    Review: Supergirl #54

     

    The Story

    Bizarro Girl continues to wreck havoc upon downtown Metropolis and she's not  only endangering regular citizens but also close friends of Super-Girl. Meanwhile Kara is still dealing with the loss of her family and her people, and is sincerely considering leaving the life of super-heroism for a normal life as Linda Lang.
       

    The Good

    This title is really heading in a interesting direction, mainly in part to Sterling Gates incredibly strong writing and a very intuitive art team. This issue in particular however is a perfect example of foreshadowed things to come for this title during this arc. From the solid dialogue to a story with just the right balance of action, humor, and suspense. This issue has a lot going for it, from heroics by Jimmy Olsen too new and old character appearances, that are  only sure to cause problems and challenges down the line for Super-Girl. Plus, a last page cliff hanger that got me super-duper excited for the next issue. 
     

    The Bad

    There really isn't much in terms of bad in this issue considering all the things it successfully covers. Aside from the   advertisements consistently coming at horrible times and a small issue with cohesion this issue really delivers.    
     

    The Verdict: 4/5

     The writing, art, and story are always consistently strong on this current run and especially this issue in particular. It's just  a flat-out, entertaining read that you will surely get lost in, in a good way. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for just a fun read, and not just for the Super-Girl fans but if you plan on picking this title up this issue also makes a great jumping on for new readers.

      Bizzaro girl meets Supergirl 0

      Supergirl #54 - Looking Glass by haydenclaireheroes on July 27, 2010

      Cover The cover is good; however, it is really plain so it is something that is easily missed at the comic book store. Story A boy is lost in an explosion and Jimmy Olsen on a motorcycle rushes to save the kid. The kid then thinks he is cool. Jimmy goes to the middle of the commotion and Bizzaro girl comes out and captures Jimmy. Kara has a feeling that something is wrong but, does not want to deal with it. Jimmy’s pictures were sent to the Daily Planet automatically and it took a picture of Biz...

      It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Bizarro Supergirl 0

      Supergirl #54 - Looking Glass by duo_forbidden on July 24, 2010

       Pros:    I enjoyed the first couple of pages with Jimmy Olsen as although he doesn't have powers, that doesn't stop him from trying to save someone along with doing his job.   It doesn't take long for Kara to suit up again, as I thought she would maybe in the next issue but, since she knows who causing mayhem in Metropolis, it should me appropriate for her to at least stop her bizarro self.Last issue, I did complain about who was the big reveal of Bizarro Supergirl, but luckily in this issue, I...
