Superwoman #4 Discussion

[Dolores - The Worst Poster Ever]

Thx. Was she in previous issues of Superwoman?

She was mentioned in previous issues, but this is her first appearance in Superwoman.

Superwoman, and New Super-Man are the Super books I can rely on to be consistently great. Supergirl would probably be on the list too if I were reading it, but while I'm subscribed to it, I'm going to take my time getting started on it.

Jimenez is packing 'Superwoman' with a lot of ideas, but I worry the series will be cancelled and most of it won't get to the point where it amounts to something. Right now it's more substantive that what's in the Superman books, but it's still mostly background dressing.

Lana's conversation with Lois about what happens to portrayal of women that gain power was brief and it's the kind of thing I want explored more in this book. One thing that has me worried is Lana's anxiety, and that Jimenez might write her relying on her medication as a weakness. Lana herself says she won't apologize for them, and conflict regarding her medication seems to be telling her loved ones that she's on medication and worried about how they might respond, but with the track record of how these things have been portrayed in media has me worried.

I was going to write a long post about how much more important this book became and why it and Supergirl are now the two most important books of the Super line, especially after Jurgen's recent comments regarding the election and the response to it, but I'll keep things brief and say that DC needs to keep this book going despite how far it drops in sales and they need to give Jimenez free reign to do whatever he wants with this book. Jimenez and Orlando are not only the most socially and politically conscious writers working on the Super line today, but they are two of the most socially and politically conscious writers working for DC overall. Let them do as they please, because what they have to say is now paramount to contributing through comics to much needed cultural shift.

Co-signed. I want to see his take on the prison-industrial complex and other social issues. I don't trust much other writers on things of this nature. Really, only a few.

Still enjoying this book, a lot of depth....

Love the Ghost Lois bit. Especially since it's so unclear if that's her spirit or just Lana imagining it with just enough evidence of either.

Loved seeing Traci finally make her return. Been a long time since she and Natasha (cough and Mia cough) teamed up. I was genuinely surprised her "street" magic was brought up again. They kinda dropped that from her character almost right after she was introduced years ago, at least quietly since it got less and less mention especialy after Infinite Crisis and I don't think it was even mentioned again after some time. Love her design here. Very cute. She and Natasha have definitely improved on their outfits.



But I'm really interested in seeing how this all goes at the moment. Lex actually seems genuinely sad about his and Lena's relationship. It would be interesteing to see if the story gets resovled and it's not just Lex trying to tear his sister down (as many stories will usually go). I really would be happy to see him and her hug it out by stories end.


I wonder how long Lana will be as she is. She's been extremely passive. It's almost surprising to see in a story. IE Everything's kind of happening to or around her.

Kinda want to see how she and Jessica Cruz might be like if they were friends since both have similar but very different hang ups and axhiety issues.
