Summary: Finally....the Girl of Steel as she should be!
Review: Supergirl was always been a misunderstood comics character, not only with the public, but with many creators over the years who unjustly made her out to be a lightweight. But acclaimed writer Peter David not only brings back the Girl of Steel's long lost essence, he thrusts her into a contemporary setting that's as mysterious as it is thought-provoking. Gary Frank and Cam Smith's art compliment with a dark landscape that sparkles with surreal energy.

Summary: The first 5 or so issues of the comic book.
Review: The first 5 or so issues of the comic book, explaining the mystery of Linda Danvers/Supergirl. This is not the movie novelization or the movie adaptation made by DC with the release of all DC movies, and it has very little, if anything to do with the movie; even the costume changed a little. All in all, it is a good book provided you like Supergirl comics, and you want to read the first issues compiled in a paperback cover.

Summary: Very creepy, yet thought provoking.
Review: This delivers far more than your average comic. It is very dark and this is unusual when you consider that Supergirl was once a wholesome child of Fifties America. Cults, family life and Man's place in the grand scheme of the cosmos are effectively explored. Controversially God himself makes an appearance as a small boy and there seems to be a battle between good and evil being waged in Leesburg, a backwater American town reminiscent of "Twin Peaks." Although the art is very bright, it effectively shows that behind the most wholesome veneer can lie chaos and despair. Supergirl herself is a very sympathetic character. This is definitely not for young children, but it manages to raise the interesting questions of the BATMAN titles without being depressive.

Summary: Dark engaging story
Review: This graphic novel is a great retelling of the "classic" Supergirl story. The story begins with Supergirl, aka "Matrix", dealing with a life crisis. She saves a woman from a tornado only to be unable to help another man who ends up dying. Knowing that she is only a construct created by Lex Luthor of an alternate universe, she doesn't feel real, doesn't feel she has a purpose or stake in the world.Her solution comes when she comes across a dying young girl, Linda Danvers. Matrix merges with Linda's body, retaining all her powers and memories, but gaining Linda's life and humanity. The trouble begins when she discovers Linda was dying because she was a sacrifice in a Satanic ritual, and rather than being a victim, she was a cult member. On top of dealing with new emotions, Supergirl must now live a dual life, balancing her past with Linda's sorted past, becoming part of the Danvers family while staying part of the Kent family, and dealing with the frustration, pain and angst of both Matrix and Linda. As the story develops, Supergirl/Linda settles into her new life among her family in Leesburg only to find that it is a staging ground for a battle between good and evil. The same Satanic cult which sacrificed Linda Danvers is attempting to help demons cross over and bring about the end to the word. Supergirl foils the twists and turns of their plans, which include old enemies such as Gorilla Grodd who unleashes the base and beastly nature Supergirl now contains as part of Linda. Not only is it a struggle between good and evil, it is a struggle within as well. To cap it off, the artwork is superb, rich in color and artfully done.

Summary: Super Collection
Review: This is a great introduction to the current Supergirl. It includes an issue of Showcase (the title that spotlights members of the supporting cast) and the first 9 issues of Supergirl's own series. Plus, for those readers who haven't read the Superman books that deal with Supergirl before she got her own series, this collection provides a nice written introduction to her character, so you'll know what's happened to her up to that point. I love how Supergirl and Linda Danvers (the girl that she's merged with) are so different. Supergirl tries to be righteous and sometimes fails. Linda used to be righteous and turned to evil. Now, a superhero and a murderer are physically melded into one being, and the result is a fabulous character. "Who is Linda Danvers?" She's Supergirl! Introduce yourself to her with this collection!

Summary: Maid of Steel:Remade
Review: This is the collection of the first nine issues of DC Comics's monthly book SUPERGIRL. The story and artwork are briliant. Peter David redefines the Girl of Steel. Gary Frank's artwork is the best I have ever seen on comics. Frank's Supergirl, in my opion,is the best. Fans will be suprised and interested in the new direction of the post CRISIS Supergirl. Supergirl's new direction makes for fun, interesting, and thought provoking reading. There are also lots of guest stars from the DCUniverse dropping in from time to time; including one that also wears a big red S on his chest. This is a must for all Supergirl fans.
