Sanctuary by Mike Johnson
2.0

This was messy collection.

This is mostly ruined by the He'el or whatever storyline. You know the big New 52 storyline that had Supergirl, Superman, and Superboy all come into play. Sounds like it could be a fun idea, but just one problem. Each collection has each other's comic issues. So just re-reading the same story of the lost family member coming down, tricking supergirl into falling in love with him, and fighting each other. Anyway, the other two issues are basically about Supergirl's Sanctuary, which is her version of fortress of solitude. Oh yeah, and Power Girl comes into this universe.

Good: The Power Girl banter with Supergirl is actually a lot of fun. I also thought the idea of Sanctuary is really interesting. A more talkative version of Superman's hideout. Oh and the art remains pretty solid throughout.

Bad: Well the crossover event takes up 65% of this volume and guess what? That storyline is just okay at best. Worst part about it is the fact they make supergirl evil or bad, or follow this guy, mostly because she "loves him" I think is so fucking stupid.

So yeah, a okay collection at best. A 2.5 out of 5.
