Thank You Marv Wolfman and Phil Winslade

For the gift of The Brave and the Bold #17.

This issue includes both Supergirl and my personal favorite, Raven.

Kara is having problems with her dreams ever since she found out that her dad planted her on Earth to kill Kal-El (Superman) and the entire human population. So, she goes to Nightwing, who she has a crush on, and he points her to Raven.

They really do have a lot in common (terrible fathers, supposed to be killers, trying to do good...).

Anyway, Raven takes the Girl of Steel to Azarath, her home dimension, where the girl is put in a trance to help with her mind and stuff XD

All the time this is happening, some activist at a college goes on a killing spree with his creepy and mysterious powers. This all somehow revolves around his father, who we don't know.

So, he kills people and Raven and the monks of Azarath feel it, but they can't take Supergirl out of her trance just yet.

I do have to say two things that were bad about this issue.

1) The whole subplot of the kid going on a killing spree...not as exciting as it sounds. I tried to read it, but mostly flipped through those sections.

2) There wasn't much of a climax. Huh. Maybe next issue...?

All in all, this was DC heaven. I loved the art, as I usually do with this series. The Brave and the Bold is a good series in the same way that the Rann-Thanagarian Holy War is a bad series.

It just is.
