Supergirl, Volume 2: Breaking the Chain
by Joe Kelly
This was okay.
The problem with Supergirl is keeping a writer who wants to invest. Breaking the chain provides some fun little stories by Joe Kelly. One even about abusive relationships. But it all feels rushed and not fulfilling or giving justice to the character. Also a lot of sexual took for a teenager and while we all had talks like that, and plenty of sex, it feels odd for a Icon such as Supergirl to be talking about it to be honest.
Good: The art still remains good, more cartoony than volume 1, but the fights are big and explosive. Also the dialog sometimes hits the mark and you do feel bad for Kara a lot of the time. Also how great was that superman/supergirl moment at the end? Perfect.
Bad: The abusive relationship storyline is rushed and the PSA isn't strong on that one. Also the stories are all over the place, crossovers mixed up, and you will probably be confused on what's happening a lot of the time.
Overall it's a fun book, but it's not amazing. It should be but the jump on to different writers, artist, and then eventually left behind storylines that just kind of drift away. I'd go with a 2.5 for this one.
