Supergirl is a character that should be able to benefit from the DC reboot. Being able to completely forget one of the most convoluted backstories for any character ever is nothing but a plus. She's been rebooted so many times, it's beyond ridiculous. So what's one more? This one puts us as the reader in the same boat as Kara; where the heck are we? Kara crash lands to Earth with no idea she's not even on Krypton anymore. As she struggles with her confusion, we're introduced to a plethora of her powers. It's by far, one of the best set ups of these new DC books. The art is a real treat. We can actually believe Kara is a SuperGIRL, not a woman. She looks young in a very real life way. The colors really explode from the page. A lot of these rebooted books have had a very muted color scheme, which I don't feel fit most of the books. Almost detracts from a lot of the art. But here, the color expands on the world Kara now finds herself in. This is definitely a perfect companion book to Superboy.
