Supergirl: Being Super (USA) di Mariko Tamaki & Joelle Jones

Supergirl: Being Super (Published by DC Comics; Review by Lan Pitts; 'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10):

Putting the "girl" back in Supergirl, Mariko Tamaki (Skim) and artist Joelle Jones take Kara Danvers out of the her cape and costume and into track shorts and sneakers — for the time being, anyways. With characterization superceding action, this could polarize some fans expecting something out of the Supergirl TV show, but end up finding a more grounded take on Kara's teenage world. Sure, she does super things in here like lift a car like she's taking off her jacket, but that's not where the heart of the story lies. There's unlimited potential here for this four-part series that showcases the combined talent of Tamaki and Jones is a force to reckon with, but let's hope we don't lose focus on something more exciting in the meantime.

Bel numero, mi ha sorpreso. Una storia molto incentrata sull'adolescenza. Non avevo mai letto niente di questa scrittrice ma direi che qui si è dimostrata un'ottima narratrice.

Supergirl: Being Super #2 (Published by DC Comics; Review by Matthew Sibley; 'Rama Rating: 9 out of 10):

A lot of entertainment doesn't really take time to slow down when tragedy strikes, and this rings true in the era of Game of Thrones where "anyone can die" and plot gets burned through at a staggering rate. The exploration of grief is something dealt with, but it's rarely the sole focus which makes this issue feel so different as Kara processes the loss she suffers. Through this, the extended page count shines as Mariko Tamaki is able to decompress the narrative to elongate how long this passage of time feels and demonstrates her ability to work in different styles, which feels drastically different to the hyper-focused eye of her Hulk series. In the action, Joëlle Jones creates these large and powerful panels to convey the true scope of the chaos, while denser panels after the dust has cleared remain just as detailed, but chart the slight movements. Kara wasn't Supergirl right from the get-go and spending this amount of time with her means that we get to know her instead of her superhero persona and as a result this is fast becoming one of the strongest Supergirl stories ever told.

'Rama Rating: 10 out of 10

"You are strong in so many ways, Kara. Stronger than you know."

Reading as the spiritual successor to Superman: Secret Identity and the first arc of Ultimate Spider-Man, you'd be hard-pressed to think of a DC book as charming and naturalistic as writer Mariko Tamaki and artist Joelle Jones' Supergirl: Being Super. Utilizing their expanded page count to the fullest, this creative team doesn't fell into the trap of instant and frenetic superhero action - instead, Being Super is a coming-of-age character piece first and foremost, not just showing Kara Danvers struggling with her powers, but also with the trials and tribulations of being a teenage girl.

After last issue's slow burn, Takada throws us into the thick of things early, as Kara is thrown into an active earthquake scenario even as her powers have begun to flicker uncontrollably. It's a great way for this future Supergirl to get a taste of heroism, but Tamaki also keeps the challenge level high, twisting the knife with an unexpected tragedy that fuels the rest of the book. Similar to The CW's Riverdale, a death in a small town will send emotional ripples everywhere, and there are shades of the classic Christopher Reeve Superman as Kara wonders why she has all the power, but was unable to save a person she loved.

But the real masterstroke of Being Super is that Tamaki s able to use her page count to paint a beautiful picture of Midwest Americana, from Kara's taciturn farmer father to her bubbly mother dispensing good old-fashioned wisdom. Even scenes with Kara eating at her favorite diner (who hasn't enjoyed a second dinner as a teenager?), or trying to outrace her sadness with boy bands and super-speed makes for a poignant but altogether believable world. Whereas Kara's TV counterpart works hard to tackle feminist issues for a wide national audience, Being Super almost feels like a more natural narrative about being a girl at a certain time of her life. And with this verisimilitude, this Kara comes off as extremely likable while also having some real and personal challenges to overcome.

Joelle Jones is also a big reason why this book feels so real and down-to-earth. While some of the action sequences occasionally look a little distended with the wide-mouthed expressions, Jones casts a spell on readers with her beautifully realized set designs. The old shed, the diner, Kara's room, these are all places that have been designed with deliberateness and love, and absolutely grounds this series to a world that I think we can all recognize. Jones' character work is also superb - she is really fantastic for Tamaki's quieter, talkier scenes, letting Kara's sadness often do the heavy lifting even where dialogue can't. And once things start to shake up with some otherworldly intervention, Jones and colorist Kelly Fitzpatrick really crank up the alien quality of it all, the sheer disorientation that comes when you can barely recognize the images in front of you.

There are plenty of good comic books out there; in fact, plenty of great ones. But with the monthly hustle of superhero comic books, I think it's easy to fill your shelves with content that doesn't withstand the test of time. But I think Supergirl: Being Super might be one of those rare storylines, the kind of story that helps define a character in a way that stays evergreen for a long time. With beautifully realized characterization and designs, Supergirl: Being Super is a tremendous treat to read.

La mini era partita molto bene, però è dannatamente decompressa, non è successa una mazza, tutti i numeri sono extra sized, ma niente...e il prossimo numero sarà pure l'ultimo!
