![]() ![]() She is a child who watched her father die and now wants revenge. In some respects, as a narrator Ruthye works rather well. The low point of the book is probably Ruthye’s narration. ![]() I also love the interior journey readers get to see, with the book exploring Kara’s backstory and the way she carries the burden of watching her planet die (unlike Superman, who left as a baby). ![]() I did care, however, not only about the way she travels the universe hoping to save worlds, often stopping for small bits of kindness that do mean the world. Is Supergirl not supposed to drink or something? Too gritty? I can’t say I care. To that end, I can say confidently that I enjoyed Supergirl’s characterization and was intrigued by her journey. Since I cannot really compare Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow to other iterations of the hero, I must assess the book on its own merits. The only thing I heartily disliked is the vague ending, primarily because having a vague ending risks undoing all the work of the previous issues. What I do know is that Kara’s kindness and compassion still shine through in this story–the supposed edginess seems like a mere ploy to get readers interested in the title. From vague snippets I have heard from other readers and read online, apparently this version of Supergirl pushes the boundaries and is supposed to explore a new, more “grown-up” version of the superhero. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is, I think, my second Supergirl comic! I realize that this might be a controversial choice. ![]()
