Positives
In this issue, Lana and Kara, are discussing politics that surround all the dealing at the DEO and what is the source of the red Kryptonite. Back in Metropolis, Maxima, a “power broker” of sorts but more a hero maker seeks to destroy Superwoman. Amos also gets fight with Lana and Kara as he is not only fighting but his other self, the one form his childhood, is trying to break through. Everything comes to a head, as a fight between Superwoman and Supergirl against Maxima, as she invades DEO headquarters. By book’s end, it was all a ruse to sniff out if this was the Maxima, who is actually Supergirl’s friend.
Negatives
The payoff was not quite enough for this issue to be as good as it could have been
Verdict
Worth reading, maybe wait for the trade, as this issue does not truly provide anything substantial.
