I feel like in many ways this book has benefitted the most from New Krypton. The event brought new readers and gave the character a lot to do and react to

I still can't believe that of all the books I picked up this week, this was the one I read first. THIS BOOK IS AWESOME!! I never thought I would say that about Supergirl!!! I'm glad I started picking this up because this is a fantastic read!

Awesome read, runner up to pick of the week for me. Igle's art was stunning here. The two page spread of reaction striking Kara mid-air has such motion to it. The pages of Supergirl tackling the cape by itself had great sense of action and some really nice perspective work. Really, blown away. Jamal Igle is really deserving of wider recognition sadly, alot of readers have no clue who he is.
Storywise, this was good not alot to the issue, primarily a fight, but the reveal was nice (I called it!). Gates really has been doing an impressive job on rehabing this title. Great read, 5/5.

@RoiVampire I did, about two posts below yours! Granted I say I wasn't so sure because of the timing of the issue, but I was rather certain it was her until the fake out. :-p

This was right on the edge of my pick of the week if just simply for the Batman moments. I love it that Sterling Gates reminded us of how Batman not only was there for her origin but how he trained her. Have to say I saw the reveal coming from the General Lane "I know who you are" moment.
