This story spans the galaxy as Supergirl and her new companion take off on a journey of revenge/ rescue (trigger warnings and possible spoiler for animal injury/death). While this is certainly an adventure most of the action seems to happen off screen or very quickly in just a few panels which I personally really enjoyed. If you are looking for action on every page maybe not the right book for you right now. It is very wordy which did feel very tedious. Overall, I really liked this book. It was a wild roller coaster of emotions and at times I wasn’t sure if I liked it but it definitely stuck with me and I couldn’t put it down. The artwork was fantastic too. If you are anything like me and can’t handle animal harm or death please check the spoiler before reading.

Satisfying variant of a well known character with a compelling story. The art is amazing and enhances the already strong writing. Really deserves the description of a graphic novel.

"... And in the moment of doubt they will learn, as I have learned, of the legend of Supergirl, who lost everything but kept on walking"

God smiled on earth upon that day this comic was created. I don't have any words right now for I have tears in my eyes. A sci-fi masterpiece humanity did not deserve but got it anyway.

This hit all my boxes: medieval-esque fantasy, strong women, beautiful prose. The story does get a bit long-winded at times but honestly, I read medieval chronicles for uni, I'm used to it (and starting to enjoy it). This was just high quality all around! I did have some issues plot-wise but the conclusion was still nice (though it took me some time to understand, have to admit) and Kara & Ruthye really learned from eachothers experiences.
