I have been critical of Kings writing in the past, be it the meandering Heroes in. Crisis or the seemingly going noewhere of Batman Catwoman. Yet this book, purchased as a guilty pleasure has been, for me, his best work. Evley's art makes you want to plough through the book, yet Kings wordy script means you have to spend time on each page, which makes you appreciate the art even more; a true creative symbiotic relationship that allows the reader to fully immerse themselves into the this run.

Bilquis Evely delivers some fantastic art on every page of this issue. The art style is beautifully detailed and delivers on the epic scale of the story and the personal nature of its characters. Read Full Review

Without a doubt, I believe this is the best Supergirl story ever told. Tom King, Bilquis Evely, Matheus Lopes and Clayton Cowles have created a masterpiece with Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. With beautiful art and masterful writing, one would be remiss to not pick up this series whether in single issue form or when it eventually comes out in graphic novel form! Read Full Review

Tom King's books are almost unfailingly brilliant, but one thing they'll never be accused of is being a feel-good experience. After seven issues with Supergirl and her young companion Ruthye, we've seen a darker version of the DCU's space frontier than ever before. Read Full Review

It's not easy ending stories, which is probably why so many continue on as if the adventure may never end. Here though, King and Evely have captured the essence of a life well lived, and how we can become blinded by things that don't actually matter in the grand scheme of things. This issue delivers a satisfactory resolution while adding to both Ruthye and Supergirl's journeys. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow shows how a life well lived is itself justice in the face of the injustices we experience. Read Full Review

While Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #8 isn't the best issue of the series, it is not far off the pace. It's really just some of the technical aspects of King's ending, because the content works wonderfully, connecting the reader to both Ruthye and Kara. As expected, the art is as stunning as ever and gives the reader a taste of what could come for Kara in her future. While the series connects the reader with the frailties of the human psyche, it also offers hope and the satisfaction of persevering through the difficult moments in life while revealing one's own inner strength.

A satisfying conclusion to a True Grit homage starring Kara Zor-El, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #8 doubles down on all that has made this series interesting, from the confessional lyrical scripting to the absolutely stunning sci-fi artwork. Read Full Review

As a story, the eight issues of Supergirl - Woman of Tomorrow make for a deep and weirdly concise look at loss, love, murder, anger, and retribution. Theres one hell of a lot going on in the series, but Kings conclusion almost feels too tidy in the uneasiness of its own ending. It almost feels like the whole thing would have been better-served ending five pages early before its final scene. It poses more problems than it solves. Better to end it on a distant beach with the three central characters and the resolution in the heat of the moment. Read Full Review

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #8 ends the latest Tom King experiment with a bait-and-switch ending, misery, suffering, and lies. Of course, this is a Tom King series, so it's to be expected. That said, the art is exquisite, and if nothing else, you'll be happy with the visuals. Read Full Review

The art is stunning. The art has somehow made this more palatable than it should be. But this isn't Supergirl, at least not how I think of her. And now I fear we won't be seeing Supergirl for a bit. Read Full Review
