If you’ve been enjoying the Supergirl TV series you’re in luck. DC Comics is launching a Supergirl Rebirth one shot and a Supergirl recurring title.
I watched Supergirl (originally on CBS and now moved to the CW) fully expecting to not like it. After a few episodes I found myself moving it up on my DVR priority list. I was looking forward to seeing Kara save National City each week while maintaining her secret identity. There were a lot of great super-hero/villain cameos, but not so many that it felt overdone.
A lot of the name dropping and easter eggs were not apparent to folks without a comic book background.
I have high hopes the comic is as successful as the TV show. I will definitely be picking it up off the shelf and giving it a read. I hope you do the same.
