I realize, and accept, that Tim King can be a very verbose comic writer. His storytelling usually benefits from this style, however Supergirl is just long & exposition heavy and did not work for me. Love the art though.

My least favorite King book.

I came to this without any expectations, and was thoroughly won over. I’m not especially familiar with the mythology of Superman, still less Supergirl, and in any case I suspect that this off-earth adventure of cosmic vengeance may not be a typical Supergirl story. But I thought it was brilliant: a super script and plot, gorgeous art making the most of the potential of the comics format, and a thoroughly satisfactory characterisation of Supergirl and her pal Ruth. The two Hugo-shortlisted comics I had already read were both new instalments in favourite series of mine, but I felt that Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is head and shoulders above both. I’ll read the other finalists but I’ll be surprised if I like any of them more than this.… (mais)

While the previous Tom King comics I've read have all been about taking apart heroes, breaking them down in the face of the violence at the core of the medium, this one takes a different approach to Supergirl, showing what makes her keep going (even if admitting to a bit of tragedy and darkness).

The basic premise is that on Kara's twenty-first birthday, she travels to an alien planet with a red sun in order to get drunk and feel it without her powers; she happens to get caught up in the quest of a girl named Ruthye to hunt down the man who killed her father—and then that killer makes off with Kara's ship into space. So Supergirl and Ruthye go on a quest across galaxies to find that man and bring him to justice. The story is narrated by Ruthye, and we entirely see Supergirl through her eyes, always at a remove. The narration is dense, but it really works, and what the narration doesn't give us, Evely's beautiful art does, highlighting the strength and flaws of this powerful woman.

The story shows what make Supergirl Supergirl: not the powers (though they certainly help), but how she chooses to use them—which goes back, as one flashback chapter points out, to before she had the powers. I though that issue (#6: "Home, Family, and Revenge") was the single best Supergirl origin I have read, really tapping into the tragedy in a way that other origins (such as Jeph Loeb and Michael Turner's shit) have neglected, and it's beautifully paired with Supergirl riding Comet the Super-Horse in a desperate race. King embraces the tragedy of Kara Zor-El, but he also doesn't shy away from the ridiculousness of the history of the character. Overall, I really liked it. Surely from the best class of Big Two superhero comics.

(I will say, though, that content appropriateness choices at DC continue to baffle me, just like with Strange Adventures. Genocide and mass graves? A-okay! Someone saying "fuck"? Better cover that #%$&@ up with grawlixes! They throw me out every time. Either actually swear or don't.)

Good! The art is gorgeous, and it’ll probably be the best looking thing I’ve read this year. The story’s not bad, either, despite King’s quirks which hamper the excitement of the second half. (A few too many monologues.) I found the sidekick’s overly formal manner of speech entertaining.
