Let us give thanks to the Shower Curtain God for this glorious day.

Here's a review I like.
I don't agree with it (I agree about the expressions bit), but I do understand this person's point of view...

Many fans of the original pre-Crisis Supergirl cheered when DC Comics and scribe Jeph Loeb announced he was 'bringing Kara Zor-El back' in the pages of SUPERMAN/BATMAN. But here in this TPB, which contains the first five issues of the current SUPERGIRL run (plus an additional one-shot story taken from SUPERMAN/BATMAN), someone should have warned, "Be very careful what you wish for." Because it soon becomes clear that Loeb has pulled a typical 'bait and switch' on nostalgic fandom.

The vapid blonde tart depicted here may use the name "Kara Zor-El" and possess the usual Kryptonian abilities, but that's pretty much the ONLY elements this new version of SG has in common with her pre-Crisis counterpart. And instead of setting up a 'new' character within her given DCU environment for the length of this story arc, Loeb treats us instead to Kara's pointless fisticuffs with almost every DCU Super-team she runs into. If the point of this tiresome exercise was to explore Supergirl's idea of "power" in regards to herself and her earthly environs, then Loeb utterly fails in this regard, as he pulls another 'bait and switch' on Kara's backstory in the obviously rushed last chapter.

Also, to make matters worse, artist Ian Churchill only possesses about three generic facial expressions for Supergirl and the supporting cast, and instead focuses on lurid illustrations of SG's bizarre elongated torso and too-short skirt for socially-repressed fanboys. While this may be all-too-typical of Churchill's Image-derived (by way of Rob Liefeld) style, the art overall seems pretty out of place for depicting a archetypal teenaged superheroine who's often cited as a role model for girls.


All in all, Supergirl fans would be far better off seeking one of her DC Archives collections of the Silver Age, because SUPERGIRL: POWER looks and reads more like it was ironically named after Jeph Loeb's Hollywood-sized ego.

There's a big thunder storm going on.  I suppose I should shut off the computer in case the power goes out or surges or something. 

But then I'd be bored

As I try to determine my options, I fear yet another disruptive gift horse is about to be thrust upon me.

So the floor drain in the laundry room is kind of getting plugged up.  We're doing washing, it's backing up, I got the plunger in there and get a really good hydraulic seal against the drain.  Plungin' away and kah-woosh!  Head-to-toe covered in that slimy drain water.

But I found three pennies in the dryer

The Doctor Who series finale was a little dissapointing at first but gets better with more viewings. Kinda the opposite of the other finales which just look worse.
