Great ending! I hope Supergirl return in a new series, maybe with the Legion of Superheroes, or maybe with Krypto and her friend Z'ndr (that's a good and funny arc).

The best issue of this run, we finally have at least half an issue that has a proper Supergirl in it.
I'm happy that this terrible run ended a bit better than it started (and continued and continued).
I saw someone mention in the comments that the writer had no control over their run. It seems on par with the DC horror story coming from Mairghread Scott recently.
DC can't treat their women employees or female titles with respect it seems. No wonder that almost only male writers and male titles remain.
Judging by Houser avoiding all Supergirl questions in her AMA she has probably been given a gag order regarding Supergirl from DC. It would be interesting to hear her side of this story one day.
Until then we can only accept that this was a trainwreck and that DC has properly made away with every single female Super while the male ones prosper. more

I see what Jody tried to accomplish in this issue, bringing back Kara's old fears and foes, but it feels more chaotic and disorganized that it probably should have been for its own good. It's a decent story, albeit not one I'd call well executed, which was a long running problem with Supergirl's series to begin with. Writer after writer, they didn't know what to do with her, how to deveop her further, where to send her.
Let's hope Supergirl will find a place in a good story where she can shine. Her team-up with Batwoman could be exactly that. As for her solo series, maybe it's for the best to take a break and return with a bang in the future, when someone knows what to do with the character.

Supergirl limps across the finish line at last and does so with as much grace as one might hope — which at this point isn't much really. Writer, artist, and protagonist all deserved better than the editorially-mandated flavorless mush that they were given to work with. Maybe this book's failure will teach DC to treat its female creators and characters with more respect in the future... but I'm not holding my breath.

A rushed and bad ending to a comic that I might have missed once, long ago.

This was just terrible. From the writing, to the art. I don't blame the writer because she was given absolutely nothing to work with, but goddamn am I glad this is over.
