Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom KingMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Wow, Tom King really thinks he's a genius, doesn't he?
The amount he blathers on in this book is ridiculous - especially when the art is telling such an exquisite story by itself.
Bilquis Evely does ALL the heavy lifting here. The art is absolutely stunning, with vivid colours from Mat Lopes. These two carried the story, and it's a real shame their art is defaced with far too many chunky text boxes.
5/5 for the art, 1/5 for Tom King's writing.
Someone please tell DC to stop letting this man write female characters. Or better yet, stop writing altogether. He has some interesting ideas but I've yet to read something from him that was well executed. This just would have been so much more powerful with about a fifth of the word count.
Sigh.
Get it for the art though. 100% recommend solely for the art.
