Supergirl has been twisting and turning each night as she is haunted by visions of her past in her dreams. And with Halloween just around the corner, the town is getting up to all sorts of mischief while our sleepless hero stumbles through her patrols. Can Kara find the cause of her nightmares before her inner demons emerge? Find out as the nefarious Nightflame returns!
And Supergirl isn't denying the trauma ... or hiding from it. She tells all these 'inner demons' that she'll see them tomorrow. She awakens to the glee of her friends. Once again I have to thank Sophie Campbell. This was just a near perfect issue. From the deep cuts of Supergirl history to her rising above and showing us who she is ... a hero ... this issue sang to me. And the art just complements the story completely. Read Full Review
And there's a generous amount of cuteness in it as well. The emotion of the character is feels very vivid on the page thanks to Campbell's writing and her art in the waking sections of the story. And the large population of pets seems really cute as well. Cara is sick on a slab as Lena is looking over her and all of the pets come running the way pets might if they were concerned about her well-being. There are all kinds of nice little touches like that that add to a very endearing and engaging pleasant presence for this particular issue. Read Full Review
Supergirl #6 is a look inside Kara's mind, taking us on a journey that teaches us that our past helps to shape who we are rather than define us. It's an excellent spooky time read for this season that continues to elevate this already fun run! Read Full Review
This works as a Halloween story, of course, but it's also an amazing allegory for people living with a lot of trauma and battling to push past it and enjoy life every day. That's the kind of storytelling that's making this Supergirl's strongest run so far. Read Full Review
Supergirl #6 is essentially a character study disguised as an action-packed comic. It blends classic themes of hope and heroism with a genuinely frightening look at inner darkness. Read Full Review
Supergirl #6 is a really great one-off issue that packs in a lot of acknowledgement towards Kara's growth over the years. Full of fun, nostalgic imagery, a bit of comedic levity, and a sprinkle of Halloween charm, this issue is a blast to read. Read Full Review
blows my mind on how Supergirl, a character I did not care about that much, is one of my favorite ongoing series right now.
Not a fan of dark Kara. They're not callbacks I'm interested in, and I don't care for the darkness makes stronger point. Also not a fan of sword Kara. Even the cover feels like a homage to the worst Supergirl comics. This issue wasn't for me.
