I went for Supergirl and It Girl. I haven't really read either before, and since I like to support comics with women in them, and I've recently dropped Fearless Defenders and Wonder Woman for quality reasons, I thought these would be good choices to possibly replace them.

I've only ever read a few Supergirl comics ever. I haven't really heard much good stuff about the current Supergirl series, but I read the preview pages a few days ago and thought they were pretty well written actually. And I'm a fan of Power Girl. It was a pretty decent issue. I enjoyed the dialog. So I may be up for another issue next month.

I haven't read any of Allred's old It Girl/Madman/Atomics stuff, but everything I've heard about it has been very positive. And I like his art. So I went ahead and got It Girl without really looking at it inside in depth. Unfortunately I found out when I got home that Allred doesn't write or draw it. Oh well, my mistake. It was OK, nothing special. Still, I"m glad I tried it.

So, one for one, not bad. I'm glad I did it.

Does Boba Fett have any superhuman attributes by way of his Mandalorian armor? Like super strength?

No, no superhuman stats. You can check out his basic equipment here (aaaaallllllll the way down).

One of the things that ticked me off the most about Siege was when streetlevelers were killing (unnamed) Asgardian gods with standard weapons.

I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who collect newspaper strips on their own. People collect much crazier stuff than that.

I've got a few books of reprinted newspaper strips. One of all-early 20th century strips of various kinds, another of the first few years of the Batman newspaper strip. Maybe a couple others. Plus obviously stuff like Doonesbury and Charlie Brown and Bloom County and whatnot.

What does eu stand for? And can someone explain to me what all Terry's suit can do? I know it can fly and that's about it.

When it comes to Star Wars, EU means "expanded universe." It means using all the canon appearances of the character, such as novels, tv shows, and comic books, in addition to the movies. Usually when you use a Star Wars character in a battle, you specify whether the character is movies-only or EU. Since the EU includes way more feats, and often much more impressive feats, than in the movies, the EU versions of the characters are generally considered to be much tougher.

Terry's suit includes the powers of flight, invisibility, seeing outside the visual spectrum, enhanced strength and agility, fairly high durability, an electric charge, and a bunch of trick batarangs and whatnot.

I think I could get into this. But I have to say that the main actors look cheesy. Not very hard-core super-agent-y. Not Nick Fury-y. More generic and vanilla. But with good writing and good use of superheroes, the casting can be ignored.

Yeah, I'll go for this. I've been trying to expand my books for the past 6 months or so, so why not.

I haven't read this at all, I guess purely out of a desire to limit the number of comics I buy, but it did always look kind of interesting. It's one of the few that I'd be interested in getting as a trade.
