Earth two there's no Eiffel Tower cause Darkseid turned it into a control tower or something.

That sound about right?

[sailorlibra]

Yeah, that's generally about it.

[sailorlibra]

This title isn't perfect, but it has a lot of adorable moments and I really love that there's a whole title dedicated to two awesome ladies being awesome buddies and saving the bad guys together.

[aeka]

Agreed. I could definitely do without the cliche dialogue and the gender stereotyping (i.e., Kara and Helena talk like valley girls in this issue), but I do think having a book fronted by two awesome females who care very much for each other is pretty damn sweet. ♥

[thormonger]

I love Maguire's renderings of facial expressions.

[lascoden]

There's also the part right before this: Helena comforting Kara, on the beach, at night, in their underwear.

[aeka]

Those were bathing suits. >.>

[lascoden]

They were kinda both, I think. It was what they were wearing under their costumes.

[aeka]

I can't say I've ever seen one-piece underwear used by modern women, and given that they're both on a beach, having a bathing suit makes more sense. Also, it was clear Helena did some shopping as evidenced by the presence of a shopping bag on both this and issue #1.

[lascoden]

Well, I know jack about clothing (if you couldn't tell by now). I always assumed that superheroes wore some sort of one-piece things under their costumes, either suits like that or briefs. I know I saw that somewhere. Plus, I thought it would be odd that they'd wear swimsuits while seemingly using a fire for warmth.

[aeka]

From what I saw of the issue, Kara was unsuccessfully trying to burn her Supergirl costume. :/

[lascoden]

Yeah, right after they burned the Robin costume. Wonder what happened to it?

Also: Found the line about her body "not working the same way" sort of ominous. Maybe she'll start exhibiting new powers, like Supergirl Kara.

[aeka]

I guess we'll find out in upcoming issues. Chances are Main DCU Kryptonite wouldn't affect Kara-L again in this reboot likein the previous one. :P

[bruinsfan]

Have they established different types of Kryptonite between the different 52 parallel Earths? The previous Kara (and Kal-L, and Earth Prime Superboy) came from a whole different multiverse.

[halloweenjack]

Dunno about that, but there's some precedent; when the immediately post-Crisis (i.e. Byrne's) Superman meets pre-Crisis Kryptonians--Superboy, Krypto, and the three Phantom Zone criminals--they're much more powerful than he is, but their kryptonite can't hurt him, which he uses when he executes the genocidal Phantom Zone criminals with it.

[wizardru]

My only reaction to this?


I'll be in my bunk.

[kraesil]

*Cackles*

Dis gunna be interesting..

[liara_shadowsong]

Issue 2 is out? Okay, time for a trip to the comic shop. This looks awesome.

[maxisanacorn]
