About this Collection

This volume collects issues #13-18 of the 2017 Supergirl series, following Kara Zor-El as she confronts the lingering remnants of Krypton's tragic past. The story arc delves into her struggle with the ghosts of her homeworld, both literal and metaphorical, as she faces new threats tied to her heritage. Writer Steve Orlando and artist Brian Ching continue to explore Supergirl's identity and her place on Earth amidst cosmic dangers.

In "Superman: Family," Supergirl grapples with her place in time as Brainiac 5 uses the chronexus to show her alternate versions of Superman, revealing pivotal moments from his past and glimpses of her own future, including a clash with Blackstar. With the device, she’s briefly sent back to aid her younger cousin, bridging the gap between their lives across the timeline. Written by Kurt Busiek, Fabian Nicieza, and Geoff Johns, with art by Renato Guedes and Jose Wilson Magalhaes, and a cover by Drew Johnson and Ray Snyder, this 2017 issue offers a heartfelt, time-spanning journey through the Kent family legacy.
