I was just getting used to the old DC Universe continuity of Post-Crisis & then DC decided to reboot everything again for a new generation with Flashpoint. I imagine there was a similar resentment towards the company back in the 80s when Crisis on Infinite Earths happened. However I was just starting to like the Superman family of titles near the tail end of that continuity The whole World of New Krypton, Last Stand of New Krypton & War of the Supermen is one of my favorite Superman trilogy stories of the few that I have read. I loved the torn characterization of Supergirl in that event because she had most recently come back from the dead a few years before & was still adjusting to being back in the world. She was a blend of heroic awkward naivety which was a breath of fresh air. Along comes the New 52 & wipes all that away or so I thought, this new Supergirl is just as awkward as the old one. Really its the same character just tweaked a little she has a new costume but at her core she is still coming to terms with her situation. If your a Supergirl fan or a Superman fan give this a shot I'm still on the fence about the costume change but I like the direction the title is heading.
