A good comedic issue. Much like Mxy's appearance on Superman: TAS with a little Mythbusters thrown in to trip us up. The writing seemed a little hurried, but overall it was a good read.
Also, I like that Mxy in this version has David Bowie eyes. Nice touch on the part of the artist.

This issue was a great little madcap romp. I do think you could have slowed down the pace a little, maybe spent more time on the things Supergirl was doing during the mythbusters segment. But overall it was a lot of fun. Mxy's like a non-murderous superpowered Joker here, zipping around doing things cause they're funny and messing with people because he can. Kara was nice and bright in getting rid of him, and really, the bluntness of the ending worked well after so much rushing around. Can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve for next time

Man James, this might be my favorite thing I've ever read of yours. Absolutely brilliant. I liked how you tied this one into the last issue, you're really starting to build up a really fun, really exciting series and I hope it continues soon.
Unlike some of the other commentators, I actually liked to rapid-fire pace here and thought it served the issue incredibly well. It was a non-stop, rapid fire assault, just like you would expect Mxy to be - an omnipresent, threatening and beyond all else - an excessively annoying challenge that won't go away to the point of suffocation. You can feel Kara's frustration throughout, and can share in her relief at the issue's end, while at the same time, look forward to his return.
The Rudy Jones segments were very effective in breaking up the main story and I thought did an effective job in slowing the action of the issue down a little so that Mxy remained simply annoying to the characters, not to the reader.
Leslie continues to be another of the great in small doses characters you work with here, in this story you really put her through the ringer a bit, and I like that you're drawing her whole storyline out and giving us a sense of her general shtick.
The Mythbusters segment was really a nice touch, nice to see that you're bringing some of your other interests into the series since it does seem very inspired by the animated DCAU incarnation.
All in all, another killer effort, can't wait for more of this one, it's a real joy.
