Out of the Past 4

Great story, love it.

This volume does a really good job of building off of what was set up in previous volumes of Supergirl and Action Comics vol. 1.

I read/collected comics for over close to if not more than 30 years. Supergirl was always at the top of my reading/collecting list. When the powers that be killed Supergirl off during COIE (Crisis on Infinite Earths) I was furious well upset anyway but I could have lived with it but. But DC continued to make changes I didn't like, so not only did I stop collecting I stopped reading on a regular bases. I spent 30 plus years pretty much boycotting comics. I am now trying to catch up. The best way to do that or so thought is through collected editions. Do to the cross over between characters and there stores while they are good reads they leave a lot out. So while this was not bad it is hard to follow.

Great book and fantastic series overall! I love the art in this book and the story as well. Great buy, no disappointment

The main story is great but I wish that this book wouldn't skip around in the story near the end of the book.

Again, great shape.

Art: very good.Story: not.

I am more and more disappointed with every volume of the new 52 supervisor comics.The first volume was terrific and started out well, but recent volumes are so disjointed that you can't read the volumes to understand what is happening. cross overs are cool, but Supergirl seems like it is now a massive cross over with Superman and Superboy.There is no character advancement, or interest in developing her relationships with others.I would like to see a return to focus on supergirl and her story. right now it seems that she is just a piece of Superman's story.

I hope you won't have to read it.

La même intrigue (et surtout le même déroulé) que dans les 3 premiers volumes. Un peu lassant Mais sympathique. Belle qualité globale.

The one advantage of taking up a story line at its re-launch is you don't have to worry about if you need to invest in a shelf's worth of other volumes to get the full flavour of the volume you are reading. The new Kara-El (Supergirl) Saga promised much with Supergirl Volume 1: The Last Daughter of Krypton TP (Supergirl (DC Comics)) and the still the pace has not slackened in this volume.Ever since Kara-El has arrived on Earth she has been shot at, experimented on, hit by both bad people and good characters, and been betrayed. Small wonder then she has an attitude and a short fuse.This volume takes up from Supergirl Volume 3: Sanctuary TP (The New 52) (Supergirl (DC Comics)), poisoned by Kryptonite and tired of the what Earth has to offer Kara-El is fleeing on a very advanced vehicle, to where...she's not too sure, only to encounter a place known as I'noxia. This is not so much a world as a creation, recording and saving parts of doomed civilisations. From the onset it is made known to the reader there are schemes a'foot.Trying to avoid spoilers the plot is a mutli-layered one, involving a battle for possession of Supergirl, by a cyborg version of Superman, Brainiac and I'noxia itself, all interwoven with a another of those relevant back-story concerning Kara-El's family in the time surrounding the destruction of Krypton. The struggle lurches one way and another with alliances and rebellions all packed into the volume with no space wasted either in narrative or artwork.The portrayal as Kara-El still desperately trying to find some stability is poignantly portrayed, and the artwork either displaying emotions or action is flawless.Although still cast as, and speaking in much the teenage manner the character is developing into a fiery, tough and often very fearsome individual as she deals with more deceit, half-truths and illusions.There is a very good twist in this one, but I am not saying any more about it. You might see it coming. Maybe not.This tale covers issues #21-25 of Supergirl, but as with 'Sanctuary' DC slip in events from another arc; this one being Superman: Krypton Returns (the New 52) and involves Superman, Superboy and Supergirl; the volume is due to be released in January (I think), so these two tales are tasters. The artwork is very good; for want of a better phrase `the excerpts' - Superman #25 & Action Comics #23.1 are entertaining, though not having sight of the full take it's difficult to judge. An `He'l' is back; there's time-travel and visits to Krypton, also separate missions for various heroes. If this is anything to judge then Supergirl is truly turning out to be a Warrior and no mistake. The arc shows promise (even if one of the lesser characters look as if he's cosplaying Marvel's Darken). It has to be said though both DC and Marvel seem to be going through a trend of luring readers into buying separate volumes containing the same issue(s) of the monthly mags and thus having us part with cash twice over. Not quite `playing the game' there is it?Anyway, if you have been following the re-launch this volume is recommended for the continuity and breadth of its main story line.One PS, has to be said not just for this hero but other female characters; DC, please get the girl a pair of trousers; I wouldn't let my granddaughter run around dressed like that fighting villains and suchwhich- the younger male readers will just have to use their imaginations.

スーパーガール #21-25スーパーマン #25アクションコミックス #23.1を収録。Vol.4からライターとアーティストが交代。ストーリーの舞台はVol.3までの地球から一転して宇宙ものになります。本書のメインではサイボーグ・スーパーマンとの対決が描かれています。（その正体はブレイニァックに改造された●●●●●）宇宙からの謎の声を聞いてたどり着いた惑星I'NOXIA（イ・ノクシア？）そこでサイボーグ・スーパーマンと出会うが彼から「お前の身体が欲しい」と言われ、そこからバトルに。という展開。また、●●●●●がブレイニァックによってサイボーグ・スーパーマンに改造される話を描いた短編も収録されています。本書のラスト2話はスーパーマン系のクロスオーバー『クリプトン・リターンズ』全4話中の後半2話を収録。スーパーマン、スーパーガール、スーパーボーイがそれぞれ別時間のクリプトンにタイムスリップしてヘルを止めるという話。『ヘル・オン・アース』の続きですが短いクロスオーバーのため、前半2話を知らなくてもなんとなくストーリーは分かります（自分も前半2話は未読）。また、スーパーガール #0(Vol.2に収録)でカラの家にスーパーボーイが現れた謎も分かります。個人的にはVol.3までのマームド・アスラーのアートがスーパーガールにとてもマッチしていたため、本書のアートを最初見たときは正直「微妙」と思ったけど、本書のアーティストもスーパーガールをけっこう魅力的に描いていて、これはこれでありかと思います。また『クリプトン・リターンズ』のアートもそれぞれ別の人が描いています（最終話はケネス・ロカフォートの美麗アート！）。スーパーガールのファンなら安定して楽しめるかと思います。

As described in the advert and arrived in plenty of time.
