Supergirl #5 (spoilers)

[drice6900]

So, I was kinda disappointed by this wrap-up issue. I though Loeb went for the cliche ending instead of something new/inventive. I saw the WW golden lasso coming half-way through the book

 

Anyway, I thought the art was really great, but the story was very rushed - probably because Loeb had to make issue #5 the end of the arc instead of #6. Too bad, because I had liked where he was taking things up to this issue.

Which cover did you pick up? They look pretty much the same to me. I didn't realise there were two different covers till i got home and saw them on eBay.

 

BTW who takes over the story and art now?

They are basically the same exact cover, only Turner and Churchill each drew only one of the characters (Supergirl or Dark Supergirl) on each cover.

I looked at those covers for awhile and knew they were different. Took me a bit to realize that they swapped artist renditions for each cover. I hate saying it, but it was a REALLY lame variant cover idea (or not well executed). Only one cover for me.

I got both covers.

I think Ian Churchill is going to continue his penciling duties under Rucka's writing. Ed Benes is just filling in for an issue?

Thanks. Red cover is better i think.

[Hobgoblin]

I actually think I like Churchill's Supergirl better than Turner's.

[drice6900]

I really don't see that much difference

[followtheleader]

I like the blue cover a bit better.

 

Don't care for the "red" Supergirl facial expression.

 

Also, it goes back to the teenage girl porn thing. The red looks like an old man's drooling over an underage girl. The blue looks like she is a woman. I guess not a lot of technical differences. But at least one is legal versus not.

I got the "blue" one as well.

Hey, Churchill is a buddy of mine... if anyone wants their books signed, let me know and I'll get him to sign a bunch next time I pop in for a cuppa.

Turner's dark Superirl has a dislocated spine

[Darrell F]

I picked up both but I wish it would have just been a Churchill cover. Something about Turner's figures just doesnt do it for me.

They both suck! These guys are the Liefelds of the new generation.

Churchill was around during the Liefield era (not as early though). In fact, he worked for Liefield at Awesome Comics on Coven. Not far off there. Turner, though? That's harsh.

I thought Churchill's work on Cable was pretty darn good...

I think when they put in the time their art is top notch. It seemed like some of Ian's art from issue 3 especially was rushed and from what I see of Turner's evil Supergirl on the cover to issue 5 it looks a little weird. Just my opinion. Much of the art from the other issues is great.

[followtheleader]

I should specify, I don't have a problem with Churchill's art at all. In fact, I really don't with Liefields. Though I do understand why people do and some of it is just plain nutty looking. Turner's work is simply fantastic most of the time. I was just trying to correlate that Churchill had worked for Liefield before.

I was disappointed too. After last issue the story had so much promise of inventiveness, that when it all ended so suddenly I was let down. As opposed to Supergirl's perky painted on costume look which keeps it upliftiness. Or should I not go there? Its certainly been a unique viewpoint for comics. At least Ive never seen this style before..

IMHO, if you're going to get excited by looking at girls with "perky," skimpy clothing ... they should at least be girls on the net. Not that I condone that activity; but you need to at least look at real women and not cartoons.
