Supergirl #39

Every one of the Infected stories has had its own story so far, and this might be the best of them. Read Full Review

Rachael Stott delivers some awesome visuals in this issue. Everything looks great from the characters to the action and the issue ends with a beautiful, dark and dramatic shot of Supergirl that immediately makes me wants to see what happens next to the character. Read Full Review

It is incredibly chilling what happens. It is starting to look like Kara has lost all of her humanity. I am looking forward to seeing what happens from here. This is pretty damn exciting. Read Full Review

The multi-issue Wonder Woman crossover is proving to be the perfect approach to Supergirl-as-super-villain. Her brief encounter with Batman and Superman at the beginning of her current journey didnt have a strong enough emotional component to make much of an impression. Wonder Womans specific flavor of altruistic compassion makes for a very meaningful contrast against super-heroism gone wrong. Supergirl #39: Im the Bad Guy Part 3 is one of those rare instances where the weight of a superhero crossover is more or less equally shared between both heroes.  Read Full Review

Thoughtful, wrapped up in intense action, is exactly what people should get in their stories. Read Full Review

This is a fun, dramatic issue. There are increasing stakes and making Smallville the center of it all, especially after Superman revealed his secret identity to the world, in Superman #18 gives the story added weight. Read Full Review

With solicitations hinting that Supergirl is getting cancelled (again) after issue #42, I shouldnt be so hard on her, but I want this series to end. The Infected storyline has deflated and brought Supergirl down with it. It would have been better off if things just continued in the pages of Hell Arisen instead. For a series that came back with a good purpose, its lost its direction by being caught between two event stories while not capitalizing on either. Read Full Review

A great action packed issue. If superheroes fighting is your thing then this issue will hit all the right spots. However, if you've not been keeping up to date with Kara's story, maybe give this one a miss. Read Full Review

While this issue is a significant improvement on the previous issue, it still has some rather big mistakes. I assume that this comes from a relatively young creative team as I cannot see one of the big names in the industry making the same mistakes but they also shouldn't have gotten past the editor so there is plenty of blame to go around. At least, the main plot points of this issue make enough sense that the book still is able to pull the story forward and set up an exciting next issue. It's it good? No, it very much isn't but at least it's not completely incompetent like the previous one. Read Full Review

The idea of the Dark Supergirl story is an intriguing one, but as we get to Supergirl #39 it's just starting to feel a little old with each issue reiterating that nothing and no one can really get through to Kara in her infected state. Read Full Review

Let's just say that I'm not happy. Can't I get Supergirl talking about help, home and compassion for all? Being heroic and optimistic? Read Full Review

I hope after this madness Supergirl go with the Legion of Superheroes.

Seems I’m in the minority but I quite liked this issue. WW’s actions were as you would expect and if the earth was facing a rogue Kryptonian threat, why wouldn’t the government step in?

So forgettable that I don't remember it that clearly. It wasn't horrible.

There's a bigger story this comic tries to tell. It's not filler, despite what amount of Dragon Ball-esque action scenes may suggest. It' not the biggest, most complex plot, mind you, but I think it's still a step forward compared to last couple of issues, which really felt like they have nothing coherent to say. Long story short, the new, kinky, Kara, believes to be stronger than she ever was, so much so, she could become a new, real heroine who needs no help. Meanwhile, Wonder Woman doen't try to beat the living shit out of her, but genuinely help her, be there for her, like friends should do. Simple, but effective, and for this story arc, it works, albeit there's room for improvement, plenty of it, in fact. Story kinda derails when gov ernment robots randomly show up, and mayhem begins. There's tons of fighting here, but sadly not one panel actually stands out and is truly memorable. It's pretty generic exhchange of punches and kicks, not really accomplishing anything. Where does this story go? I have no clue, but I think Supergirl's path has been too dependant on other ongoing arcs, not allowing her to craft her own path. First Rogol Zaar came, and Andreyko took her for a cosmic trip, which started really great, just to become pretty boring later on. And now there's Batman Who Laughs' plan that turned her series 180 degrees once more. I hope the run improves as it goes, because this issue, despite having some good, character developing/bonding moments, is pretty mediocre, if you ask me. Same goes to other Infected heroes, by the way, which is a pretty huge problem. more

Oh my god I can’t unsee the horrifying multijoints of Krypto’s front legs when he flies away, oh god.

This isn't a Supergirl comic. If it had been a Wonder Woman title, it would have made at least a little sense. It still wouldn't have been a good comic. Also, we have seen this before a dozen times. Supergirl doesn't get worse than this.
