*pounds fists on table* MOAR!! MOAR!

The relationships in this are all so good. Which makes the tragedy that unfolds at the end of last volume/beginning of this one all the more painful. Oh geez. :( :( :( But it's handled really well. (I also have thoughts about how it ties into the overarching mystery plot. HMM.)

I love Kara's parents here, and her weirdness, and how clearly they all love each other even though they don't always know what's up with her powers or how to talk about them, and her dad is a gentle weirdo. ;-) I just want more of all this. Can we have ten seasons of this like we did with Smallville? Please? <3

Oh my goodness, Mariko - you have taken me by the heartstrings and completely enamored me to you. Wow! This miniseries is not just Supergirl’s story, but the story of any teenage girl growing up. Kara is awkward. She has zits. There’s insecurity! And in this issue, she’s experiencing a deep loss and some very real trauma associated with it. This is raw and real, told through story and art. Can’t wait to see what the next issue unlocks for us.
