SuperGirl #1 - Last Daughter of Krypton

 Name: Kara...Super Hero name...SuperGirl

  Let me start off by saying.... I LOVE THIS BOOK! For some reason, while in my Comic Shop in Central Connecticut, i gravitated to SuperGirl before i picked up Superman. In my opinion Superman is the the most recognizable and biggest/greatest hero of all time. I'm a person who usually goes for the underdogs first, so o guess that's why i quickly bought all the issues of DC's New 52 in my shop.

  The book starts out with Kara (SuperGirl) falling to earth in a meteor show just like her cousin Clark Kent. Unlike Clark, Kara ends up ripping through earths mantle and crash lands in Siberia, Russia. In the captions there is someone talking frantically, this person is talking to someone else sounding like they are giving orders to find out exactly where Kara is landing. At this time I'm assuming it to be some sort of Government sect. The art in these panels are AMAZING! The colors are vivid and beautifully drawn.

  "Have you ever had that feeling... Like you've been asleep for a really long time? For what seems like a lifetime? And you have crazy dreams. Things you didn't even know your brain could imagine. But when you finally wake up"...

Kara steps out of her pod and takes her first steps on earth. She thinks shes dreaming because its snowing, and it hasn't snowed on Krypton in her lifetime. At this point shes unaware of her super powers since on Krypton they have a weak red sun, and the Kryptonians powers manifest when they are on planets with young yellow suns, this is how they draw their power. Being on Siberia she should freeze to death, but she can't even feel it.

This is my favorite page from the book, i feel like the artist really captured her emotion in the bottom panel, looking at earths beautiful landscape for the first time. In the second panel i thought she looked hot while she was catching snow in her palm... lol!

 Immediately she is rushed by a small army of buffed up iron-man like robotic soldiers! They yell at Kara telling her to stop but shes an alien who doesn't speak any human language. Kara still thinks shes dreaming, and in one panel shes just smiling at the giant metal men rushing her. They surround her, she finally realizes that she can feel this, this may not be a dream after all. She keeps telling herself to wake up, but she already is and is not in a very good place! The men recognize her costume and the S on her chest, its similar to Superman's costume since they are cousins.

This is my second favorite page, Kara sees the sun for the first time, you can see the emotion and pain in her eyes when she snaps out of it, and feels the sun for the first time and her eyes light up! This scene was epic!

    Those eyes are a hint to RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!
She shoots one of the metal men with her laser eyes then gets punched in the face. Shes burning up inside because this is all new to her, and she is mad and doesn't know how to control her powers, not a good mix. She punches another mental man flying over a mountain! She continues beating the metal guys into the floor with like rag dolls or action figures. her power is radiating through her veins. She falls to the floor because intense sounds are flowing through her head all at the same time, shes hearing things from all over the world, her body is adjusting. They hop on her, thinking shes pinned but she brushes them off like dandruff off a shoulder. she rips open a suit and realizes there's men inside, but they don't speak Kryptonian so they can't communicate verbally.

  This is where Superman appears! And also where the issue comes to a close. Talk about a cliff hanger.

  My final thoughts are that this book was EPIC! Non stop hot girl going all SuperGirl on metal robotic giant men! There were a few moments when she first stepped on earth that i feel the artist and writer really captured her confusion and feelings in that moment. You can feel her pain and fear, her eyes could tell her entire story. I can't wait to review book 2 and the rest of the series. I hope i can influence a few people to pick this up, its seriously worth it.

Verdict - Without a doubt BUY!
