Supergirl Vol. VI

review 1: This book was the perfect example of how the story arc can suffer when a crossover begins. The first two trades showed Supergirl's ongoing development, and began exposing this interesting and complex Kryptonian backstory, which her father's manipulations played a large role. Then you have this h'el on earth crossover with the other Superman books, and each issue abruptly starts in a different scene, leaving without any clue of what happened in other issues. Sometimes, in trades that are collecting a single series, an explanation for what has happened in other books is stuck in between each chapter in the trade. That wasn't the case with this book. I do like the New 52 Supergirl better than any other version of the character I have seen. I look forward to future trades, I... more just hope there aren't more issues that are part of a multi-book crossover.
review 2: Supergirl Volume 3 continues the story of Kara, her struggle of being on earth, and dealing with Krypton having been destroyed. So when a man gives her the option of bringing back Krypton and restoring it, even when others are telling her not to, why would she say no? She doesn't. All of volume three of Supergirl deals with Kara making the decision to attempt to restore Krypton, even if it means losing people and things that she cares about. I thought that this was a good direction for Kara to go in and that the writers have made an interesting choice, showing that unlike Clark, Kara will not always make the right decision just because it's right. Kara, like so many woman before her, gets seduced by a nice man with a pretty face (even though he looks purely evil) and because of this combined with him saying everything she wants to believe in she doesn't make the smartest choices. What I loved about this volume was exactly that. They gave Kara a side to herself that most women have had and dealt with before. Of course she sees the error of her ways(like other women as well) and makes things right. I am very interested to see what volume four has in store for Kara and how she is going to deal with the things to come. less
