About the series
Over six issues from 2012 to 2015, DC’s Supergirl series, written primarily by Mike Johnson, K. Perkins, and Michael Alan Nelson, with art by Mahmud Asrar, Emanuela Lupacchino, and Sami Basri, explores Kara Zor-El’s struggle to carve her own identity on Earth after the New 52 reboot. This run reimagines her arrival as a young woman adrift, grappling with her Kryptonian heritage and a world that fears her power. It matters for distilling Supergirl’s core conflict—alienation and resilience—into a compact, visually striking arc that honors her legacy while charting a fresh, character-driven path.
