Supergirl 17 represents good comic book writing. It is interesting to note that the best writing I have found is currently in the minor female characters. This comic book is one of them. I am enjoying this arc and this long storyline that has been around since the begining of this volume.
I am disappointed, some, that DC didn’t do more with this story. I think a tie-in with the Superman comic book titles would have been a great idea. I think that since this storyline depends so much on Superman’s father, that it would make since to flesh this out in the Superman comic books. On the other hand, I’m not sure that DC readers would support using Superman as a supporting character to a minor book. I think it would be fun and out of the box.
