Supergirl Vol. 2: Girl in the World by Mike Johnson, Michael Green
3.0

I swore I reviewed this...but I figured I'd re-read again to refresh myself.

So Kara faces her first real threat on earth. While trying to live her normal life, and of course things don't go well, she gets attacked by a new foe. This causes her to fight back and maybe push herself to far and hurt someone...or something. The later half of the volume covers Kara trying to find out more about herself and then a origin story (like we needed another) of her time before she was shot into space and lost there for a long time.

Good: The art shifts from good to okay but it still looks distinct and still love Supergirl's design. I think the first half is pretty entertaining if not similar to what we've had. I do like this Supergirl is kind of standoffish. I think I would be too after being thrown into a new world and finding out my home is destroyed.

Bad: The origin story feels meh, very very meh. Wasn't needed. Also, I wonder where this story is going? Feels almost pointless and no big ending in sight.

Overall, a okay volume. Probably around a 2.5 but it's decent enough for a 3 in stars.
