Today’s post is on Supergirl: Being Super by Mariko Tamaki,
Joelle Jones, Sandu Florea and Kelly Fitzpatrick. It is 200 pages long and is published
by DC Comics. The cover has Kara flying upside down with the earth under her
and at the top of the cover. The intended reader is someone likes Supergirl and
comic books. There is no foul language, no sex, and mild violence. The story is
told from third person close of Kara. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- One Girl. Two Worlds, Infinite
Complications.
She's super-strong. She can fly. She crash-landed on Earth in a rocket ship. But for Kara Danvers, winning the next track meet, celebrating her 16th birthday and surviving her latest mega-zit are her top concerns. And with the help of her best friends and her kinda-infuriating-but-totally-loving adoptive parents, she just might be able to put her troubling dreams--shattered glimpses of another world--behind her.
Until an earthquake shatters her small town of Midvale...and uncovers secrets about her past she thought would always stay buried.
Now Kara's incredible powers are kicking into high gear, and people she trusted are revealing creepy ulterior motives. The time has come for her to choose between the world where she was born and the only world she's ever known. Will she find a way to save her town and be super, or will she crash and burn?

Review- In the reboot of Supergirl
there is so much to like about it. Kara is very normal, worried about
her future, about her powers, and about life in general. She felt very real to
me. The plot is about Kara’s powers are not always working, there are
earthquakes happening, and then her best friend dies. In spite of the fast
plot, I felt like I knew Kara and I understand her emotions and motives. She wants to discover who she is, why does
have these powers, and what is going wrong with them. I really liked the art
and that Kara was not sexualized, she is sixteen and that is not needed for the
character or the story.
I give this comic book a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing
for my review and I borrowed this book from my local library.
