Supergirl: Being Super by Mariko Tamaki

5.0

There aren't many Superfamily stories that interest me but I'll read anything Mariko Tamaki is working on. This is Supergirl's origin story, and it's very similar to the Clark Kent Superman origin story but Tamaki's excellent understanding of characters and ear for dialogue make this much more interesting than any Superman origin I've ever read. It does have a bit of a CW drama feel but it really works with the story, not against it.

I would recommend this for anyone looking for a new superhero title, Supergirl fans looking for a new origin story, people who enjoy female protagonists that actually talk and behave like actual women as opposed to men's fantasies, modern Archie fans who wish Betty was Kryptonian.
