Kara, can you please calm yourself for two damn seconds and not punch everything all the time.

I hadn't heard much about this new Supergirl (good or bad), so I was happily surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did.Kara wakes up after her ship/pod crashes on earth, but without any memory of how she ended up on the ship to start with. She is immediately attacked (or so she thinks) by giant robots speaking a foreign language. The onslaught of her new powers is disorienting, and coupled with her inability to speak our language, she can't figure out what is happening/has happened to her. On...

Great introduction to Supergirl for those who are not familiar with her. The artwork was good and the dialogue was good, but this had a great deal of character development for a first volume. And another plus, it didn't have to sacrifice action for development, because there was a ton of that too. Can't wait to see what else Kara has in store for us.P.S. I don't mean to come off as prude or anything, but I still don't see why her outfit is so skimpy in the genital region. She's supposed to be a

(A-) 80% | Very GoodNotes: Formulaic and fistfight forward, it's intelligently implemented, impact-imbued, and informed by impeccable instinct.

Though not exactly the best comic omnibus I've ever read, I give it four stars because it's vastly superior to the blasphemous version of Supergirl from Peter David. Boy, was I disappointed with that one.

The New 52 reboot presents an updated origin story that doesn't mess with any of the established framework of the character's history, which is good news for fans and those looking for a place of jump on to see what the character is all about.Sadly, despite excellent art, the first collection is a complete letdown. Heavy handed dialogue, a boring and largely unnecessary internal monologue that describes action we can clearly see, and a story that amounts to little more than: Kara arrives, Kara f...

Supergirl, Volume 1: Last Daughter of KryptonWritten by: Michael Green, Mike JohnsonIllustrated by: Mahmud Asrar Well, I’ve read another one of DC’s New 52 comics, and once again, I really enjoyed it. Maybe it’s because I’m still incredibly new to DC's universe and have no basis of comparison, but I just thought this was an interesting origin story.I really didn’t know much about Kara Zor-El (Supergirl), and I have no idea if this origin story is different than her original one, but it works. It...

It had its moment but was typically above average. They could have done a lot more with this origin tale but instead it's just pretty art with a pedestrian telling. OVERALL GRADE: C plus to B minus.

When I started the New 52 line of DC Comics, I had not originally intended to pick up the Superman Family line of collections. But, I am a completist at heart, and it felt wrong to leave one of the world's finest superhero characters out of the mix. (See what I did there?) So, one thing led to another, and I am trying to catch up Superman, Action Comics, and Supergirl.I think this book is going to waver between great and mediocre for a while. How it all plays out,will depend on two things -- fir...

Interesting attempt to give us a peek into the perspective of a confused alien when she shows up on planet Earth and gets attacked by various people. That's the best part of this otherwise passable book. She gets pretty damned angry at Superman when he shows up, and while it's "explained" why, given that the writer has created the scenario in the first place, it's a lame way of showing that she can throw punches and other superpowers against the one "safe" guy that shows she's his equal. BOR-ING...

This wasn't half bad. I mean, it's been tough finding a really GOOD Supergirl story so me saying this isn't bad is a big thing. So New52 basically rebooted most characters and Supergirl is no exception. She comes to earth similar ways of her original origin once more. She lands on earth and is confused on what is happening. The story is basically one big confusion and fight. Kara goes after Clark because she's scared. She hears the truth, and doesn't believe it. Goes into Space to find the truth...

This bind up contains the first six issues of Supergirl (the new 52). This is a really good place to start for someone just getting into comic books, like me. DC Comics discontinued all of there comics in 2011 to create the new 52, a new range of comics starring all of the big superheroes starting from the start of there stories. Supergirl comes to earth in a meteor shower and doesn't have any understanding of what has happened, she meets Superman and promptly punches him in the face. She learns...

Wow, an actual New 52 book that starts at the beginning, for those who don't know the character at all. A mysterious ship crashes in Siberia and from it emerges a girl dressed like Superman. Out of place and instantly attacked, Kara wants to wake up from this dream. Or is it a nightmare?If you don't know her, look no further for a book because this is the perfect introduction to Supergirl. We put ourselves in Kara's shoes as she tries to make sense of where she is and why she suddenly stronger t...

One of the (many) things the new 52 has struggled with is introducing their characters all over again, all the while making sure that the characters keep their essence as they give their origins an update or two or three. Sadly, most writers have not exactly succeeded at this in ways that can make these changes feel organic, but this title may very well be one of the exceptions.Kara's thoughts are refreshing; she's a teenager - and it certainly reads like she's one, thankfully - and she does her...

Dear DC Comics: stop dressing women in such degrading costumes. Period. No arguments allowed. Comply or go away.Not even a luke-warm origin story with minor canonical tweaks can cover up the fact that you have a GIANT RED TRIANGLE pointing to this girl's private parts. It's stupid. There's no excuse for it in this day in age. Just stop. Respect your audience, for gawd's sake! I had heard so much about this New 52 Supergirl, and I was completely underwhelmed by it. She has a couple of new powers

I think that supergirl ( after Wonder Women) is one of the best super heroines. I love the tv show. The BD is great but the adaptaion is even better.When I read this I though that would be similiar to tv show. However is a little diferent. In this version there is no Alex, no Jimmy and no Winn. I love Winn. Why don´t have Winn in the comic? In the other way it have Cat Grant. She is the best. When I began to watch the tv show I love the friendship bettewn Cat and Kara. Also I think that is great...

Just average. I liked it enough to continue the series and enjoyed it more than Superman's New 52 debut but there was just something missing that made it a little lackluster. I love that Kara feels alien but I also want to connect with her and I feel like there wasn't a ton of character development.There were also things tacked on here and there that felt forced, for example, the end fight sequence. The baddies mention that they have put a force field around the city so that Superman cannot inte...

I would like to take the last issue of this book, and show it to all of the people who are ok with the end of 'Man of Steel'. In this book, we see Supergirl, who has just crashed on Earth, and isn't even aware of the fact that she left Krypton. She doesn't even start speaking English by the end of the trade. She is a teenage girl from Krypton looking for answers. She does interact with at least one human that shows her compassion, but otherwise everyone else attacks her, and a few try to exploit...

There are three things that everyone should know about Supergirl going into volume one. One: she has a real name and it's Kara, two: she is Superman's cousin, and three: she kicks ass! Supergirl volume one is part of DC comics The New 52 series. What this means is that it is basically the re-boot of Supergirl. For those reader's like me, who never got into Supergirl, this is her story but with a new twist to it. You don't need to know anything back story of Supergirl because you're starting at t...

Michael Green does a great job of presenting Supergirl as a newcomer to Earth:Kara discovers she has strange new powers (thanks the power of the yellow Sun?? -- yeah, it's a thing), can't speak the language and on top of it all, her nephew (Supes himself) has grown into an adult, if it's truly him at all. Not only that but a creepy billionaire wants to steal her essence, and the beastly WorldKillers from Krypton want her to join their quest or die.Needless to say, it's a pretty stressful day.
