When DC relaunched their comics in September, they set up the schedule for specific titles to be released on certain weeks. For example, every third week of the month, DC publishes some of the best comics on its slate: "Batman," "Wonder Woman" and "Supergirl." That's some pretty stiff competition "Supergirl" faces from her own company each and every month. However, this comic delivers right alongside those others and this issue is a perfect example of why. It's the conclusion to a story that's been going on for a few issues, but everything you need to know about the character and her predicament is right here. You owe it to yourself to check out this great book releasing every third week of the month. Read Full Review

Unfortunately, there's not much in the way of a conclusion, with Green and Johnson instead opting to give those last few pages to Reign's "I will be back" speech. If the writing and artwork stay as consistent as they have through this point, Supergirl might just become one of the 'must read' books from the 'New 52.' Read Full Review

Supergirl is a book I look forward to reading every month. Strongly written and beautifully depicted, this is a comic that redefines Supergirl for a new generation. I'm sold on the new Kara Zor-El, and I'm sold on Mike Johnson and Mike Green. And I look forward to seeing what they have in store for Supergirl. Read Full Review

In the end, it's Asrar's work that really sells the issue. Watching Kara truly let loose with her powers is a sight to behold; the heat blast that she unleashes on Perrilus is gorgeously rendered, heightened by the colors of Dave McCaig. In addition, Asrar gets to shine in other similar scenes that showcase Supergirl in action. For instance, a two-panel page that shows her getting blasted through multiple buildings and landing (hard) in the streets below is simple but gorgeous. The composition is stellar and the positioning of Kara's body allows the reader to feel the impact of the blow. Hopefully the narrative can begin to work its way back toward what made it so strong in the early issues; coupled with Asrar's level of work in this issue, there's no doubt in my mind that Supergirl has the potential to be one of the strongest books at DC.

A rather bland way to finish up this new Supergirl's second arc, but at least it leaves her free to pursue whatever future she wishes from here on out. Read Full Review

After a slew of really good issues, this one was definitely a bit of a misfire, but that's okay, as long as Michael Green and Mike Johnson right the ship(which I'm confident they will) next issue. Read Full Review

It took seven, 7, SEVEN, issues to get to this point, and that is just unacceptable. We've seen Supergirl interact with Reign more than she did with Superman (who, by the way, we still don't know why he had to rush off from her). We've been given major villains out of nowhere (OK, from Krypton) and no cohesive direction for the character. She saved NYC, some would say. To that the response would be, “so what.” What is she going to do now? On this earth, there is no true purpose for Supergirl and after seven issues, nothing has been done to address that. It appears that you should never let structure get in the way of not only a good story, but also a bad one. Read Full Review

It is heart-warming to see how Kara has evolved in just a handful of issues. She has met her cousin, come to terms with her parents' and her civilisation's deaths, she has started mastering her own powers, and now she has finally passed her metaphorical trial. However, the ending and conclusion are a bit rushed for my taste, and with such a fast evolution, I'm wondering how many issues this title will be able to deliver before it runs out of steam.
