Supergirl #1: Going back to your hometown can be bad enough but, what happens when you arrive and someone has taken up your identity leaving even your own parents unknowing of who you are?
Creative Team:
Sophie Campbell (WRITER, ARTIST, and COVER) Tamra Bonvillain (COLORS) Becca Carey (LETTERS)
*SPOILERS AHEAD*
The Story:
Sophie brings a whole new tale of Kara into this world of DC All In. I enjoyed how Kara has been struggling to leave her cousins shadow and has been battling to create her own name for herself. It can be a story that we relate to in real life especially when it comes to Kara now up against needing to reclaim herself from an imposter.
The inner struggle she faces is a great plot point and then as someone who has moved away from their hometown, I could relate to returning to where you’re from. This story brings a lot of relatability to someone with the power of a god and is why it pulled me in right off the bat.
The Art and Letters:
Sophie is doing some overtime as she also is handling the artwork with the help of Tamra who is on colors. The costume and the changes in Kara’s looks show a variety of artwork talent. With the coloring, this issue is vibrant and shows off a lot of detail with its blues, reds, greens, and more. There is a blend of action and then when we see Kara return to her home the changes in expressions from the joy of a childhood friend to pure fear and shock. Becca is adding depth to these characters and the fear in their voices when it comes to the lettering.
Overall Grade: 9/10
Supergirl #1 is a powerful introduction to this new series making this god-like hero feel relatable in terms of returning to her hometown. This run has my interest and I am excited to see where it leads!
