I love the dialogue and story, but not the art

how did you not like the art
I thought Kara looked very chic in her outfit

IGN gave it a 6.0...............

[Conan The Barbarian]

IGN gave it a 6.0...............

That's because IGN hates anything Superman related

IGN's always been wibbly wobbly when it comes to comic book reviews. I know it's all built from the opinion of the critic, but the critics at IGN can seem pretty odd when they score books.

Very true. I do recall a recent RHatO issue got a fairly high mark, with the comment it was the best issue to date. The previous issue had a higher score. All the critics have different tastes and they are wildly biased and prone to favouritism. The criteria don't seem to be consistent for more than one reviewer.

I think respect and nostalgia have a lot to with how much you enjoyed the art. I didn't, but I understand why many would. Perez is a legend. A hero of mine. He's earned some leeway.

On its own merits, the art wasn't so hot, though.

thats because its not Call of Duty

and they don't even review any new titles its the same ones month in month out maybe they could try some titles to give them more recognition

Goddamn, I'm tempted to make an entirely new appreciation thread for Silver Banshee alone! I love this super irish rockstar Siobhan lass! She's so cool and I love the relationship between her and Kara. She seems downright heroic in this, but I kept wondering if she'll be corrupted into turning into the villain we know that can whip on Kal and Kara on a regular basis. Either way, it's gonna be awesome, but I'm so in love with Siobhan and Kara becoming BFF, I kinda want her to stay hero!

yeah, lets see they give Swamp Thing, Batman, Animal Man, Batman & Robin 9.0s all the time, but its rare to see a brighter comic score above 7 for them

CBR gave it a 4.5/5 saying:

This relaunched "Supergirl" has eight issues behind it, but Supergirl still hasn't learned English, she doesn't have a home, and has only been able to have conversations with a handful of other characters, but the overall narrative doesn't feel decompressed or stretched out. Quite the opposite, in fact, and this issue is a splendid example of what "Supergirl" has to offer readers. Sure, every issue doesn't have Pérez art, but the density of the story, increased visually by Pérez's propensity to fill panels, is on par with the series. As a matter of fact, this issue serves as a nice introduction to readers looking for an in with the Kryptonian cousin of Superman.

When I reread it I will try and give more lavage to Perez

I think it's pretty obvious at this point that Banshee is gonna be the one teaching Kara English with her "power of language" n all. Very cool!

go ahead I really do hope they become good friends for a long time I'm a dude and if they have an issue where its just Kara and Siobhan shopping I would probably love it

At least we learn a little more about Kryptonian clothing:

It learns to adjust to you.

:D

Pretty much.
Supergirl´s diaper?
It was originally her gloves.

Her leg straps, the remnants of her skirt.

You don´t wanna know what the boots were originally ^_^

Argh! I don't like the art illustrations by George Perez. I only hope that this is temporary and that Mahmud Asrar will be back. I wish they wouldn't change up the artist like this it is so very annoying. Story is great. Just don't like the art style of Perez.
