Supergirl #8 brings me back to the classic Christmas specials that would air every year. It is full of life lessons as Sophie brings so much heart to this issue. I cannot get enough of this run, and it is severely underrated. More people should be reading!!! Read Full Review

Theoretically Karas robot double could still serve as a extended member of the ensemble. As it is, however, Campbell has quite a few people in the ensemble. And trying to expand it too much more would threaten to imbalance things. Better to keep this particular character, a statement on the nature of heroism and the things that sometimes fall through the cracks of perception. It's not often that that sort of thing has an opportunity to truly be explored in a long running mainstream comic book properties. So many writers takes long running series and so many different directions that it's easy to forget so much of what's lost in the transition from one creative group to the next. It's nice to see Campbell taking a look at one aspect of Karas past in greater detail. Read Full Review

While this issue has a smaller cast than most, with Lena and the super-pets being completely absent, it's another great installment in what could wind up being Kara's defining run. Read Full Review

I really respect the perspective Supergirl #8 gives on the complex emotional state a lot of people experience this time of year.

All in all, this was still a solid issue and felt like one of the more relevant stories Supergirl has delivered in awhile. Read Full Review
