☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the second story arc of the Superman/Batman series, focusing on the discovery of a teenage Kryptonian girl who crash-lands on Earth. As Superman and Batman investigate her origins, they must protect her from various threats, including Darkseid, who seeks to exploit her power. The collection includes issues #8-13 of the monthly series, written by Jeph Loeb with art by Michael Turner and others.
In "Alone," Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman enlist Barda to help infiltrate Apokolips and rescue Kara, but their mission quickly fractures. Trapped on the war-torn planet, the team is scattered—Wonder Woman and Barda captured, Batman seemingly dead—leaving Superman to confront Kara, who now stands beside Darkseid, her loyalty to her cousin in question. A powerful, emotionally charged story by Jeph Loeb and Michael Turner, with striking art by Turner and vibrant colors by Peter Steigerwald, this issue delivers a tense, intimate look at family, identity, and the cost of survival, all framed by Turner’s dynamic cover.
In a storm-lashed Gotham, a young blonde girl with untamed powers stumbles through the city, her confusion echoing the chaos she unintentionally creates. When Batman tracks her to a Kryptonite meteor, he’s met with a mystery that leads to a forgotten rocket and a shocking revelation: she’s Superman’s cousin, Kara Zor-El.
In "Visitor," Kara Zor-El struggles to find her place on Earth, testing the limits of trust with Superman’s unwavering faith and Batman’s guarded skepticism—while Krypto remains her only constant. When an unexpected assault by Artemis, Harbinger, and Wonder Woman leaves her questioning her allies, Kara must confront the fragile line between loyalty and deception.
In "Warrior," Kara Zor-El finds herself on Paradise Island, where Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman weigh her future amid a rare moment of sisterhood among the Amazons. When Doomsday constructs descend in a brutal assault, the island’s defenses are pushed to the limit—leaving only one life lost and Kara vanished without a trace.
In the heart of Apokolips, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman join forces with Barda to rescue Kara Zor-El from Darkseid’s grasp. As the team splits up, Wonder Woman and Barda are captured, and Batman vanishes—leaving Superman to face a shocking confrontation with Kara, who stands beside Darkseid as if she’s no longer his prisoner.
In a high-stakes clash across Earth and Apokolips, Superman faces off against Kara Zor-El as Wonder Woman and Barda hold their own against the Female Furies. Batman makes a daring move against Darkseid, risking everything to secure Kara’s freedom—only for the tyrant to strike back with devastating personal vengeance. With Kara now wearing a costume echoing Superman’s, the cost of defiance begins to unfold.
In a world reeling from Darkseid’s devastation, Superman stands triumphant—only to face a truth that upends everything. With allies from across the DC Universe rallying around her, Supergirl steps into a role no one saw coming, becoming Earth’s new guardian in the wake of chaos.
