Supergirl #6

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

It's Halloween in Supergirl #6, but the Girl of Steel has to battle some internal demons from her past before she can enjoy the spooky season. 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 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

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.
