In "Limited Resources," Supergirl confronts a startling truth: the memories she’s been grappling with aren’t just echoes of her past—they’re her own, tied to the legacy of Linda Danvers. Written by Peter David and brought to life by Gary Frank’s dynamic art and Cam Smith’s sharp inks, this pivotal issue dives into identity, responsibility, and the weight of a history that wasn’t entirely her own. The cover by Gary Frank and Cam Smith captures the moment’s intensity, setting the tone for a story where the line between hero and memory begins to blur.
In "Cat's Paw," Supergirl confronts a haunting truth: the memories she's been living with aren't just echoes of Linda Danvers—they're her own, layered with a past she never chose. As she grapples with the weight of those recollections, she must stop a demon's return and face the unsettling reality of who she truly is now.
In "And No Dawn to Follow the Darkness," Supergirl races to stop Gorilla Grodd’s sinister ritual in Leesburg, where the Heart of Darkness is turning the town’s residents into monstrous beasts—leaving only Sylvia Danvers untouched.

In the aftermath of the Final Night, Supergirl is shaken awake by the sight of her father Fred Danvers’s bloodied nametag, dropped by a boy with a baseball bat—only to be drawn into a chaotic confrontation with Gorilla Grodd and a mysterious figure named Buzz. As tensions rise in a fractured city, Supergirl must navigate a web of personal loss, cryptic threats, and the unsettling presence of those she once trusted, including Sylvia Danvers and Reverend Varvel.
In "Trust Fund," Supergirl and Superman must navigate a high-stakes crisis when Rampage—secretly Kitty Faulkner—unravels a dangerous conspiracy tied to her past, forcing her to confront a betrayal she never saw coming. With the help of her family and allies like Richard Malverne and Sylvia Danvers, Kitty must decide who she can truly trust as the truth about her inheritance begins to surface.
In "Art History," Supergirl [Matrix/Linda Danvers] delves into her own past through a collection of Linda Danvers’s artwork, uncovering memories that stir unease. Meanwhile, Sylvia Danvers tries to set her sister up on a blind date, adding a touch of personal tension to the mix.
