Supergirl #11 Spoilers and Discussion

[SiegePerilous02]

So what did everybody else think? Kara and Babs teaming up is always a good time, and Orlando wrote Barbara really well. Awful Burnside costume aside, this Batgirl gave me serious TNBA vibes and that was delightful.

The appearance of Magog as a recruit for the Empress's Fatal Five was a genuine surprise. I was expecting more old school Supergirl villains being brought back from obscurity, but that could still happen as we have three slots left to fill. Fingers crossed for Nasty and Satan Girl at least.

I've heard the Phantom King was a Greg Pak thing. Was it always an alias of Xa-Du? And were those two ladies with him new characters, or obscure characters from Pre-Crisis?

Ching's artwork is ok, but I wish Lapacchino was doing interiors.

Actually that was something that came from Grant Morrison I believe in regards to the Xa-Du/ Phantom King, but Pak developed it in his Batman/ Superman run.

I really liked it. Definitely gonna read this arc through.

Wait a minute . . . wasn't it issue #9 of Supergirl that came out this week, not issue #11?

(New Super-Man was issue #11, while Superwoman was issue #10.)

Steve Orlando dropped yet another reference to past continuity - the Tychotech CEO mentions she worked for the Contessa and "knows how to raise a company from the dead."

I remain intrigued as to how many of these little things are actual indicators of the state of things and how many are just easter eggs for DC diehards (like Orlando).

He's a Morrison revamp who Pak developed further in his books.

Yes it was. Not sure how I got those wires crossed...
