Synopsis: Kara arrives back on earth to find that the DEO and other agencies have been attacked by Leviathan and Eliza is believed to be dead. Kara reunites with Jeremiah and the two are attacked by Leviathan, who tries to recruit Kara to the cause. Eliza is relieved to be with Leviathan and Kara leaves when she hears the alarm in the Fortress of Solitude going off. We get what happened in Batman/Superman Vol. 1 where Kara gets infected by the Batman Who Laughs joker toxin.
From there, Kara actually tries to continue being a hero, though she isn't nice and goes about it in harsh ways. Bruce and Clark think that it's possible that it's affecting her differently since it was meant for Clark. The two send Wonder Woman in to, I don't know, beat some sense into Supergirl? Kara and Diana have a long ass fight scene where this army lady with Kryptonite weapons named Commander Bane tries to capture (kill?) Kara. Kara eventually flies to the sun, hoping it will heal her of the infection. It doesn't.
I'm assuming this is where Dark Nights: Death Metal would take place because Kara is no longer infected in the next issue. The last two issues revolve around the army lady from before. Her and Kara have a fight and army lady sees Kara is actually a good guy and leaves. Kara concludes that she didn't come to earth to be human, but she is choosing to stay.
Review: What a stinker for Supergirl to go out on. I'm beginning to wonder if anyone at DC Comics could give two shits about her because there is no effort put into these issues at all. The writing is bleh, the art is bleh and the story is who-could-care. The Leviathan thing never comes back around or is mentioned so I'm wondering if it gets addressed in Event Leviathan. I'm so confused as to how Dark Night: Death Metal lines up with Leviathan.
Anyway, there's a whole issue in Kara's head where we are back on Krypton and it's all bullshit. I can't stand "they're stuck in their own head" storylines. It felt like it was wasteful. Then there's that fight scene with Wonder Woman that goes on for three issues, I swear. It's not an engaging battle either, just them prattling off at each other about who Kara really is. Boring.
The last two issues were extra disappointing. It seemed like they tried to do something by having Kara have these hallucinations of most of the villains that have shown up since rebirth, but it falls flat and uninspired. This was the last volume until it comes back to inevitability in the future and I think they could have tried a little harder. Kara deserves better.
It's good she has Krypto, I guess.
