Regarding Action Comics #868:
1) Does Supergirl routinely use her X-Ray vision on the chests of women she's just met?
a) If the answer is yes, uh.....why?
b) And if so, does Geoff Johns seriously expect us to believe that this is the first time she's encountered the concept of breast implants??
c) If it's not something she usually does, why is she doing it here??? Pretty creepy...
d) I know this is supposed to set up the enmity story arc between Supergirl and Cat Grant (because that's exactly what the Supergirl comic has been missing...her own J. Jonah Jameson), but since Cat was boasting about her bosom-enhancing surgery two issues ago, I'm pretty sure that someone daring to mention it shouldn't set her off.
e) Whatever our explanation, it's a hell of a long and awkward set up for a "joke" about fake boobs.
2) So we've bought Cat Grant back just to make her an unpleasant celebrity attacker and a skanky ho? Gee, thanks, we really needed that...
(And I leave the debate to others whether or not the venerable Daily Planet, under the auspices of editor Perry White, would be printing a gossip column as venal as the one Cat describes, and whether Lois and Clark would continue to work, without any comment whatsoever, for a paper that printed such stuff).
3) Steve Lombard, @#$%^. Again leaving aside the question of whether such a lout could actually rise to the position of sports editor of the prestigious Daily Planet...
Gee, between Cat and Steve, Geoff Johns' has transformed the DP into one of the more unpleasant work environments imaginable, eh?
Geoff Johns: restoring the Bronze Age to Superman's mythos, but making it cruder than hell. Again, thank you.

I don't know. The Washington Post continues to print Lisa de Moraes's venom-filled TV column everyday as well as the rumor column so it doesn't surprise me that The Daily Planet would have Cat Grant's vapid column.
ReplyDeleteI can buy Steve Lombard at WGBS but not so much at the Planet.
