DC decided to reboot their comic book universe, so I decided to blog along with it!
Supergirl #1
Michael Green & Mike Johnson: writers
Mahmud Asrar: penciller
Dan Green with Asrar: inkers
First time I have ever, ever picked up a Supergirl book. And I liked it.
This may not be in my pull list next time, but it succeeds in setting a new status for Supergirl, a character who seems to be rebooted herself every 5 years. If this one sticks around, I will be surprised.
I gave this to a female to read since I was told that the writers made it specifically for a new female audience. Didn't hear a complaint, but didn't hear anything overly positive.
All in all - just ok.
This time around Supergirl is dropped from space and lands in Russian. Some Russian army guys in huge metal fight suits come out and try to get her to surrender, but Supergirl can only speak Kryptonian. It does have the drop an alien girl in the middle of nowhere feel to it.
I don't know. I'm just not overly impressed, but I'm not under impressed. Just OK.
This brings my total to 3 Superman related titles that I've bought this month. This reboot thing is making me try stuff I wouldn't normally get, and this is honestly the first title that I've read that hasn't brought a thrill to me in some fashion or another.
Words: 6/10
Pictures: 6/10
Recommend: Meh. Just meh. Maybe to have around if people need to be vaguely entertained.
Buy Next Issue: Just to see how this cliffhanger resolves, but that's about it.

I agree with your Supergirl assessment. It was a quick read, which was nice, but I didn't see the WOW factor that I was hoping for. You described it to me as a comic book that was supposed to get girls immediately interested in comics, and well, I still MUCH prefer The Walking Dead. I would, however, read another issue to see where they take it.
