Reviews

[Dean]

this is a review of the whole 90odd issue saga.

at the start, the series' are interwoven really well. superman leads into action leads into supergirl and back. as the story progresses this still happens but continuity is lost despite there being numbering on each cover to know where to go. for example. the supergirl series for most of the 40s has kara tracking down Reactron on earth. but the world of new krypton series she's on new krypton with her mother and kal-el. it doesn't make sense at all. very annoying when youre reading the 'saga' in the order set by the issues and editorial.

natasha irons is on the magic world with captain atom and in hiding with Jimmy Olsen?
overall I think the story and idea are good, however it goes for too long that thibgs dont add up. around the three quarter mark, I started spewed resding the issues as thinking about it all and trying to make sense of where everyone was didn't add up.
