    The Pop Break - Sheena Fisher Aug 30, 2017

    This annual was fun. There were a lot of reveals, Emerald Empress shares exactly why she is trying to bring down Supergirl. We learn more about Indigo, and theres some insane things leading into issue 13. The writers have been good with mixing story and action. They have also been good with making you care a lot for Kara as shes going through this weird change with her powers. Pick up the annual and judge for yourself. My rating 8.5/10. Read Full Review

    On Comics Ground - Charlie Wylie Aug 30, 2017

    The annual is good and continues the story from the main book. The only reason I docked points was because of the art. The art has been up and down with this series. Read Full Review

    The art is fine. Pugh's page layouts are slick with different panel sizes and shapes helping the story flow. So what did you all think? Am I just grumpy? Read Full Review

    Black Nerd Problems - Jordan Calhoun Aug 30, 2017

    Overall though, Supergirl Annual #1 is a fun, fast read, and The Girl of No Tomorrow arc is thin, but solid. Look forward to seeing how this one concludes. Read Full Review

    IGN - Blair Marnell Aug 31, 2017

    This is a gorgeously rendered comic, with great action and excellent figure work. It's hard to ask for more than this from a superhero book, and the art itself is the biggest asset of the annual Read Full Review

    Newsarama - Matthew Sibley Aug 31, 2017

    The general idea is strong, the action has weight and Orlando's characterization of Kara is a joy, particularly with how she responds to family, but it also feels like it's one script pass away from attaining the heights it should be soaring at. Read Full Review

    DC Comics News - Danny Saab Aug 30, 2017

    It was a decent story, albeit not very original. The art was great though, and the issue leaves us on a rather interesting cliff-hanger, and a possible moral dilemma for Kara. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Jim Werner Aug 30, 2017

    Steve Orlando continues his "Emerald Eradication" story and while we get to see a bit of the big picture, it's presented in a convoluted mess of a story.  The art is okay, but there is nothing here that I can recommend to anyone but the most loyal Supergirl fans.  I am one of those and I'm still looking for the exit.

    Reveals info about the villains, but seems to twiddle its thumbs for much of this extra sized issue. Read Full Review

    A very dumb story. Why the hell the Fatal five didn't stick together ? At lest Magog who was nowhere to be found before Selene teleport herself & him in close range to Dr Veritas base. I didn't understand this new Indigo. She turn against Grundy but seems to be against Supergirl too. I find dumb that Emerald empress didn't kill Chase. And I was not interested by Selene attacking Kat Grant. And Saturne Girl is not in this story & I brought it hoping to see her.
    The art is not bad, but not very good, but I like the fact that their find have something of a little comic.
    The cover is nice even if that wasn't the encounter promised that we see inside.
