A lot happens in this issue! A lot. Action! Characterization! A heroic Supergirl saving people and wanting to help her enemy! Origins! Costume changes! And more history homages! Such a change from the more recent back-up strips and specials and the ponderous pace there. This is the sort of Supergirl adventures I want to read. Read Full Review
The clever modulation of action and drama in a well-paced issue feels quite impressive. Theres a strong sense of action that continues to flow through everything. Karas distinctive personality shines through the second issue of another remarkably well-rendered narrative package. Theres just enough action, interpersonal drama and room around the edges of it all to feel exquisitely well-balanced throughout from beginning to end. Its just such graceful work throughout. The decision to start small in Midvale also allows Campbell the opportunity to expand the series over time in a very thoughtful way that should be fun to follow in the months (and hopefully years) to come.

This story is a lot of fun, with an antagonist who might not be overtly villainous but has a high-school level grudge and the power to do something about it. Campbell is hitting it out of the park on both writing and art. Read Full Review
Supergirl #2 is a fun adventure that dives into important themes such as identity crisis and finding yourself while feeling lost in the shadows. The colors and panels are beautiful and the story is a blend of superhero wonder and sympathy. Read Full Review
Despite a small blip, Supergirl #2 is a fantastic read that delivers on action, humor, and a unique take on classic comic tropes. If you are in the mood for some Silver Age-inspired adventure, pick up Supergirl! Read Full Review
Supergirl #2 is a spirited and dynamic follow up to the series exciting debut. Sophie Campbell draws the hell out of Kara Zor-El as her adventure in Midvale continues. But more than that, Campbell takes the first steps towards a deeply human and impactful story which shows Kara is so much more than her Kryptonian powers alone. Read Full Review
This issue is a lot of fun to read, hearkening back the Adventure Comics of the 1970s, but with much more interesting art and coloring, and a story that I enjoyed, but should also appeal to young readers. Read Full Review
The tone of this book definitely leans towards a YT Reader category, which in and of itself isn't bad. It does mean some interactions and pacing's feel a little over played, but this is only issue #2 so there's plenty of space to twist it up a bit. The impressive work of Sophie Campbell as writer and artist is solid enough to keep me intrigued which makes this a great All Ages issue. Read Full Review
Sophie Campbell is making DC fun again. The silver-age campiness is such a joy to read. Art goes wonderfully with the style. 10/10 no comments.
I’m usually not much of a Sophie Campbell fan! But this comic really gets Supergirl: it’s light, fun, with clever little nods to continuity, and exactly the kind of book I’d give my young nephews to spark their interest in comics. It’s not groundbreaking, but that’s not always what you’re looking for. It’s enjoyable, accessible, and, most importantly, it truly understands and respects Supergirl. I really hope it finds its audience, we need more comics like this right now.
It's official. This will now be on my pull list. I love the charming Silver-age art style, and how it's just fun. I really am excited to read the next issue more than the majority of current comics right now. I like Sophie Campbell's writing for Supergirl and how she's more likable, and the story overall. I also love the chemistry with Supergirl and Lena Luthor
I like Sophie Campbell's artwork, but I've got mixed feelings about the story. the joke on the cover about "boring small talk" is closer to the mark than perhaps was intended: there is a lot of dialogue that seems unnecessary and not very interesting. the story fizzled out a bit at the end with some unwelcome fan service about Supergirl choosing a new costume. still, I'm engaged enough to have followed this since issue 1, and I'll probably get then next issue too. I find the overbite that all the characters have a bit irritating too
Goofy young adult, slice of life stuff. Not my thing. The cover says it all. Boring small talk. That doesn't mean it's bad if you are a fan of this sort of comic book, so I'll abstain from giving it a score. I do say again, this sort of book needs it's own imprint and it would be better received IMO.
