Supergirl (2005-2011) Vol. 1: The Girl of Steel Kindle & comiXology

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 178 ratings

This now-classic run by Jeph Loeb features the first chapter of Kara Zor-El's triumphant return!

When Superman's Kryptonian parents rocketed their infant son to Earth, his aunt and uncle did the same with their young daughter, Kara Zor-El. The two cousins were meant to arrive on Earth together, but instead Kara arrived just a few months ago, after spending decades in space in suspended animation.

Now taking the name Supergirl, Kara possesses strength and speed that rivals (or even surpasses) her cousin Superman's. As she searches for her role in this new world, she'll cross paths (and trades blows) with the JSA, the Teen Titans and the Outsiders. But while she's facing off against other heroes, Superman's nemesis Lex Luthor has uncovered a truth that could change the Girl of Steel forever!

SUPERGIRL VOL. 1: THE GIRL OF STEEL features creators Jeph Loeb, Joe Kelly, Ian Churchill and more.

    The beginning of my favorite Supergirl comic series compiled into a very nice graphic novel. Good color. High quality pages. Not difficult to read the bits that are in the center, bound to the spine of the book. Big fan of the way this graphic novel is put together.

    These are good stories and the art is terrific, but be warned: You are embarking on a very explicit, cosplay/stripper version of the female characters. Every frame is extremely provocative with regard to the female form and just this side of an R rating. That said, it's well written and does a good job of presenting Supergirl as a "15 or 16" year old coming of age on Earth.

    The artwork for this comic is legendary. I also really like that a lot of the cover art was made by Michael Turner so it definitely feels like it picks up right after "Superman/Batman vol 2 : Supergirl"

    2.0 out of 5 stars A poor showing for DC's Maid of Might
    Reviewed in Canada on May 13, 2020
    The first few stories feature the Superman family of characters being jerks to one another reason on very flimsy pretexts for the sake of cheap drama and to keep the titular character apart from them. Throughout the volume the hypersexualization of the 15-16 year old character is deeply off putting and unsettling. Would not recommend.
