It’s a shame that Asrar didn’t do most of this issue, but Bill Reinhold did a good job of filling in, and his style is pretty similar to Asrar’s anyways, so it didn’t take you out of the story as much as other artistic mash-ups such as this week’s Incredible Hulk. This book continues to impress me with it’s deliberate pace and it’s unique approach to a superhero discovering their powers. Green and Johnson are taking it pretty slowly, but it works, I feel like I know this new Supergirl a lot more closely than most of the revamped characters. Simon Tycho is an interesting villain in some ways, I liked the way he dissed the US President, but he does feel a bit like a poor man’s Luthor. The Brain was a cool visual too.
