I think the thing that bothers me most about the whole Supergirl thing is the inconsistency. So, thanks for pointing that out. Even OYL, in the "Up, Up, and Away" story in the Superman books, Kara was somebody who could be counted on and who seemed to enjoy being a hero. But, at the same time, in her own book, she was enjoying the Britney lifestyle. Not to mention the inconsistency of character in Waid's Legion book (but, I can accept this one because she's in the future and we don't know what's going on -- plus, I like this Supergirl the best).

I sometimes wonder if I would swap Joe Kelly or Rucka the one issue wonder for Bob Kanigher ("Supergirl is a romance comic with capes and wooden dialogue") or Paul Kupperberg ("Supergirl's rogue's gallery is almost as cool as the Red Bee's") Well what can I say? I'm a Kara apologist, I've survived Win Mortimer with Vinnie Colletta's inks and Don Heck's "never missed a deadline" pencils...I've soldiered thru Supergirl the transexual glopdroid and PAD's pseudomystical rubbish. And I'll get thru this... Good character, bad writing seems to be the meta-theme that unites the bronze age Supergirl with her current incarnation.
