A satisfying variant of a well known character with a compelling story. The art is amazing and really enhances the already strong writing. It really deserves the description of a graphic novel.

I cried… so many times reading this. I’ve never ready anything of Supergirl before, and frankly picked up the book because I loved the art style. It is one of my favorite comic book stories I’ve ever read. The story is compelling and well-paced, with a masterful balance of action, tension, calm, reflection, and humor. The lettering is skillful and adds just enough to the experience without distracting from it. The art… the art is breathtaking, and I found myself poring over pages and panels to appreciate the details as I read. Supergirl is saturated with anger, sadness,  guilt - and even more so with compassion and love.  This isn’t just a story about vengeance, but what it means to achieve vengeance, to be consumed by it, and to come out the other end changed (for better or worse). It’s a story about pain, and mourning, and surviving. It’s a story about love and grief and taking care of each other. I will be thinking about this story for a long time.

Fan-freaking-tastic! Highly recommend. I very rarely read DC and certainly not any mainstream superheroes from that universe but this was nominated for  HUGO Award so I decided to try it and was absolutely blown away by the story and the art

This hit all my boxes: medieval-esque fantasy, strong women, beautiful prose. The story does get a bit long-winded at times but honestly, I read medieval chronicles for uni, I'm used to it (and starting to enjoy it). This was just high quality all around! I did have some issues plot-wise but the conclusion was still nice (though it took me some time to understand, have to admit) and Kara & Ruthye really learned from eachothers experiences.
