Superman/Batman Vol. 2 Supergirl ^ I am not really into the charater of supergirl but I really like this this book. Good page turner.
Great Sotry and Graphics ^ This is the second volume of the Batman/Superman graphic novel series. The story picks up from the end of the first Volume and creates a story that is ultimately one of the best I have read in the recent publishing of DC comics. The relationships between the characters and the plot all lead to a well-rounded interesting story. Along with the tale comes the graphics that complete the greatness of this graphic novel. This is a mind-bogglingly awesome book and should be read by fans of comic books and superheroes. It should even be read by people who aren't fans of comic books and superheroes because the story can still relate.
Supergirl's Origins Done Right. ^ Out of the 3 or 4 Superman/Batman volumes that I have read this is my favorite. This is a retelling of Supergirl's origins using plotpoints that have been around for years while introducing new ones. With Jeph Loebs superb writing and Michael Turner's gorgeous illustrations this is a must for any Superman or Batman fan. I picked this up on a whim a few years ago and I'm so glad I did. Check this one out.
One of the Best Superman/Batman stories I have ever read. ^ This is my favourite Graphic Novel. From the artwork, to the dialog, to the monologue, it's excellent in every way. While "Public Enemies" gives us a story packed with action on a grand scale, "Supergirl" delves into the thought processes and interactions between Superman, Batman, and this new girl, Kara. From Superman's need to protect, to Batman's unwillingness to trust, this story has my favourite portrayals of the Man of Steel and Dark Knight.
A tribute to Michael Turner ^ It's difficult to read this story now without a tinge of melancholy in light of the recent heartbreaking and tragic passing of Michael Turner. The entire comic industry, along with his family and friends, has lost a remarkable talent and, by all accounts, a great guy also. He didn't do many complete stories outside of his own projects, which makes this rare assemblage of impressive illustrations all the more cherishable. This trade is one of the very few that I occasionally peruse strictly for his beautiful artwork alone. From his fearsome Batman to his gorgeous Wonder Woman, his amazing ability is strikingly evident in every panel. Not to be slighted, Jeph Loeb's writing talent is also quite evident in this tale that is easily the best of the four that he worked on for this title. His trademark dueling internal monologues are showcased, as is the return of Supergirl. This time around, Superman and Batman are joined by Wonder Woman and Big Barda on a perilous mission to Apokolips to rescue Supergirl from the clutches of that dastardly despot Darkseid, highlighted by a titanic physical battle and also one of high stakes poker between Batman and Darkseid. The sole flaw is that the story should have ended about thirty pages sooner upon their return to Earth, since the closing pages appear more like an epilogue whose primary purpose was to set the stage for the introduction of Kara to the rest of the DCU, and painfully cheesy it was at that. Nevertheless, still a very solid story with stunning art, the likes of which, sadly, we will never see again. Michael, you will be missed.
