Supergirl Annual 5, and Lane family stuff
Photobucket

Some poor NPC is wandering around the mountains and gets hit by Purple Lightning, which brings Superwoman/Lucy Lane back to life somehow.

Lucy remembers her life, and feels that she's always been in her sister's shadow, in particular when it comes to a relationship with their father.

Her dad apparently died, so Lucy joined the army, almost as a way of committing suicide. But it turned out she was good at it. And then...

A new uniform, one he wants her to wear. The Superwoman uniform, capable of giving its wearer Kryptonian-like superpowers. So in a way, Amazons Attack gave us Superwoman.

	Is it my imagination or is the suit powered by the Amazonian purple healing ray? (Reply to this)

	It's Supergirl v5 Annual #1, not Supergirl Annual #5. (Reply to this)

	Why is she hugging her dad in that position? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The horrific battle claimed her knees. They can't bend anymore. It's just planks of wood under those pants. Either that, or neither the inker, the colorist, or the editor mentioned how unbelievably creepy that panel is. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Wait, so hang on a minute... Lucy Lane is Superwoman? And it was the suit that gave her Kryptonian superpowers? I actually didn't see that coming. But man, you blink around here and you're months behind everybody else. Darn it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	the worst part of this issue wasn't in this story though. It was in the main story where Red Kryptonite was used to identify Kryptonians. If the Operation Patriot people weren't already stupid enough. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Randomly giving people antheads on the street is probably pretty entertaining though. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Greek society based Amazons wouldn't have dressed like that....... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	They looked like Bana-Migdahl... or however that's spelled to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not much of a History buff but the costumes don't look all that Egyptian too me either. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Yeah, that's how they looked in Amazons Attack. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	That's the oddest looking hug I hav ever seen... (Reply to this)

	lieut_kettch 2009-09-03 03:33 am UTC (link)
	Ummm... weren't the Bana skilled in using modern firearms? And the Paradise Island Amazons had access to advanced technology too. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I was rather hoping we could all get on and repress AA in peace. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ack! Post button too soon! That should be "I was rather hoping we could all get on and repress AA in peace. Because the damn thing is now tainting this by association, for no good reason. She could have been wounded at any military action, but no, it had to be fighting the Shams." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, it contributes to her motivation for disliking Kara, I guess? It's been so long since anyone's mentioned it... I had really thought they'd finally realized what an atrocious clusterfuck the whole affair was and tacitly moved on. Guess not. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	This pretty much retconned Lucy/Ron and little Sam, godammit. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	According to the editorial, they're just separated. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Why? Why? Why does she switch from "strong, capable soldier" to "porn model" (both the hug and the last panel) AS SOON AS HER DADDY SHOWS UP? Brain bleach...where did I put the brain bleach... (Reply to this)
