Crucible was the end of New 52 Supergirl for me; after two more partial stories -- crossovers, yay! -- and then a good FULL story including some characters and storylines I vaguely remember from other titles and THEN another partial story to cap it all off, I decided I was done with this title. Keeping up with the characters within the Super-Universe is a lot of work and I don't want to have to make my way through the Superman maze in order to understand Supergirl, sorry. I mean, they're TPBs that I'm reading IN ORDER, it shouldn't be this hard!
But then I found out it actually IS the end of this run of Supergirl, since the title has been canceled, rendering my decision moot. It's irritating, though, I feel like Supergirl is a fantastic character and this series didn't live up to its potential.

The best of the New 52 Supergirl run also happens to sadly be the last of it. I usually enjoy Bedard's stories, and this is no exception, particularly since it's a return to a more classic and optimistic Supergirl after a long run of an angry and isolated one. Granted, I enjoyed those just fine (with the exception of Asrar's art...never been able to really get into it), but this is more the Supergirl I am familiar with.
Lupacchino's art is astoundingly good. Her work is a little reminiscent of Hughes or Dodson but better in every way. IMHO. It fits the tone and scope of the book like a glove. I hope she gets to revisit the character.
Aside from a jarringly out of place Future's End issue tacked onto the end, this is a fun story I would recommend to anyone that likes the character. I'm only sad that it had to bookend the series. Maybe the new TV series will encourage DC to relaunch the book looking for an expanded audience.

It felt like I was missing a lot here. That has been the biggest problem with the series, you only get part of the story and are feeling lost.

For the entirety of Supergirl Vol. 6
Overall, I like it. It was not bad.
Supergirl is one of the most underrated characters of all time. I really want her to be done justice.
This started very well. The backstory, the characterization… But then, it was overshadowed by other stories.
What a shame.

God, this was a chore. I don't know why I'm still forcing myself to finish the New 52 after all these years.

This is a little meandering, but I like the characters and it kept me entertained. Still my favorite of the New 52.
