I was uneasy at the beginning of The Brave and The Bold #2. Supergirl resembles the Supergirl of the Legion of Superheros series, that I am not reading. Then, into the story the writer, Mark Waid, makes Supergirl out to be a flirty 17 year old “valley girl”. I was disappointed. Mark Waid is an overall good writer, I was actually suprise that he had made her this way. I’m not quite sure what Mark Waid was thinking.Â
The story got better, when Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, finally set her straight and said there would be no romance, on the account of the “S” on her chest. It was then that the interest in the story returned and not the droning of a 17 year old little girl going after the Green Lantern.Â
Maybe Waid was trying to bring in humor or make the book sexier…but it didn’t work. George Perez did the penciling, and I wasn’t impressed with his visualization of Supergirl either. I just didn’t picture the Supergirl of the Supergirl titles…which should be the standard for drawing other rendering of Supergirl in other books. That is the hard part the art itself was good, but the rendering of the Supergirl character was not what I expected.

I kind of agree with you. The Supergirl depicted in the Legion book is fog-headed, unsure, and doesn’t have an explaination as to how she got 1,000 years into the future or what purpose she serves by being there.I didn’t read the books with Green Lantern, but thanks for the heads-up.
