Summary

This volume is issue #2 of the monthly Supergirl series DC launched in 2005 (released September 21, 2005), continuing the second chapter of the "Power" storyline written by Jeph Loeb and drawn by Ian Churchill. The plot picks up directly from the previous issue: Kara Zor-El and Superboy clash high above the Kent farm and break off after trading blows; then Cyborg and Beast Boy arrive and attack Superboy, while Wonder Girl and Raven confront Supergirl head-on. After a brief skirmish Supergirl offers to leave, but Superboy instead takes her side. The story's tail turns to Luthor, who is adjusting to his kryptonite gauntlet, sowing seeds for later conflict. The issue runs 44 pages, with a 22-page main story; the cover drawn by Michael Turner is one of the two direct-market variants for this issue. As volume 2 of the series, it suits readers who want to trace the early appearances of the modern Kara Zor-El and the Teen Titans crossover plot.

Editor's review

这一册处在一个颇有看点的节点上:2005 年 DC 重新启用卡拉·佐-艾尔这一角色,《Supergirl》月刊正是她重新拿到独立连载的舞台。洛布擅长写群像与少年英雄之间的摩擦,本册把超级少女扔进少年泰坦的地盘,让她一人对上一整支队伍,既展示力量,也交代她在新环境里“不被信任”的处境。伊恩·丘吉尔的画面线条硬朗、动作感强,配合 Michael Turner 的封面,是那个年代 DC 主流商业漫画的典型面貌。对于正在梳理“重生前”DC 宇宙时间线、或想弄清超级少女与超级男孩关系脉络的读者,这一期是绕不开的拼图。需要提醒的是,它属于单期连载,并非完整故事,最好与前后期连读。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 追读 2000 年代 DC 主线、想补齐超级少女登场脉络的读者
  • 喜欢少年泰坦群像与英雄之间冲突戏的漫画迷
  • 对卡拉·佐-艾尔这一角色早期版本感兴趣的老读者
  • 收藏 DC 单期漫画、看重封面画师作品的藏家

Not a good fit for

  • 期待一部独立完整长篇故事的入门读者
  • 只看过影视剧、对漫画连载编号体系不熟悉的人
  • 偏好现代画风与近年重启设定的读者

Reading tips

  1. 建议先读第 1 期,本期紧接着“Power”故事线展开,单独读会缺少前情。
  2. 阅读时注意页末转向卢瑟的短镜头,它是后续氪石相关情节的线索。
  3. 可对照后来《超人/蝙蝠侠:女超人》中文版,比较同一角色不同阶段的塑造。
