Review-Superman/Batman #8 - The Supergirl from Krypton.Wow! After perusing the issue several times I continue to be impressed. Jeph Loeb is an incredible writer, and the new story arc looks like it will shape up to be an excellent one. While Batman is searching Gotham Harbor to find Kryptonite he finds something even more significant, a ship with Kryptonian inscriptions. Meanwhile, a girl emerges from the harbor speaking gibberish and exhibiting all the powers of Superman. Being in a strange, new world, she can't communicate with anyone and inadvertently goes on a destructive rampage. After using green Kryptonite to disable her, Batman takes her back to The Cave. When she comes to she is not happy. Enter Superman, who understands her language. It is his cousin from Krypton. Go figure! Michael Turner (Aspen Studios) is an awesome artist. The art style is definitely Turner's (Fathom), but he uses it well in this book. Batman and Superman are jacked!!! I am looking forward to the rest of the run by Turner.
