Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow isn’t just a comic—it’s a literary odyssey that redefines Kara Zor-El with a depth and complexity rarely afforded to legacy characters. Written by Tom King (the only bad thing..jk! maybe..) and illustrated by Bilquis Evely, this 8-issue series is a bold departure from traditional superhero fare. It’s poetic, brutal, and deeply human. At its core, this is a story about grief, justice, and identity. Kara, often portrayed as Superman’s cheerful cousin, is thrust into a morally gray universe where her powers mean little and her choices mean everything. Accompanied by Ruthye, a determined alien girl seeking vengeance for her father’s murder, Kara embarks on a journey across hostile planets and broken civilizations. What unfolds is part space western, part philosophical road trip, and part emotional reckoning. It’s a bold, poetic reinvention that echoes the emotional depth of Journey to the West, while carving its own path through the stars. King’s writing is lyrical and layered. He doesn’t just tell a story—he builds a myth. Kara is no longer the sidekick or the symbol of hope; she’s a warrior, a mentor, and a woman wrestling with her own pain and purpose. Evely’s art elevates every page. Her intricate linework and sweeping landscapes give the story a timeless, almost mythological feel. Every panel feels like a painting, and every expression carries weight. This isn’t a book for readers seeking fast-paced action or traditional heroics. It’s for those who want to sit with a character, feel her struggle, and witness her transformation. Kara’s journey is messy, raw, and ultimately redemptive. She’s not perfect—and that’s what makes her powerful. From a collector’s standpoint, this paperback is already gaining traction. With James Gunn confirming it as the foundation for the upcoming DCU film, its cultural and market value is poised to rise. The price of each of the individual issues have already gone up in price, and difficult to find. (I'm still looking for issue #3 to complete the 8-issue run!) But beyond speculation, this book deserves a place on your shelf because it’s art. It’s literature. It’s the kind of story that stays with you long after the final page. Whether you’re a lifelong DC fan or someone looking for a fresh, emotionally resonant narrative, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow delivers. It’s not just a reinvention—it’s a revelation.

i’m just getting into comics. was told to start with a favorite character and read their books. this book is amazing. the artwork is absolutely incredible, i sent pictures of my favorite pages to all my friends. it is just gorgeous. not only does it have cool art, it has a good, heartfelt story. i relate to supergirl a lot. i cannot wait to see the movie june 2026! go supergirl!

This story felt like a fitting companion piece to Tom King's other limited series, Superman: Up In the Sky. Like that book, there is an overarching story that takes Supergirl through the cosmos, but each issue is almost like a standalone vignette about a particular challenge and an attribute about Supergirl that helps her overcome that challenge. Pros: 1. The art is incredible. I was not familiar with Bilquis Evely, but her art really blew me away. The colorists also did an awesome job of creating these bright otherworldly settings and characters. Honestly, the art alone probably makes this worth checking out. 2. One issue in particular that explores the burden and grief Kara bears as a survivor who fully knew the world she lost (as opposed to her cousin, Superman, who was a baby at the time he lost his home planet), was particularly poignant and an interesting way of delving into her psyche. Cons: 1. There is a narrative/framing device used throughout, where everything is explained and analyzed by Supergirl's companion who has written a book about their adventures--a girl from an alien world who speaks like a medieval peasant. The girl herself is an interesting character and has a compelling story but OH MAN, the narration can get irritating. This is totally subjective, but I kept finding myself wanting the narration bubbles to be quiet and go away so that more could happen in the "present" of the story. If you even get mildly annoyed by the "voice" of the girl, you will haaaaate it by the end. There's a lot of it. 2. With the exception of the story about Kara's grief mentioned above, I felt a lot of the "attributes" of Kara that get explored feel like a....defensive rebuttal. I don't know a better way to put it. It's like, "You thought she was nice and a pushover? Guess what she KICKS ASS." "You think she's a goody two-shoes? She DRINKS." "Think she would never murder a dude? MAYBE SHE WILL, MAYBE SHE WON'T BETTER STICK AROUND AND FIND OUT!" So much is couched in assumed reader expectation, and even within the story, how people in her world conceive of her in contrast to her famous cousin, Superman. And it almost felt kind of insulting, to both Kara and the reader? I don't know how else to describe it. It seemed less like a story about who Kara is as a person (though those moments do shine through), and more about, "nuh-uh, she's not what you think." Overall, I still think this was definitely worth it, especially for the art. But the narration and the defensive framing really made it tough to enjoy the story (for me at least).

Frankly, when you consider that what you hold in your hands is some 200 pages of some of the most beautiful art and heart-wrenching storytelling imaginable, the price of $18 seems paltry. This is some of the finest interpretation of any superhero I've ever seen. A cosmic reworking of True Grit with Supergirl as Rooster, it's an absolute delight, and it is filled to bursting with spectacle, heart, and humor. There is no shortage of bizarre, gruesome or hideous imagery, and Kara has a bit of a mouth of a sailor, so it is decidedly not a kids book, but there's possibly no better character study of what it takes to be a good person while overcoming incredible trauma than this. There's absolutely no upper limit to how much of this book the upcoming DCU film could aim on adapting. There's hardly a frame or line that feels inessential! It's a masterpiece.

Thanks to Transinfo, got the best packaging every and in sealed condition too! About the comic, an iconic piece probably one of the best comics out there. Pages of thi comic feels like a wallpaper, the art if unreal. It is definetly worth buying for the plot and art. The upcoming Supergirl movie will he based on this aswell.
