Supergirl

Supergirl (#65/February'02") saves the Deaf school but after reading it, it seems to reinforce our misconceptions, nothing new here, you know what I mean like being lipreaders and all that stuff, anyway the comic treated deafness as a birth defect, blaming it on a chemical plant. The school livelihood is dependent on the settlement won in a lawsuit to keep it operational, but the defendants' lawyers kept on filing appeals after appeals to avoid taking responsibilities for the environment disaster. Supergirl steps in enlisting her friends to protest, does it sounds familiar, against the plant, creating media attention. The storyline, forget it, a disappointment.
