I think I am just a sucker for graphic novels. Just wish these were longer.

I liked it. It felt pretty realistic about how she would have reacted.

I like the tidbit about Clark sounding like he learned Kryptonian from a textbook. That was neat.

A quick and enjoyable read. I'm a little disappointed in her reception on earth and the introduction of two villains right off the bat.

Rote. Paint by numbers for comics. At least her outfit was good, or at least it wasn't worse.

Read for Graphic Novel group at the store. This was OK, for me. The art didn't knock my socks off and two Big Bads in one trade arc leaves too many weird loose ends. Good way to introduce Supergirl - am interested in where DC is taking the character in the next issues of New 52.

I liked it! It’s got a lot to recommend it. It gives us some mysteries, some new characters, and let’s Kara be a badass right off the bat without letting her cousin define her. It’s got the origin and first appearance of Reign and the Kryptonian Worldkillers. Compare it to the first Rebirth volume, which makes her a kid with fake parents who are cops, and this comes our way ahead.

mola mucho, es una supergirl diferente a lo que estoy acostumbrada (soy carne de televisión), pero me ha gustado mucho. lo que no ha acabado de convencerme ha sido esa retirada de los worldkillers tan precipitada al final...veremos como sigue la cosa en próximos tomos...

I'm digging the New 52 because it's an easy starting point. The first volume of Supergirl lays everything out clearly: Kara's crash-landing on Earth, the addition of her solar-powered superpowers, her first meeting with Superman, Krypton's destruction. Lots of fighting, lots of angst. Kara still can't speak anything but Kryptonian by the end of the collection, which is a nice realistic touch. The bottom of her costume is cut stupidly, but I don't think that's Kara's fault.

Last Daughter of Krypton was a good introduction to a character I didn't know much about. Superman has never really been my favorite, despite all my Lois and Clark and Smallville viewings, so I wasn't sure I'd like Supergirl as a character, but I did like this collection, overall, and I'll keep reading.
