    Comic Review: Supergirl (2016-) #32

    Supergirl #31

    DC Comics

    Writer: Marc Andreyko

    Artists: Kevin Maguire & FCO Plascencia

     

    The Supergirl series has been locked up in a crossover lately that has both complemented and slowed down its main arc. The addition of the rest of the Super-family is welcome, but I feel like it has slowed down the pacing of an otherwise entertaining arc. These problems continue in Supergirl #31.

    Marc Andreyko has been the best thing for the character in quite some time, though he hasn’t been able to elevate the Supergirl above the rest of the Superman family. There isn’t any shame in this, but I still long for the day that Supergirl is one of the best books on the stands. I will say that it has been a thoroughly entertaining run, with some fine action and fun moments.

    Supergirl #31 pretty much possesses everything noteworthy about this run in just one issue. The action is a fun time, with some great moments for everyone, including the antagonists. This issue does suffer from being far too wordy though, with long conversations and even longer villainous monologues. Most of the dialogue is full of cliches and left me wanting more. The main villain of this issue, Gandelo, is pretty generic, and not memorable at all. Fortunately, a few other appearances more than makeup for Gandelo’s incompetence as a villain, salvaging this issue.

    Visually, Supergirl #31 rises above most of the superhero books this week. Kevin Maguire and FCO Plascencia together give this issue a fun and animated feel. The art style is similar to the Allreds’, and everything is colorful and full of personality. The action flows through the panels without a hitch, which is nice considering that the issue is all about the fighting. The lettering is also impressive in this issue, allowing for different characters to truly have different voices, especially the antagonists.

    Supergirl #31 is another fine issue that is bogged down by wordiness and a lack of character. The action is well-done thanks to clean panel structures and animated art, but that’s about the only thing that I loved about this issue. Maybe Supergirl can find her way when this crossover wraps up.

    Marcus isn't good at a lot, but he is an expert at replaying Final Fantasy games despite there being a lot of good stuff out there. He also loves comics, board games, and anime. He thinks Chip Zdarsky is a treasure.
