What they got right: On my blog, I needed two paragraphs for a proper synopses, and it's a normal-sized $2.50 title. Take that, everybody else! There is so much excellence in this finale, with all plot threads wrapped up but an opening for further issues (you hearin' me, Didio--PUBLISH MORE!). For what's been a comedy for the most part (the Moon baddies even cameo fighting on her side), this had some very touching moments. I mean, I felt sorry for Luthor (until he tried to play mind games, and even then I felt sorry for him in a different way). Let me capitalize: THEY MADE ME FELL SORRY FOR LEX LUTHOR! The old criminal scientist version, now the occasionally noble but otherwise evil businessman we've had post-Crisis 1. That shouldn't be possible! Well played, Landry. Well played!
What they got wrong: Absolutely nothing. I can't even stretch this one, and I'm being as unbiased as possible. Any complaints you have aren't about the story unless it's a personal taste issue. They hit every mark, crossed every "t"...the only thing wrong is the ending. Unless we get our Summer Vacation special and 9th Grade series, a grave disservice has been done to comics in general and kid-friendly comics specifically.
Recommendation: You have kids? When the compilation comes out, and it would be a low-level sin not to, buy this for them. This will draw kids into comics, and help keep the next generation reading. I also recommend further stories be greenlit. I demand my Moon Supergirl Special!
At this time, I want to personally thank everyone that has been involved with this series for making a comic I can't complain about. Would a full series one day make a miss? Sure, some Marvel Adventures titles I read made a goof over time. But they took the uncertainty of issue one, and somehow turned it in one issue into one of my must-have comics, winning my site's Best Scene of the Week award every time it's published, and making me excited about a comic not featuring shape-shifting robots or time-traveling cabinets. If not with Cosmic Supergirl, I hope all of you (writer Landry Walker, artist Eric Jones, and colorist Joey Mason, to whom I haven't given enough credit in reviews and I apologize) get together again in the future on something just as fun and love-filled. This is what a comic should be
