Huh. I’d not heard the Official Story of the Supes/FA link. Interesting.

Also interstingly, even though I enjoyed the original DC FA series, I’ve not been as fond of the IDW one. I don’t know if it’s all the Secrets Revealed or the painted art is distracting or what. I’m still reading (and will continue to do so — a big David fan myself), but …

… well, I miss David’s Supergirl most of all.

Hmm… I wonder if the Supergirl connection would’ve been realized, had the move to IDW not taken place.

By the way, I’m quite fond of “Many Happy Returns.”

I didn’t collect the book very much before that point, but I’m glad I jumped on-board when I did.

It’s kinda hard to say why, but it’s really fun. (I’m gonna hafta come up with something more substantive, at some point, though.)

Peter David finally explained the Supergirl/Fallen Angel connection in the intro to the first IDW book. The concept of Fallen Angel was based on plans he had for Linda Danvers after Supergirl #80. When he used the ideas in Fallen Angel, he kept her origin ambiguous, and played up the possible Supergirl connection mainly for publicity, figuring it would get more people to take a look at the book. He wrote that he always had a "backup" origin in mind, and decided the move to IDW was a good time to pick one and tell the story. I never got into Supergirl, though I read a couple of crossover issues when I was reading Young Justice. I keep meaning to pick up "Many Happy Returns," but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I never got into that series. I think I gave it a flip, once or twice, but I wasn’t interested in trying to figure out if it was a character I did (Supergirl) or didn’t (some new character) care about.

But I’m a David fan.
