Supergirl Book One
On sale Oct 25, 2016
Collects Supergirl #1-9, Supergirl Plus #1 [content warning*], Supergirl Annual #1 [three dark and depressing stories, published prior to the series], and a prelude story from Showcase ’96 #8, first published 1996-1997.
In this 1990s reimagining of the Girl of Steel, Lex Luthor’s synthetic creation “Matrix”—who mimics Superman’s powers—merges with human girl Linda Danvers to create a new Supergirl! So why does everyone believe she’s dead? And what is the secret behind Linda Danvers’ evil past?
*Content warning for the main “Supergirl Plus” story: includes a vaguely implied sexual assault of Mary Marvel by a cop followed by victim blaming, presented as a “he said she said, who can say?” that was infuriating to read back in 1996. Skip this story. The shorter backup story featuring Mattie is fine.
