Blonde leading the Blind
SUMMARY
The book opens with Kara leading a blind Superman to where she has been holding up. On the way there the two are attacked by an alien. Superman fights it, but much to Karas surprise, he refuses to kill it. When Kara finds an opening however, she takes it upon herself to kill the alien.
As they reach the hideout and the remaining few citizens of Argo city, Kara tells Superman the history of the city, and how the Aliens came to be there. Obviously disappointed, that a man with the power to help, refuses to do what it will take to win. Conveniently, the Aliens wait for Kara to finish her story before they attack. Yet attack they do.
At Lexcorps satelite the ship Superman sent last issue finally arrived. They notice that one of the men has a hole in their chest. As they are trying to figure out why, the remaining two men convulse as baby aliens burst through their chests. They rush away, and the crew chase after them, unknowingly leaving Lois to fight off a full adult sized Alien on her own.
As the book closes we realize that the battle with the Aliens and the citizens of Argo did not go well, as we see Kara And Superman are captured and cocooned, and about to be pounced on by facehuggers.
COVER
This cover does not make sense to me. I know the object here was to make it look like Superman and Kara were surrounded, but the perspective does not seem right to me.It looks as if the heroes are in front of the Aliens reacting to something off screen.
INTERIORS
Thankfully the interiors have held up from the first issue. While I think a grittier look would have served this issue a bit more, It ended up doing the trick.
STORY
This issue is a pretty good about building tension, and by the end of the story, you will absolutely want to continue this story in the 3rd issue. Admittedly, I enjoyed last issue a touch better. However, the strongest element to this story was the dialogue. The exposition Kara gives Supes is just intriguing.
