As a part of the acclaimed DC Comics - The New 52 event of September 2011, meet Supergirl. She's got the unpredictable behavior of a teenager, the same powers as Superman - and none of his affection for the people of Earth. Crash landing on a strange new planet, Supergirl must come to grips with Krypton's destruction with her cousin Superman and learn about her own recent past. But an ingenious new foe wants that same information - and will do anything to get it.
Supergirl, Vol. 1 presents an all-new take on the Superman's cousin Kara, and her standing in the DC Comics - New 52 universe!
SUPERGIRL VOL. 1: THE LAST DAUGHTER OF KRYPTON collects SUPERGIRL # 1-7 and is made up of two separate story arcs. The first begins with Kara Zol-El's pod crashing in the Siberian wilderness. Confused and disoriented, she is immediately attacked by soldiers, though she has no idea what they want with her or even what they're saying to her. The final three issues feature her struggle against the Worldkillers, four super-powered beings from her homeworld of Krypton. Of the two story arcs, the second is stronger and moves at a quicker pace, but the first does a solid job of laying the groundwork for the character while introducing a potential archnemisis.
