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

Letto il #3
Il fatto che sia composta da numeri extrasize non rende questa serie un turbinio di cose che accadono in fretta, ma si prende tempo per esplorare la psicologia di Kara che si trova in difficoltà con le sue tragedia, le sue scoperte e i suoi poteri. Io la sto apprezzando moltissimo, anche se alla fine non succedono molte cose. Mi è piaciuto il finale e ora aspetto il mese prossimo per la conclusione
Chissà se la raccoglieranno in TP o direttamente in hardcover

Supergirl: Being Super #3 (Published by DC Comics; Review by Matthew Sibley; 'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10):

Mariko Tamaki continues with Kara's exploration of grief as this miniseries nears its conclusion. While many superhero origins may be defined by tragedy of some kind, very few examine the time between the event and the hero rising to the occasion. Here, not only does Tamaki somewhat subvert this tendency of the medium in the issue's flashbacks, but the time and space allowed for within an extended page count mean that Kara only becomes more defined as a character. While Tamaki's plot might envelop more traditional elements of superhero comics over the course of the issue, for the most part, Joelle Jones and Kelly Fitzpatrick continue with their portrayal of a realist milieu. This story isn't purely about Kara, but also the world around her, which involves her classmates and so it's necessary that these people are literally and appropriately sketched out rather than being purely loose shapes in the background. This is an intense and internal story, seen through the midpoint flashback and the strong sense of character that comes from this approach shows that Supergirl: Being Super should be the go-to recommendation for Kara Zor-El.

Supergirl: Being Super #3 marks the penultimate issue of this out-of-continuity mini-series, as Kara digs deeper into her teenage journey of self-discovery. One of the series' biggest strengths is Kara's internal struggle between her alien heritage and the life she's created on Earth, and this issue puts this emotional balance to the test.

The story opens up with Kara trying to get back to her daily routine at school after the passing of her best friend, Jen. Mariko Tamaki continues to give a realistic portrayal of mourning as Kara tries to deal with simple tasks at school, like walking the hallways or making cupcakes in Home Ec. The issue seamlessly weaves the raw emotions of losing a friend with Kara's newly emerging emotions of losing a planet that she is only now starting to remember.

Kara learns more about her heritage when she meets Tan-On, who's being experimented on by none other than her track coach, Coach Stone. This leaves Kara confused as flooding memories of her past start to emerge. Kara is in a broken emotional state, so she does what any teenager would do in this situation - she makes a rash decision. She runs away with a boy she just met because she wants to discover more about her past life.

Tamaki has done a great job at creating a world for Kara in Midvale by giving multiple dimensions to Kara's supporting characters, which makes Kara's decision at the end even more heart-breaking. But that's the point! Tamaki allows the reader to go inside Kara's head, to truly know her character even if she doesn't know herself. You feel the internal struggle Kara is going through as she has to pick one of the two worlds she feels she identifies with the most.

Joelle Jones' pencils and Kelly Fitzpatrick's colors portray Kara's complicated emotions perfectly throughout the issue. Jones showcases the struggle of Kara going back to her daily routine through her facial expressions and movements. This is shown well in the opening of the story where Kara slouches at the breakfast table, and tries on a few outfits for school - figuring, what's the point of it all? Jones' is also able to flex her muscles as an artist with more action scenes in this issue, and finds a good balance as her pencils also portray Kara's raw emotions in these action sequences. This is especially prevalent in the scene where Kara learns that Coach Stone betrayed her. Jones shows the rage in Kara's face as she unleashes her heat vision onto Stone's equipment.

Tamaki uses Kara's story in Supergirl: Being Super #3 to show the struggles all teenagers have as they search for their self-identity and try to find a place in the world. Supergirl Being Super resonates as the perfect coming of age story because it reminds us that in many ways, all teenagers feel like aliens.

Letto #4
Bhe? Finisce così? Bhoooo. Sapevo che non avrebbero potuto gestire così tante cose in un solo numero, infatti non sembra nemmeno una conclusione (era questo il punto? Gestito male lo stesso).
In realtà non mi è dispiaciuto niente, anzi...questa mini si è lasciata leggere senza troppi problemi, solo che manca la sostanza, a questo punto tanto valeva fare una maxi e che cazz, chissà quando vedremo il "sequel", perchè damn non può finire così....

Molto bello questo finale, poca sostanza ma tanta emozione. Penso che sia scontato che faranno un sequel prima o poi. Comunque questa mini è stata stupenda, forse la migliore cosa che ho letto di supergirl, la recupererò in volume

Supergirl: Being Super #4 marks the finale of Mariko Tamaki and Joelle Jones' out-of-continuity Supergirl origin story. The series continues to be a beautiful coming-of-age story that explores the difficulties teenagers have as they try to figure out their identities, and the boundaries they must push through to find out what type of person they want to become.
In this issue Kara is put through the ultimate test as her best friend Dolly is kidnapped by former coach/current evil scientist, Coach Stone. Kara goes to the coach's evil lab in chances of saving Dolly, but discovers that fellow Kryptonian Tan-On doesn't have the same moral compass as she does. This leads Tan-On to become the true villain of the story. Mariko Tamaki creates a perfect final battle between Kara and Tan-On as the theme of "home" comes full circle. As the battle unfolds, Kara starts to remember her time on Krypton. This helps her embrace the love her biological parents had to let her go, and the love she's found in Midvale growing up on earth.
One of Supergirl: Being Super's biggest strengths is the series' character building. Kara has a strong supporting cast, and this issue puts a much-needed spotlight on Kara's best friend, Dolly. She's a character that embraces Kara to use her powers for good, and pushes her to reach bounds beyond Midvale. Mariko Tamaki developed a great and realistic friendship between Kara and Dolly.
The theme of friendship is one of the most important things to develop in any coming-of-age story, it's like that old saying your parents use to nag you about - the people you hang out with shape you into the person you will become. In Supergirl: Being Super, Dolly helped Kara realize she shouldn't be ashamed of who she is, and instead should embrace it.
Another relationship that is highlighted in this issue is Kara's friendship with Jen, her friend who was killed in Midvale's devastating earthquake. It's the final knot the series must tie before Kara leaves Midvale. Kara learns that it's the good and the bad that shapes a person, and the bad helped Kara appreciate the importance of her friendship with Jen, which may help her understand what it means to be a better hero for the future.
The book ends where most coming-of-age stories should - the beginning of a next chapter. Kara is forced to leave her life in Midvale, the representation of teenagers leaving their childhood behind after high school, but she doesn't forget how the life she lived in Midvale helped shape her into the person she is today.
The pencils by Joelle Jones is some of her strongest work to date as this issue delivers a well-balanced mix of action and emotion. This is especially showcased in Tan-On and Kara's final fight where Kara must use her powers to save Dolly and the town all while dealing with her own emotions as Tan-On's true colors come to light. Jones draws some great facial expressions to show Kara's shifting moods during the battle as she unearths more memories of Krypton, perfectly establishing Kara's weariness turning into determination.
This is also the first issue where we really get to see Kara's powers on display and Jones doesn't hold back. There are some great shots of Tan-On and Kara flying and punching each other all while Kara tries to keep the town's damage to a minimum. Jones even throws in a classic Supergirl power set that hadn't been shown in the series previously, which was a nice surprise.
Supergirl: Being Super is one of comic books' strongest coming-of-age stories in recent years as the series puts the spotlight on Kara being the hero of her own tale. Tamaki and Jones' series with the Girl of Steel ends on a satisfying and action-packed note while still leaving plenty of room for a potential sequel.
