Fallen Angel #14 and #15: Supergirl Fans, please note
When "Fallen Angel" first launched from DC Comics, I played fast and loose with the notion that Lee was actually Linda Danvers, a.k.a. Supergirl. A number of hard core Supergirl fans, frustrated that I merely remained coy about it, wandered away from the series because they wanted to know what was up with Linda. When the series moved over to IDW, I revealed the true origin of the Fallen Angel.

Let the word go out, far and wide, in best nudge, nudge, wink wink fashion: Any fans of my run on Supergirl--particularly those who are torqued because Linda Danvers was consigned to oblivion in the DCU--must, must, MUST pick up "Fallen Angel" #14 and #15 when they come out next year.

Trust me.

Checking out the solicits, it may be that PAD got a few issue numbers messed up, 'cause #14 doesn't seem to contain anything pertinent. The following two issues, however...

FALLEN ANGEL #15

Written by Peter David, art by Kristian Donaldson and covers by Donaldson and J.K. Woodward.

A stand-alone tale of the Fallen Angel, wherein Lee discovers "The Predecessor." The special issue features guest-art and cover courtesy of Kristian Donaldson. Series artist J.K. Woodward provides a special variant cover and a retailer incentive cover, too.

FALLEN ANGEL #16 (no cover yet)

Written by Peter David, art and cover by Kristian Donaldson.

Concluding the previously untold tale of the Fallen Angel's predecessor. The mysterious Lin has arrived in the city of Bete Noire and become an absolute force for good. But absolute power -- even for good -- corrupts absolutely. Will Lin fall from grace, or prove to be a super girl?

Suck it, Kara ****e-El. Suck it hard.

Suck it, Kara ****e-El. Suck it hard.

Erotic.

 

[The Leaguer]

I remember the days when Supergirl didn't suck.

 

[Darthphere]

I don't.

 

[The Leaguer]

Stop doing the coke.

 

[Darthphere]

The nose candy is just too good.

 

[Kitsune]

Stop doing the coke.

Have a Coke and a smile

I thought DC had stopped publishing this and it moved to IDW so can he still legally use Linda Davners?

 

[Prognosticator]

I'd like to see a story about Supergirl and Powergirl's "mysterious past" and where they "came" from... and I'd like it to be written by Alan Moore and illustrated by his wife.

 

[The Leaguer]

No, he can't legally use Danvers, but he's using an exact copy of Danvers. He said as much in some interview somewhere that I may or may not be making up.

 

[Kitsune]

No, he can't legally use Danvers, but he's using an exact copy of Danvers. He said as much in some interview somewhere that I may or may not be making up.

I may or may not have read that interview.

 

[yenaled]

Haha, OK then.

I have to say then; I don't really see the point.

 

[The Leaguer]

To try to suck in as many readers as he can get by targeting the Linda Danvers demographic, I bet.

 

[Varient]

Sigh.

I was one of the ones who believed that "Lee" was Linda Danvers.

Was real dissapointed when DC dropped her like they did,.. and "Fallen Angel" was stated as not being Supergirl.


Now this mess?

(Auto-skip engaged)

 

[jaydawg]

Linda Danvers is too good for the current DC universe.

 

[Darthphere]

Geoff Johns: Lets bring back Linda Danvers and make her boring!

 

[04nbod]

what has that got to do with kara? linda danvers being around should have no influence on her

 

[BrianWilly]

Sure it does. She shows just how much better Kara should have been

. Merely by existing, she raises the bar for Kara to consistently not reach.

I thought DC had stopped publishing this and it moved to IDW so can he still legally use Linda Davners?

What're you talking about? It's not Linda Danvers. It's Lin.

And, frankly, DC is just gonna look like fools and bigger asses than they already look like if they whine at PAD for wanting to use her, his own creation, after they've retconned her out of existence.

I was one of those who started reading Fallen Angel because Lee might have been Linda, but stayed on because it was an awesome book. Anyone who's not reading it ought to just slap themselves right now to save God the trouble of slapping you when you die, which is probably gonna be soon 'cause He hates you for not reading it.

I like the fact that Lee's not Linda. Lee really want down to a dark, disturbing place throughout this book which, imo, would have been too out of character for Linda, even at her darkest. But that darkness was good and necessary for the story, so they needed a character for it. Better Lee than Linda.

Naturally. I mean, they say it was because of too much gay sex, but I'm fairly certain that Sodom and Gamorah were wiped out because none of them were reading Planetary. Yes, Planetary didn't exist back then, but that just sucks for Sodom and Gamorah, doesn't it?

Haha, I didn't actually notice that it never said Linda, I just read Linda where I saw Lin.
