A unique tale in the lore of Supergirl, that feels like the kind of high fantasy/sci-fi you’d find in Heavy Metal.
This book made me think a lot about who Supergirl is as a character, how she’s similar to Clark and how she’s different. Kara and Clark feel like a matched set, which nothing against that, I love it even, but King worked hard to show Kara’s values and personality separate from Clark and Superman. I really liked it.
The art was absolutely gorgeous. Kara has the looks of a silent film star, and I thought it might be jarring considering the high fantasy of the plot but it worked really well!
All in all, a very enjoyable book in the Supergirl canon.
