This issue was great. The book is always great but I really liked this one for the intro of the Judge and the Kara/Bleez scenes. If Soule's busy schedule ever takes him off Red Lanterns it's going to be a big loss for DC.
As much as I think Tony Bedard is doing a decent job on Supergirl right now, it's going to be a real stretch for him to try and live up to this book. Red Lanterns is so damn good every month and it makes the Supergirl book look pretty ordinary by comparison now that they're running in parallel. He'd better pull out all the stops next issue, because right now for a Supergirl fan this is the essential book to be reading, with her own more of a satellite to the main attraction. That is the real risk of Red Daughter of Krypton lasting too long - Supergirl itself would become a redundant read. Once they get this story to a decent and worthwhile conclusion they should give a little denouement in #34 in August, and then start something unique in October after Future's End month. If it can't maintain its own identity and all her good moments are happening under Lemire's pen in JL United where has eight other characters to work with, then I can't see the readership holding up.
