Is this the issue in which Superwoman's identity is revealed?

I thought it was already...

Middleton is a wicked illutrator.

Superwoman has been revealed? Who is she? Alicia Keys?

@Conor: I don't think so, unless I missed something. In the last issue she proved immune to kryptonite, and suggested that she wasn't Kryptonian to explain her immunity. But for me, who until recently wasn't a big DC guy and so may not know something important, her identity is still a mystery.

I have a pretty good theory as to who it might be and i hope i'm right just to see how the pull it off

So spill it. Who do you think it is?

I don't wanna spoil it if it is true, hit me up on aim or twitter and i'll tell you who and the reason. same screen name on here as on aim and twitter

@JonSamuelson: Oh, that's right - the Kryptonite thing. So then she's not the security chief.

i'm guessing Maxima but i'm probably wrong

@ saturnmda: That would be SO AWESOME if it was Maxima!

I thought the security chief (Thara Ak-Var) was Flamebird?
Posted by WadeWilson on 03/18/09 at 01:49 AM
@wadewilson- yeah, she is flamebird. i was guessing she was superwomen up until last week when i saw that she was flambird.

Ok since everyone is throwing their guesses out i'm guessing it's lois's sister. and i'm guessing lex and the body of doomsday have something to do with her having powers

Jesus, 5.8? I need to pick this up!

A good issue. Contender for my POW, but it didn't blow me away. I have to say, I was sure it was Lucy Lane but now I'm not so sure. Good writing, great art (Love Igle!)
Really, I have nothing else to say about the title.

I liked this issue too, action, drama & good art. I'd like to see Talent Caldwell draw all 22 pages, his pages were NICE.
I have no idea who Superwoman is, but this issue suggests she may still be Kryptonian (the talk about the suit) But, my random guess of the week (so I can say I told you so) is Ma Kent.
@RoiVampire - Which sister?

If you had told me a year ago that one of the most consistently good books DC was putting out would be Supergirl I would have laughed in your face. I am glad that you did not, so I did not, so my teeth are crow-feather free.

superwoman has got to be lucy lane.

I'm excited for the next installment of my favorite book to come out of New Krypton. Gates has been impressing me since his debut on Sinestro Corps war. Yay!
