Supergirl Vol. 1: The Girl of Steel
Supergirl Vol. 1: The Girl of Steel | Jimmy Palmiotti, Greg Rucka, Joe Kelly, Jeph Loeb, Justin Gray
2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
This now-classic run by Jeph Loeb features the first chapter of Kara Zor-ElÕs triumphant return! When SupermanÕs Kryptonian parents rocketed their infant son to Earth, his aunt and uncle did the same with their young daughter, Kara Zor-El. The two cousins were meant to arrive on Earth together, but instead Kara arrived just a few months ago, after spending decades in space in suspended animation. Now taking the name Supergirl, Kara possesses strength and speed that rivals (or even surpasses) her cousin SupermanÕs. As she searches for her role in this new world, sheÕll cross paths (and trades blows) with the JSA, the Teen Titans and the Outsiders. But while she's facing off against other heroes, SupermanÕs nemesis Lex Luthor has uncovered a truth that could change the Girl of Steel forever! SUPERGIRL VOL. 1: THE GIRL OF STEEL features creators Jeph Loeb, Joe Kelly, Ian Churchill and more. Collects SUPERGIRL #0-10, #12

Absolutely not for me. I love the show on TV but this is so gross and sexist I had to bail immediately. These guys should feel particularly dirty after the super sexualizing they did of a girl that's supposed to be 15-16. Why don't you just draw all the women naked next time and be done with it? Gross. 😡Is there a Supergirl comic out there that's not so male fantasy centered?

queerbookreader Yes check out the New 52 Supergirl series 8y
queerbookreader It's not nearly as bad as this one. I've stayed 100000 ft away from this series it looks so horrible 8y
queerbookreader The new 52 series is her beating the shit out of everyone and everything and that's my jam 8y

Shepherd's pie and Supergirl on a drizzly Thursday afternoon. I have been in a bit of a reading slump after Do Not Say We Have Nothing. Haven't managed to read a book of fiction that has really stuck with me yet. Instead there have been #comics and graphic novels!
How do you get over a reading slump?

Handmade_Redhead I just let it ride and do something else. Eventually a book will pop up that grabs my attention. I listen to a lot of bookish podcasts, so that helps. 8y
ReadingOver50 Try magazines for awhile 8y
Tsubame When I'm in a reading slump I feel as if I'm supposed to be doing other things and so I invest more time in other interests. But one day I inevitably have the urge to go to the bookstore and there a book calls out to me and then I'm out of the slump 😊 8y
Lindy Following up an outstanding book with anything else is hard for me too. I do what @Handmade_Redhead does and catch up on podcasts, or else I read comics. 8y
prowlix I usually try a reread of a favorite or a fast paced suspense/horror to get out of a slump. Really anything you consider a page turner might help. I know romance is another genre people try 8y
