Supergirl #26

Issue #4 of the Puckett/Johnson era and we start to see a little character development for Kara. It almost seems as if writer Kelley Puckett missed out on the 20+ previous issues of "Supergirl". The Supergirl in this issue acts a bit like she just stepped off of the boat - or floated up from the ocean floor. Puckett has her almost looking down her nose at humans with disparaging comments about STAR Labs and the frailty of humans. Puckett is still relying more on the visuals to tell the story vice providing dialogue and that makes for a fast read. Artist Drew Johnson is assisted on pencils by Lee Ferguson and it shows. While previous issues have looked pretty polished, the art here looks rushed and sketchy.

So, the countdown has begun. I have given Puckett five issues so far and I haven't been impressed. He's got a few more issues before I drop the title.

Supergirl #25

Once again, "Supergirl" clocks in as the fastest read of the month. The pictures are awfully pretty and I wonder if writer Kelley Puckett is so in awe of Drew Johnson & Lee Ferguson's art that he feels there is no need for further explanation. This issue has more dialog than the previous issues, but not by much. I'm just sure what Puckett is going for here.

We are three issues into Puckett and Johnson's run on "Supergirl" and I'm not impressed. For $2.99/issue I'd like quite a bit more story to go along with the art.

Supergirl #24

Huh?

The confusing story from last issue continues here and I'm just not getting it. I had high hopes for Kelley Puckett's run but these first two issues have fallen flat. This issue was pretty to look at but didn't have much else to offer.

Someone, anyone, step up and make Supergirl a good read.
