Frank Hannah is on writing duties in this book. Searching around the Internet, it appears that this is Hannah's first writing gig in comic form, having previously written for film. This isn't a badly written book for a first-time writer, but Kara does flip-flop between feeling all-powerful (when she leaves the space station that she's currently residing on to recoup) and commenting on how she's dead inside (in her fight with Lava Woman, who returns from Superboy #3). In short, Supergirl continues to not feel like Supergirl should and that's a shame.

Fill-in artist Diogenes Neves' eponymous character is comprised of angular lines similar to that of series regular Mahmud Asrar, though Neves does inject a bit of an anime-like appearance to his version. Yet beyond the foreground, Neves is provided little to do with backgrounds that are primarily dust, rubble, or a few scant buildings off in the distance.
