Supergirl, Vol. 3: Infectious by Robert Venditti, Jody Houser, Marc Andreyko
1.0

I don't always think events ruin comics but...this goddamn villain of the year shit RUINED Supergirl.

After two fun, exciting, solid volumes we get a messy as fuck conclusion. Right away you can tell Marc wanted to finish his supergirl run but the stupid infection of her came in. He wrote it best he could, and the build up to it was pretty interesting, but then she became this gothic/emo/scene hipster wannabe supergirl that was just intolerable. Then poor Jody Houser, who's a great writer, played it safe and did a two part story at the end to put this poor supergirl to rest. She never had a chance since rebirth began but least Marc set up some fun ideas.

This is bad though. A 1 out of 5.
