Ratings and reviews

Well writen and interesting. It definitely kept me wanting to find out what happened next. Love the art from this period of super girl. If recommended to anyone who likes Superman comics and has little experience with Kara. I actually fine her stories to be more interesting and original than Superman of the same era.

Good read

Nice

About the author

Joe Kelly broke into the comics industry in 1995 as the first successful "graduate" of the STAN-HATTAN PROJECT, a writing workshop conducted as a joint venture between Marvel Comics and NYU's Department of Dramatic Writing. Joe's flair for dialogue and characterization captured the attention of Marvel editors, not to mention his snappy attire and icy blue eyes that pierce a man's soul with but a glance. Kelly's comics work includes DEADPOOL, JUSTICE LEAGUE ELITE, ACTION COMICS, STEAMPUNK and many other titles. His story "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice and The American Way?" inspired the Warner Bros. Home Video movie "Superman Vs. The Elite." He is a member of the group Man of Action, which created the hit animated TV series Ben 10.
