kinda slow paced but still good

[Murphy C · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have to deduct one star for the proliferation of first-person narrative text boxes that are repetitive, redundant, or just absent of any real content or meaning. Lots of them are just tedious little folksisms of the protagonist. If the artwork weren't so beautiful and the story so compelling, it would be a bigger problem. Still loving the series and this ish was great!

4.5/5 Stars - Chapter Five: "The Lake, the Trees, and the Monsters"

blocos amarelos entediantes

[Colin Post · Rating 4 out of 5]

This issue, in which SG needs to endure for a day under a poison sun, doesn’t have quite the punch as previous issues, but I love the dynamism of this series — each issue provides a slightly different experience. For this issue, the slow crawl of survival stands in contrast to the breathless pace of some earlier issues. As a standalone, it’s not as strong, though it’s useful for the overall arc of the miniseries.

A survival issue where Kara has to last a day sick and powerless. This lets her companion step up. Another solid issue for Supergirl.

Ruthye has to take care of Kara while she’s suffering from the green sun. what seem to be dinosaurs go to attack them but Ruthye protects them.

En el primer número de esta miniserie comenté que me parecía genial que esto pareciese proponer un sencillo pero efectivo Sword and Planet con el personaje de Supergirl, aunque ya en la 2º grapa me quedaba claro que no iba a ser así... O eso parecía, porque no me esperaba que Tom King me contentase con ese deseo pero de una forma totalmente inesperada en este quinto número. En el cual, nuestras protagonistas quedan varadas en un planeta perdido en el cosmos poblado por un sinfín de voraces criaturas... El problema está en que Kara estará fuera de combate. Pero estas páginas no solo funcionan a modo de asfixiante survival. La vulnerabilidad (física, la emocional y mental ya hemos visto hasta ahora que ya estaba en entredicho) de un personaje aparentemente invulnerable como nuestra heroína kryptoniana, sirve para que nuestra joven vengadora parezca replantearse su gesta de frenar de forma definitiva a Krem. La narración aquí ya no es un simple añadido, demuestra que es la parte más esencial de esta historia (sin desmerecer nada al impecable arte de Bilquis Evely).

Quedan unos cuantos números para que Tom King finiquite por todo lo alto (aunque seguramente no como muchos esperamos) esta inesperada historia con Supergirl.

"just know that she was in desperate need and i could do nothing" 😞

gosto quando uma história pausa a continuidade e a ação pra trazer um pouco mais de drama, introspecção, e fortalecimento do vínculo entre os personagens

"We had made it through the day and into the night. Which I suppose is all one ever does."

absolutely devastating

[Vijay Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's always darkest before the dawn. But in this case it's always brightest before the dusk.

Una grapa de un día titánico de alguna crueldad que le tiraron al primo de Kara en un planeta. Muy entretenido, la verdad.

more like a 4.5 but anyway: a fantastic issue. really makes you feel for ruthye, and kara’s perseverant nature shines through. spectacular

[Aidan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a wonderful series.

[Benja Calderon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Le damos una pausa al horror y nos tomamos un tiempo para ver la valentia de Ruthye, quien tiene que tomar las riendas de la situación, luego de que Krem logre enviarlas a Barenton, el planeta que fuera creado para derrotar a Superman, al tener un sol de kryptonita

Es agradable salir de horror de Krem y los Bandoleros, se agradece el alivio y logra conectarse orgánicamente a la narración
