Sanctuary by Mike Johnson
2.0
It appears that there's a really interesting story here, too bad you only get about a third if it. Supergirl, vol 3: Sanctuary, continues DC's tradition of having these large crossover events (this one involving the Sueprgirl, Superman, and Superboy comics), but when it comes to their trade paperbacks for the individual titles, they only collect the issues for that title. This means you only get the Supergirl part of the story, which is only PART of the actual story. It's like picking up a book to find most of the chapters missing. As a result, Sanctuary contains a rushed romance, unresolved cliffhangers, and doesn't even give us the end of the story, resulting in a choppy, uneven mess.
The second storyline, which involves Power Girl, is more successful (despite the ridiculous moment when Supergirl, WHO ISN'T WEARING ANY PANTS, criticizes Power Girl's equally ridiculous Boob-window outfit). Still, that doesn't change the fact that much of this volume is too frustrating. I am quite glad that I got this from the library and did not pay my own money. The artwork is fine, at least.
