Some thoughts about Supergirl #33

Supergirl has tasted what rage is able to do for her, is she willing to let it go?

Worldkiller-1 believes that Kara and him are from the same kind and he's decided to make her believe that too no matter what it takes. Meanwhile, Caitlin Fairchild has just awaken and is searching for a group of teenagers, what are they connection to the Kryptonians?

This is pretty much what you might expect from this run at this point.

Tony Bedard delivers a conclusion to the whole "Red Daughter" arc featuring Sueprgirl wearing the red ring of rage that was told in both this title and Red Lanterns but does it in a while that doesn't make the character progress any further in terms of development and without any compelling surprise about it.

The whole storyline was created to feature the consequences of the events that have been haunting Supergirl since the beginning of the current volume but it's one that doesn't give us any particularly new or shocking aspects of her psyche. Not to mention that the way that she gets rid of the ring is the way that you would guess considered the history of such Corps.

The conflict with the villain is also resolved pretty quickly and again, doesn't offer an epic battle between the two which in fact makes this issue one of the fastest reads in the whole week and one of the most predictable.

Oh, and are you asking for the whole Gen 13 thing? They had just a couple of pages teasing what is going to happen, it has something to do with Kryptonians but is not really clear.

Jeff Johnson and Emanuela Luppachino share art duties for the Supergirl sections of this issue, Johnson's work is serviceable at best, Luppachino's is definitely the strongest with beautiful characters and settings. The Gen 13 portion of the issue is drawn by Frank Barbieri and it's also just decent.

Mediocre issue but I suppose at least it gives a conclusion to this arc.
