"EMERALD ERADICATION" finale! It's the final showdown between Supergirl and Emerald Empress. Supergirl's life has been torn asunder and she's not going to let Emerald Empress get away with it. But is it too late to repair the damage and remain the hero she's built herself to be?
The best Supergirl issue since the launch of Rebirth. We finally get a Supergirl that's mature and stands for what Supergirl should stand for. Superman can stand for Truth, Justice and the American Way, but what makes Kara Zor-El unique is that she loves everyone, and like she said in this issue, "Compassion means not picking and choosing who you care about, even if you fear them." If you're going to only pick up one Supergirl Rebith issue, makes sure it's this one. Read Full Review
Look, for me this was a near perfect ending to things. I wanted to see more of Kara in school and at CatCo. I wondered how she could be active so much with the DEO and not have those parts of her life suffer. I have never been a fan of Zor-El as the Cyborg and wondered how he could ever be used moving forward; now I don't have to worry. We have a Cat Grant sort of attacking Supergirl ... shades of the Gates/Igle run. And we have the DEO looming in the background as an adversary now. The parts I want to see more of are teed up. The parts I wanted to see less of are pushed on the back burner or eliminated. It sort of feels like a whole new chapter is about to occur. Read Full Review
Easy to read that has you captured in the storyline. Kara is dealing with certain struggles as she still tries to save National City from the Fatal Five. Artwork and story work well together and present an excellent comic. Read Full Review
The biggest detraction from the issue is the clunky and over-used dialogue from the people of National City as they represent the struggle of public opinion against Supergirl. Overall though, one of the best issues to date leads to the highest anticipation I have felt in this series. Not from a cliff-hanger, but by the prospects of the new life Supergirl will live after fallout from The Girl of No Tomorrow. A lot is changed, and those changes posit new and more interesting challenges for Kara Danvers. After a long, rocky start, I hope the series flies from here. Read Full Review
This series is shaping up to be one of the best Supergirl runs ever. Orlando is doing a fantastic job and if you are a Supergirl fan you should be picking this book up. Read Full Review
It's nice that the annual played a part in the story line leading into issue 13. It's also nice to have some closure on some characters, villains mainly. And, something pretty tragic happens in this issue that I didn't go into because huge spoiler guys. I really hope you pick this one up at your local comic shop. Lots of turning points happen for our main characters that I didn't even touch on. Things are looking bright for Supergirl's future. For now, at least. Read Full Review
“The Girl of No Tomorrow” story line comes to an end with Supergirl #13 as she battles to save National City and herself. Orlando continues to show Supergirl's undying optimism even when the very people she protects start to turn against her. This battle may be close to over but her troubles are far from over, Supergirl's life is going to change forever after the events of this Issue, some for the better and others will make her life much, much worse!

But Supergirl #13 represents and end to current events, and promises a new start for Supergirl #14. Her world is turned upside down, in ways a heroshould never experience. But that just ups the ante for the Girl of Steel. Perhaps its a good time for casual fans to take a closer look. Read Full Review
There was a lot to like about the first year of this title, but this change of direction already feels unfocused and unsatisfying. Read Full Review
After all the setup, Steve Orlando ends the Emerald Eradication arc in a very forced and convoluted way. The issue looked good, but the story was confusing at points and laughable at others. Supergirl and her fans deserve better. Read Full Review
I didn't like this arc at all. The ending was way to easy. This cover spoil a lot, but a least I have the variant with the cat.
I did like the intervention of Kara's father, and the fact that the Director of the DEO change (For a face I know).
I was surprised by was Mr Oz did.
The art was not my kind of art, but wasn't bad. Just this story wasn't what I expect at all.
