I wish the comic within were even remotely so carefree, though there are some very good moments of Krypto "dogging" hard, and that's always nice to see.
I think Krypto may be swaying me over to the idea of dogs. I haven't been a fan for a long time, but they just seem so friendly, you know?
There's been a lot of playing with Kara's Kryptonian side of late, some acknowledgment that she would have to present qualities that came from the culture within which she was raised. It's inevitable, and happens to all of us. I teach in my Communications class the idea that we are prone to fall into the idea that the culture within which we're raised is the "correct" one, and all others are somehow less than. It's not the case, of course, but it's also sometimes hard to overcome. Kara has this problem, I think. She's still sweet, but she assumes that her status as Supergirl will grant her special privilege with the Green Lanterns. Instead they treat her like any other alien with a giant axe invading their central archive. Which is what she is. I wonder if this is some of the vaunted Kryptonian arrogance that Rogol Zaar yelled about in Man of Steel? And just how problematic is it?
The other cool thing this issue did is it seemed like we're going to get answers about Rogol Zaar, and the Circle, much sooner than I anticipated. That's kind of great. If the threat is of a truly great magnitude, it can really increase the drama of the subsequent issues. If the threat is of magnitude. Let's wait and see...
More to come...
