You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Jun 16, 2021Ruthye is a compelling character, but King knows full well that the central appeal of the story is the title character. His characterization of her is a great deal of fun. Any series that opens with a drunken Kryptonian on her 21st birthday is going in the right direction right away. When the emotional hammer hits at chapter's end, its all too apparent the King knows exactly what hes doing with this one. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - Gonzalo M
Jun 15, 2021Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow was absolutely my most anticipated comic of the year. Following the creative team's Twitter hype has proved true! This story is a refreshing blend of classic superhero trope with sword and sorcery themes. The combination of those two genres applied to a character like Supergirl put her in a situation that neither she nor the reader has ever experienced. I am excited to read more and see how King writes another modern classic. Read Full Review

Jun 16, 2021Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #1 is an interesting comic. It'd be fine as a miniseries on top of an ongoing. It'd be fine as an arc in an ongoing. But, as the first issue to establish the character, it kind of fails. Supergirl comes off as an ass here. She's not a hero I want to be around but instead a female Guy Gardner. There's little super in this Supergirl unless the creators were going for super-asshole. Read Full Review

This is basically True Grit in comic form. Supergirl is Jeff Bridges/John Wayne. Not the most original start to a tale of revenge but classic and fun no doubt. I feel its more a 7.5/8 out of 10 for me, but I gotta rate it a 10 because of all the irrational haters who rate Kings comics 1 and have literally nothing interesting to say in their reviews. Def wanna see where this one is going, yet another great comic from the King.

Worst 21st birthday ever! So, first thing first, Tom King uses Kathye for the narrative voice of this story, which is okay. It's describing Supergirl from an alien perspective which can be interesting. She lost her father and was looking for a warrior to Avenger him, little girl would not take a no for an answer. She's well-spoken and polite. Out of all her siblings, she's the only that had the guts to do something about it, which speaks volumes of her. Speaking of Supergirl, she goes to a foreign world under a red sun so she can be vulnerable enough to get drunk on her 21st birthday. I'm not sure if I ever saw Supergirl doing something like that, especially all by herself; no friends (super or not) but here we are so let's roll with it. Drunken Supergirl is pretty badass, she gave a beating to some misogynist bounty hunter at the bar and then fought him off and Krem (the knight's agent who killed Kathye's father) with 3 arrows on her chest, after they attacked Krypto but still. Poor Krypto by the way, he got hit with an arrow just for being a good boy. Art and colors are beautiful, not just the characters but the world built in just one issue looks amazing. The skies, the homes, the weapons, etc. more

It's one of Tom King's best first issues! Kara doesn't seem out of character here, King finds a nice balance of her shedding her teenage years and coming into adulthood as many people have. Bilquis Evely is stellar as always. One of the best artists of our generation.

My first review for Comic Book Roundup ... how exciting! A straightforward yet captivating story that left me wanting more. This iteration of Supergirl seems to be alarming a few readers however this is the first issue, we need to give Tom King time to delve into the series. There may be an explanation for Karas unusual behaviour. The medieval styled language makes for good comedy and is an interesting contrast to the superhero/sci-fi elements of Supergirl. New character Ruthye is very endearing through her naivety and youth; she has a goal and she will stop at nothing until she succeeds. Bilquis Evely is brilliant when it comes to capturing the emotions of her characters; it’s all in the eyes. I’m looking forward to the next issue! PS. Do not let these terribly low scores dishearten you from purchasing a copy (disappointed by all these fake accounts ruining the integrity of this site.) more

Before becoming a Superwoman, Kara awkwardly enters adulthood. I like how Tom King writes Kara like a legendary hero in a similar manner to Red Sonja. She's found a world to thrive on and isn't held back by her past here. But she doesn't quite understand what it means to be an adult yet; does anybody who turns 18 or 21 feel any different than they do as teenagers? So when a child asks for her help after everything, Kara's journey truly begins.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, by Tom King and Bilquis Evely (DC) I picked this issue up at a local comic shop just after the run received a 2022 Eisner nomination for “Best Limited Seriesâ€. The TPB isn’t due out until 7/25/2022. I’ve had some “ups and downs†with writer Tom King but respect his ceiling is pretty high when he’s on his game (e.g. “Mister Miracleâ€). I wasn’t familiar with Artist (Bilquis Evely) but thought the art was very appealing throughout. The plot was pretty simple/straightforward. The characters and motivation were good (not necessarily great). I definitely enjoyed the first issue well enough to seek out the rest and give it a real go.

Nice start with intriguing parts. Not sure why Supergirl is out getting trashed and want to see the background to justify that. The alien story girl and fantasy elements are great. Bilquis Evely is magnificent as an artist. Just beautiful especially the colors from Matheus Lopes. Let's see what King does here.

I'm reading this through the deluxe edition because I want to get an idea on what the upcoming Supergirl movie will be like. Not being a fan of Tom King on how he has been handling WW and Trinity so far this is tolerable compared to those atrocious depictions. Nonetheless I can;t help but feel like Kara is out of character and written like a trashy whore you would meet at 3AM in a dark part of the city. I understand it is her birthday and she goes to planets with weaker suns so she can feel the affectsof getting drunk but frankly this feels like I am reading e beginning of some Deadpool knock off. Which urks me greatly because this is why I hated king's Trinity so much where he turned her into a wanna-be Deadpool. Now it's a very basic i ntroduction to this version of Kara and of course you can;t go without King's over-bloated narration which in this is done by Ruthye. Ruthye is seeking someone to kill a wretched killer named Krem who murdered her father in cold blood. She crosses Kara's path in a bar and the story goes from there. Krem steals Kara's ship and the ish ends with Supergirl stuck on this planet, Krypto has an arrow in his upper shoulder etc. This is very basic so far and feels like I am watching a storyboard for a movie. Now the nice part about the deluxe edition is the re-coloring really makes this a stand out, and the drawings are really nice. Each page feels like it flows beautifully from one to the next. I can see there might be some good development of Kara as you go through this series but so far so good. Lastly, Tom King has an introduction in the Deluxe Edition and I have to give him credit for being slightly aware that he is aragant and bragadocious and his story about his daughter was a nice touch. Yet this does not make me overlook his destruction of WW sorry. And as always everything is about him. I have read many introductions written by the greats from Stan Lee, Peter David, etc. They write about themselves in such a way that was entertaining and educating at the same time. Peter David would tell you in detail what inspired him to create a darker Aquaman and thoughout his preface didn't need to brag about his "career", he imparted his comic knowledge and love of the medium in a beneficial way toward the reader. Another example is how Stan Lee in his introduction to the Silver Surfer Omnibus made it very clear that comics were designed to transcend Hollywood movies, not be Hollywood movies. He wrote that beautiful intro back in 2007 in such a beautiful and honest way that I always refer back to it once in a while when talking about Stan Lee. Tom King however always has to remind you that he was in the CIA, served in war twice in his "misspent" youth. While in this intro he seems to attempt a stab at modesty, it fails again and comes more off like bragging points. I don't get a sense of a true love of the medium of comics like I always did from the past greats of our time. more

Why King always needs to make the life of the characters he write miserable? Or why he always want to make them murderous? :( Or other most important question, why DC still trying to make Kara's life miserable?? First with her last ongoing series in the last arc. Later Future Grim State, and now this. I was very hopeful for Kara future since good characterization of her in last Bendis run in Action Comics or in the new run of Phillip Kennedy Johnson where show morals and ideals of Supergirl. With True, Justice, compassion, diplomatic and everything who represents House of El and Supers. Poor Krypto, I hope he won't die. To be fair the characterization of Kara is faithful to the comics and her legacy in a good percentage of thi s issue, but in the last part everything is ruined. In any case I liked a lot King's works like Superman Up in the Sky, Mister Miracle, Sheriff of Babylon. But murderous Kara is not Kara :/... And I feel sad this company continue trying to give her a grim future, at the same time that looks like she will return to her heroics and optimystic roots (Action Comics). I hope the conclusion of this miniseries give her a happy ending with a bright future to her. I gave it a 7.5 because the awesome Bilquis artwork (I love it) and faithful heroics characterization of Kara in it, before the conclusion of this issue. Let's hope the final number of this miniseries give a happy and hopeful life and future to Kara. more

The artwork is top-notch, no problems there. The story is True Grit, and not as well executed as either of the movies, or the novel. I'm not sure why this is a Supergirl story at all, it would work better with Guy Gardner. Honestly, I'm scratching my head at Kara going to all that effort to go on a bender. Won't be continuing with this, so I guess it's moot anyway.

I was going to give it a 1 but I liked the art so I gave it a 2. Jesus, when will they stop letting Tom King ruin everything. Tom King lovers can hold their breath. I don't need you to try and tell me that I've never read a Tom King book. I've read every issue of every comic he's ever written, what can I say, I'm a glutton for punishment. I liked his early stuff but damn, he's gone downhill, hard. I don't know why it happened or when it happened but somewhere along the way of everyone kissing his a**, he got lazy or just thought he could do no wrong, I don't know. He tries to do that terrible thing that Bendis used to be good at but is awful at now, where they think they're writing people as they speak in real life. Ugh 🙄. That s tuff made a good portion of his Batman unreadable. Normally I could get through most of the issues but that stuff was terrible. All that "Bat, Cat" back and forth turd fest. Crap like that made Bendis' Legion run unreadable. Well, it was that and him believing he had to make every, single, character, on every page say something, ugh. That was supremely painful because the art was gorgeous in that book. That's usually the case with Tom King these days, the art is gorgeous but the dialogue is near painful to read. I don't want to rag on him too much because there are some things he has going that I enjoy here and there like Rorschach and Strange Adventures. I don't love them or anything but with a little tweaking they could be a lot better. They just need to get him and Jamie S Rich separated. I just feel like Rich let him do whatever he wants to do, consequences be damned. End Rant more

Art is a 9-10, but this isn't a Supergirl comic so I can't give anything else than a 1. I buy a comic with Supergirl on it, I expect Supergirl in it. It's like if I buy a pizza and get a fish dish. It might be well made fish dish, but I ordered pizza. This is not Kara, it's Rooster Cogburn wearing a Supergirl-Edgar-Suit.

ZorEl - Jun 15, 2021Does Kara Zor-El through her comic history strike anyone like the person who would sit and drink at a bar and pick fights? No. This story is a ripoff of True Grit, and instead of adapting the story to the character, Tom King just let the Rooster Cogburn character remain and put it in a Supergirl suit.
Æther - Jun 17, 2021Guys he saying Kara is taking after the character from True Grit John Wayne/Jeff bridges character. Anyways considering what a joke Kara is, yes she is a joke imo. This was a pretty awesome fusion for her.
Hislight - Jun 19, 2021Why would we want the same old Kara over and over...this was refreshing and fun...maybe you didnt like it but atleast it was something different. I am shocked by the hate for this issue
ZorEl - Jun 19, 2021It's about passion for the character. It's not surprising. If Batman would become the opposite of what he was or Superman in the main continuity would, this small upset would seem like a match compared to the hellfire that would rise. Have main continuity Superman under no influence of Kryptonite get shitfaced at a bar, start a fight and go out and puke and the outrage would be on the front page of magazines. This is Kara's fanbase saying no. Tell me you would say the same if this was Kal.
ZorEl - Jun 19, 2021It would never happen though. DC recalled a magazine for Kal just holding a beer once. DC:s double standard on how they treat Supergirl and Superman is appalling, but people who don't care much about the character never notice.
ZorEl - Jun 19, 2021That double standard does not only go for DC though. If Kal had been drinking and fighting and puking you can bet this would have been reflected in the reviewer scores for breaking character. When it comes to Kara though barely a handful of the "professional" reviewers weigh it in their score. Kudos to those who do. There should have been more of them.
Æther - Jun 20, 2021She didnt start a fight, she protected a girl who was attacked and robbed. Alcohol is not only bad people, its common for all types of people to celebrate with it. To have kara wait till she is 21 goes to show what a girlscout she actually is, and you can obviously tell... this is her first time. Im just fine with this being a depiction of 21 year old kara myself.

Wow! This was atrocious even by Tom King standards. It sounded like something Bendis would write, but I'm sure Tom thought he sounded highly intelligent, just as his fans love to think about themselves. Poor Supergirl, after the cringey tv show and the bad comics from the last years, now she has to go through this torture too. I wouldn't be surprised if she becomes a villain after this, it's King's shtick to stain all superheroes that he gets to write.

Believe me, it doesn't work, just for you I'll make sure to rate every book I read from Tom King. And if you continue to spam me because I don't like what you like, I will have to block you. I don't want to do it, believe me, I enjoy having conversions with people who have different opinions than my own but the "calling me out" thing did get on my nerves.
Merlyn - Jun 15, 2021And a dude who rated this crap with 10 surely can't "call me out" on anything. @JBL Reviews: I don't see you, however, calling him out on his rating. The rating so far is 5.5. I rated it with 1, he rated it with 10. We're both pretty far from how most see it, the math says we're both as far away just in opposite ways. But of course you don't have a problem with that, just with my rating. That surely proves you're not a King fanboy, no.
Merlyn - Jun 15, 2021Oh, and I WAS considering dropping the book after King's shitshow but just for you I'll make the sacrifice and read it through the end. Just so you understand that trying to shut me up forcefully won't work with me.
Mingthemerciless - Jun 15, 2021Tom King was literally pulled off Batman 15 issues short. Even the fan dead DC saw he was tanking the flagship title. I had zero interest in his consolation prize BatmanCatwoman which as I expected is the same standard of lazy garbage he did with Batman. He seems to fare a little better reader wise with second and third tier characters like mister miracle but I dont care. He succeeded in stopping from buying my favorite book for nearly 85 issues and his writing stinks on ice.
Mingthemerciless - Jun 15, 2021Yeah ok art is subjective but I don't even give King that leeway for what he did to batman.
Mingthemerciless - Jun 15, 2021I ll keep saying it...DC needs to lose King Bendis Tynion and Ridley as quickly as possible. Have you seen the manure Bendis is writing on JL?
Mingthemerciless - Jun 15, 2021Hey nonny nonny titwillow titwillow. I'm sure King has used that medieval hit for one of his deep and clever plot devices.
Batman Jones - Jun 15, 2021Anti-Zionism has nothing to do with Anti-Semitism. I know that the pro-Israel lobby, no matter what they do, like breaking the ceasefire today, likes to conflate the two, but they aren’t the same thing. As a Jewish person that wants to see peace and a Palestinian state, I resent that. I also resent being called names for liking a writer that you don’t like. That’s not just unnecessary, it’s crude and I don’t think it ought to have any place here.
Merlyn - Jun 16, 2021Sure, we're all buying that you're a Jewish person so you can spout out your anti-Semitic bullshit, yeah. Well, I resent you coming here to spout all that crap so if you don't mind, stop commenting on my reviews because honestly, I find your tactics pretty disgusting.
Batman Jones - Jun 16, 2021You’re telling me I’m pretending to be Jewish? Do you want me to quote the Torah section of my Bar Mitzvah at Temple Emanuel to you? My last name is Nadler. Look it up. And screw you for calling a practicing Jew an anti-Semite. You give Jewish people a bad name.
Batman Jones - Jun 16, 2021Zionism is not Judaism. Any Jew and any educated person should know the difference.
Merlyn - Jun 16, 2021Fine, you're Jewish, whatever. I'm still not buying the rest of your bullshit so if you would kindly stop spamming me, that would be great. Like I said to the guy before you, you don't like what I have to say, deal with it. I don't need to hear your complaints on and on, got it the first time. And still don't buy the whole "I'm actually anti-Zionist, not anti-Semite" but if gets you to shut up I'll pretend that I do.
TJMB3891 - Jun 16, 2021Spot on brother. Tom King is overhyped trash. I'm glad you made the Bendis comparison because I've caught him too many times doing that "This is how real people talk" schtick that Bendis tries to do but these days fails at terribly. He's not as bad as Bendis in this department but there were moments in his Batman run where he came REALLY close and yes folks, some people still take a chance on a new Tom King #1 even when they historically hate him.
TJMB3891 - Jun 16, 2021When will people stop acting like this guy shits gold? Does Batman started off decent and then was up and down but somewhere after War of Jokes & Riddles it took a freaking nosedive. It was so bad, he got booted off the book early. Why DC keep screwing Supergirl I'll never know. I actually liked that Mark Andreyko run a bit but they booted him off of that and gave it to...I don't even remember because it sucked. They do the same thing to Batgirl.
Merlyn - Jun 16, 2021I actually really, really liked his run up until #50. I though he brought a lot of very interesting ideas that Batman desperately needed at that time. That's what these people don't get, I don't "hate" Tom King, I'll praise him when he writes a good book, I'm not petty like that.
Merlyn - Jun 16, 2021But after the second half of his Batman run, after Heroes in Crisis, after Batman/Catwoman, after Strange Adventures I started to notice that no matter how badly he writes there are always going to be a lot of people who're going to praise him even when his writing is atrocious. And they're always rating his stupid shit with 10 like it's a masterpiece. It's a disgrace.
Merlyn - Jun 16, 2021If on the cover of this book it would be the name of, I don't know, say, Robert Venditti? No one would care about this and the rating would be very, very low. But since it's King let's all pretend this is Watchmen or something. And yeah, I also agree about Supergirl and Batgirl, DC continues to screw these characters by giving them only to bad writers. Which is a shame because along with Wonder Woman, they're the best female superheroes DC has.
Mingthemerciless - Jun 16, 2021Succinctly...there's plenty of leftist jews in the US that defend anti semites when they call others "Zionist bootlickers" because the smokescreen of "Zionism" gives cover to their desire to harm Jews and Isreal while the leftist jews can say "I'm one of the good jews dont come after me". We saw how successful that was in Germany in the 1930s.
Mingthemerciless - Jun 16, 2021Now onto something we should be anti towards. Tom Kings writing and continued presence at DC.
Mingthemerciless - Jun 16, 2021TJM dont sell Bendis short either...his writing is bargain basement trash. His run on superman produced a teenaged Jon Kent that no one likes. And his big bad Kobol...whatever U cant even be arsed to look him up...was relegated to the dying heap of faceless generic baddies faster than a wh@re drops her drawers.
Mingthemerciless - Jun 16, 2021And his effort on JL is shaping to be equally banal and forgettable.
Mingthemerciless - Jun 16, 2021Merlyn is far more patient with Tom King than he deserves. His run on Batman was lazy fractured edgelord trash that tried to febreeze with public domain literature and songs in lieu of...you know...actual writing. I'm sure Tom thinks...hey that's my style...but style requires a degree of talent and flair to pull off. King has neither.
Mingthemerciless - Jun 16, 2021Even the tone deaf DC finally admitted the obvious and pulled King off Batman 15 issues early. How bad do you need to be tanking a title for DC to do that. So DC threw him a bone and gave him BatnanCatwoman and dus he lift his game? Nope more "too clever for you" all over the place musings that go nowhere peppered with edgelord tripe.
Batman Jones - Jun 16, 2021Wow, Ming. What you wrote above is some pure anti-Semitism. The Internet is ugly, especially here..
Mingthemerciless - Jun 16, 2021Zdarsky has been on a bat centric book a more few months in an anthology no less and batfans like ne are screaming at DC to give him a shot at his own book.
Batman Jones - Jun 16, 2021You’re a bad Jew if you don’t unquestionably support everything that Israel does? That sort of thinking has more in common with the Weimar Republic than anything.
Batman Jones - Jun 16, 2021And lol at “leftists.†A clear majority of American Jews are Democrats.
Mingthemerciless - Jun 16, 2021What about Tynion you say? Peacemaker Punchline and Ghostfart or whatever....three totally crappy and poorly received creations of his while he rehashes city of bane with Joker war which was a rehash of the far superior Knightfall. And currently more fan fiction rehash as we speak.
Merlyn - Jun 16, 2021And where is the incompatibility between Democrats and leftists? And yes, a lot of Democrats are spreading hateful things about Israel, under the guise of "anti-Zionism". And why are we having this debate anyway? Yes, I defend Israel's right to exist, if that's what makes me a "Zionist bootlicker" then whatever, I'm that.
Mingthemerciless - Jun 16, 2021Count me in as another "Zionist bootlicker". We plenty of "anti Zionists" attacking every jew they encountered recently in NY and LA. Funny how they can tell a jew from a Zionist and know who to beat up.oergaos armbands for jews need come back? What say you Jonesy?
Mingthemerciless - Jun 16, 2021Abraham accords are a way forward. Economic success and prosperity eases the kinds of conditions used to gin up hatred of jews and Israel in the region. Forward thinking Arab states see that as well as a valuable ally against the mullahs. King Hussein of Jordan admitted that Gaza is kept poor and an open wound as a pretext to attack Israel.
Mingthemerciless - Jun 16, 2021Funny how lack of prosperity was used by a certain Austrian corporal to go after a few Jews in his neighborhood too. Zionism got thrown around a lot then too.
Mingthemerciless - Jun 16, 2021Anyway Merlym..out of respect to you I ll stick to comics for any further posts from me on this thread. Have I told you how much I think Tun Kings writng stinks?
dirtysexygeeky - Jun 17, 2021A 1/10 really? Were we reading the same comic? I’m interested to see what you’d rate a 10.
Merlyn - Jun 17, 2021I didn't rate any comic with 10 so far. Though maybe some HoX/PoX issues deserve it. I did rate some with 9.5, check my ratings if you're so interested in that. And yes, it's a 1, it's just awful. Also, for people who come here to comment on a review that "has nothing to say": WHY ARE YOU HERE COMMENTING? Do you need the attention or something? I don't comment on reviews that I think have nothing to say.
Æther - Jun 17, 2021Yo calm down bro, I just think your review lacks insight and sounds more like a poorly thoughtout emotional outburst.
Æther - Jun 17, 2021O and by the way Im not you... thank god. I do what I want, and I wanted to let you know your review sucks
Æther - Jun 17, 2021its like just my opinion man. You really so upset after posting a shit review publicity hahahahaha your bad bro
Mingthemerciless - Jun 17, 2021Do you get compelled to review reviews when they give a 10/10 as well or only the ones that are 1/10? Bro.
Æther - Jun 17, 2021If I can better understand you, it will only strengthen my own views. This is why I want to truly understand the mind of a hater. But if you cant properly express yourself it helps no one. Thus a challenge
Æther - Jun 17, 2021talking to likeminded individuals does very little for me so no I usually dont ever talk to someone that gives 6+ reviews to something I already like.
Mingthemerciless - Jun 17, 2021What about 10/10 reviews do they get under you skin the same way? Bro
Mingthemerciless - Jun 17, 2021If I reviewed your review if this review Is say you're a viscious troll with a small intellect. Bro
Mingthemerciless - Jun 17, 2021So to review your criteria on reviewing reviews...you never review a review over 6/10 only low score reviews trigger your fetal review instincts. Right? Bro
Merlyn - Jun 17, 2021AEther, you're getting blocked if you don't stop it right now. You've added nothing to this conversation, you've just spammed me and I don't like that. Stop it or I'm going to block you. I don't care about your crappy opinions, I'm not the one commenting on your review, you are. Just stop.
Merlyn - Jun 17, 2021If the next comment from you comes and is anything other than an apology for spamming, that's the second you're getting blocked.
Mingthemerciless - Jun 17, 2021Just offering your own criteria to clarify for me. Low scores trigger you high scores are "like minded" and dont affect you? Right? Bro
Merlyn - Jun 17, 2021Everyone here, including those who attacked me actually added something to this conversation, you're the only one who didn't and just tries to stir shit up. So yeah, I have no need for trolls around here.
Merlyn - Jun 17, 2021Ming, don't indulge him any more, please. He's really just trolling and he's adding comments here without saying anything.
Mingthemerciless - Jun 17, 2021He went to fling poo at the zoo visitors outside his enclosure. Right Aethet? Bro.
Merlyn - Jun 17, 2021No, I blocked him. I'll unblock him eventually, I always do that, even with shitty people who don't deserve it but for now he desperately needed a break.
Skyrotic - Jun 25, 2021Merlyn, your a fat idiot that needs to go outside more instead of being obssessed with a writer who doesn't know you exist. Maybe even talk to a breathing female for once instead of the corpses we all know you like to play with ;)
Merlyn - Jun 25, 2021Direct block. And I'm not even going to unblock you because it's not the first time you come out of nowhere with nothing but insults. Like in football, you get two yellow cards, it's a red.

How does DC let Tom King keep writing books? He, once again, shows that he is a horrible writer and should not be allowed to write anything. The art is slightly better than the writing, but definitely not good.
