I was a bit dissapointed with this book. These were not the style of stories I was expecting. I like the idea of different writers from different countries giving their take on Supergirl and mixing in their own local legonds.
This is a nice looking hardcover book, unfortunately all the writers seemed to want Supergirl as a 16 year old (in some cases even younger).
It is usually difficult to rate a book of short stories as the writing teams all have different visions of the charscters. Apart from the story from Poland I can't say I really say i enjoyed any of the other stories. This is more of a trophy book for the shelf then anything else.

Most of these stories are lighthearted and low stakes. They do a good job of incorporating the culture of each team. Almost all of the stories have really good art with some of it being great! Glad I picked this up.

"Supergirl. You. It’s you who helped me and share your light. Show me my home once again. Help me go back there. -- Thank you. For helping me. You who needs nothing from anyone. Thank you for reminding me that we are all children of the stars.”
Supergirl: The World is a collection of short stories from 14 different authors. Each author has created a story about Supergirl set in their own country and culture (we have stories from UA, Spain, Italy, Serbia, Argentina, Cameroon, Finland, Turkey, France, Poland, Mexico, Germany, Colombia and Japan). Through these diverse tales, this collection honors and celebrates Supergirl, DC's iconic Maiden of Might.
This was a super (heh) fun collection. As with any collection of short stories or comics, not all of them were total hits for me, but I also didn't dislike any of them. All the stories captured some aspect of Supergirl's character and reminded me why she is so beloved and so iconic. It was wonderful seeing authors and artists from different cultures celebrate the same character and use her to explore aspects of their own countries history or legacy or culture – for example, in Down in the Mine (by a Polish author and artist), the story revolved around miners and ended with the real-life Barbara festival in honor of the patron saint of miners which is a notable holiday for miners in the country, and in the story set in Mexico, Kara helped rescue Mayan spirit guides from tech which had driven them to rage. In the story set in Cameroon, Kara helps protect a sacred and important statue from white people who wish to, once again, steal it from the locals and take it away. In some stories, the setting was more significant to the plot than others, but all the stories also felt like small celebrations of the authors' lands of origin, which was cool. One of my fave aspects of this book was also how interesting it was, visually, since every story is drawn in a completely unique way, making hopping from story to story extra exciting. Not only are you always wondering what Kara will get up to next, but you are also intrigued to see what sort of art the next story will have.
As a Finn, I have to dedicate a section of this review to the story set in Finland called Strong Girls Can Make History. I was delighted to see a Finnish story included in this book! I never thought I'd read a story about Kara transported back in time to the early 1900s where she hangs out with people called Aino, Toivo and so on. The story also explored, a little bit, the state of gender dynamics in Finland at this time. The story is set during a time when Finland was struggling against further Russification and becoming more and more hellbent on independence. Gender norms were in flux at this point in Finland (women had gotten the vote some years before the year the story is set in), but women are still expected to behave a certain way and be respectable and reliant on men. Seeing Kara inspire the women of the story and shock everyone by being all mighty and strong was nice.
I know collections like these aren't for everybody. These stories are very short and you cannot really get into the world and this story's version of Kara. But I really like short comics like this because it's intriguing to see what aspect of the character or their world the author decides to focus on and how they get across what they wanna say with their story in such a short amount of pages. This book made me love Kara even more than I already did and determined to read more stories about her (both longer comics and shorter one-shots). It also made me super pumped to see the new movie.
The different stories managed to highlight different aspects of Kara's character. Stories like The Chicken (USA) and Touch Ground (Argentina) had moments that really emphasised Kara as an inspiration and idol to young girls and women. The story set in Germany (The Extraction) showcased Kara's kindness and how she does her hardest to protect innocents – in this tale, she is trying to find and save a missing alien before someone else can capture it. Her love of nature and the world in general is illustrated beautifully in Song of the Humpbacks (Colombia) where she protects whales from poachers. Kara's love for and bond with Krypton the Superdog is at the heart of Home Sick Home (Turkey) and Breathless (France) – in the Turkish story, she wonders, as the dog saves her: “What would I do without you, Krypto?” Kara's crisis of identity and her struggle between her life as Kara and her life as Supergirl is explored in the dream-like Italian story Dark Reflections, were she wonders who she is: “I have been told I’m tireless. ‘Not for nothing, you’re the one who can move mountains.’ I’m starting to feel like they’ve put a mask on my face that I’m not sure belongs to me.” Her role as the lesser-known and lesser appreciated Kryptonian superhero comes across in the way Lex Luthor ignores her Foreign Skies' Sun (Serbia) – he calls her "just his [Clark's] little cousin". In the Japanese manga-style story Superman & Supergirl vs. Chàteraesé’s Cheap & Tasty Sweets you get a glimpse into the adorable, playful familial bond between the super cousins – they quarrel and fight but then they eat sweets together afterwards as if nothing happened – and this wonderful quote from Kara: “It usually goes like this with my cousin, Kal-El. He can be an annoying nag… but we end up having fun.” Kara's playfulness and mischievous nature is celebrated in The Chicken (USA) where she helps a bullied girl trick her cousins into thinking she has powers, and in The Extraction (Germany) where she promises Clark, who is worried that she will act a bit too reckless, that she will be careful: “Of course, cousin. You know me.” – “And that’s supposed to reassure me how?” I love them.
Though this collection is focused on Kara, there are appearances from other notable DC characters. Unsurprisingly, Superman and Krypto make quite a few appearances. But Batman also appears, as does the Joker, Lex Luthor and Toyman (who manages to be truly creepy though he has but a handful of appearances).
I would happily recommend this book to anyone interested in this type of multicultural approach to DC's characters and in Kara as a character. Even if some stories don't wow you, I'm pretty sure some of them will. That's the great thing about short story collections.

A collection of 14 short stories from international creative teams, each showing Kara/Supergirl in their own style and showing something of their region's culture or history.
I had a good time with this. As in any anthology with multiple contributors, there were some stories I gravitated towards more than others, and a few that just weren't my cup of tea. The stories are also very short (10 pages - less than half the length of a single comic issue.) However, it's fun to see the character represented in such a diverse range of styles. I really had a good time seeing how the various creators reinterpreted this character.
"The Chicken" - I don't know whether to laugh or cry that the "American" story is actually from a Canadian author (Mariko Tamaki.) Like it would have killed DC to give us our own category? That being said, this wasn't the best story. Risk your life so your cousins will think you're cool, I guess? But I will say, I like the art and colours by Skylar Patridge and Trish Mulvihill, respectively.
"Supergirl y la Maliciosa" with story and art by Aneke, from Spain, is a much stronger entry. The art is more distinctive, the colours have a watercolour quality to them. Aneke uses this space to highlight Spanish artists like Goya and Velazquez - just a taste, but may inspire readers to look them up - as well as the beauty of the Spanish mountains. Supergirl encounters a supernatural figure who serves as a contrast and comparison to her own story.
From Italy we have "Dark Reflections" by singer-songwriter Francesca Michielin and Irene Marchesini, with phenomenal artwork by Federica Croci, and letters by Andrea Accardi. This was my favourite story in the collection. Please, DC, commission this creative team to expand on this into a full one-shot or graphic novel! Kara goes to Italy to recuperate as she seems to be struggling with her mental health. "I don't want to ask for help. I never thought I would need anything." Even in a short amount of pages I was able to feel and empathize with Kara's struggles.
"Foreign Skies' Sun," from Serbia, is written by Uros Dimitrijevic, art by Stevan Subic. This one was pretty good. Lex Luthor discovers "white Kryptonite" in a mine in Serbia and tries to extract it despite protests from the locals. Supergirl gets involved, even though the white Kryptonite begins to weaken her. A Serbian girl uses her father's tech to help. The art was interesting stylistically and stood out.
"Touch Ground." The Argentinian team really has fun with the concept and gives us a whole redesign of Supergirl, presenting her as a young teen. The story is by Tomas Wortley, art by Rocio Zucchi. At first I thought this really isn't my style, but actually I had a great time with it - really fun, and terrific action.
From Cameroon we have "Children of Ngonnso," written by Suyru Njoka, with art by Ejob Nathanael Ejob. Supergirl protects the sacred statue of the Goddess Ngonnso, which has recently been returned to Cameroon after its theft in 1903. (This is some real-world history that was interesting to see incorporated.) For some reason Lex Luthor is trying to steal the sacred statue, and Supergirl is weakened by Kryptonite weapons.
"Strong Girls Can Make History" is by the Finnish creative team, written by Johanna Sinisalo, with art by Rosi Kampe. This story has Supergirl sent back in time to Finland in 1908, shortly after women received the right to vote. This was also a period when the Finnish people were fighting against Russia for independence. I liked this one, but found some of the dialogue/exposition a little dry.
"Home Sick Home" from Turkish author and artist Mahmud Asrar is another real standout of the collection. I really loved this one. It has a darker, grimier palate that immediately sets it apart from a lot of the other stories. Supergirl is already feeling low, when Krypto alerts her to a situation in Ankara, where a monster is terrorizing the citizens. The monster is a combination of the Joker melded with the Archura from Turkic mythology. Really great stuff, and I enjoyed seeing Krypto as well.
Our story from France is "Breathless" written by Kid Toussaint. This is a cute story that sees Supergirl whipping through Paris, eating everything she can . . . what really sets this story apart is the very pretty artwork by Joel Jurion and colours by Yoann Guille. I absolutely loved the look of this story and would love to see more of their work!
"Down in the Mine" by Anna Krzton with art by Kasia Nie is a story from Poland and features Supergirl rescuing trapped miners in Katowice and attending a local celebration.
The writer/artist from Mexico, Mariana Moreno, specializes in children's illustrations, so "The Sentinels of Chichen Itza" has a distinctly cartoon adventure feel to it, complete with a barrage of colourful magical creatures. Fun, though not really my thing.
"The Extraction" by Yann Krehl and Marie Sann from Germany is another very cartoony entry, in which Kara rescues a cute little alien that has escaped from a secret facility.
"Song of the Humpbacks" by Sara Rodriquez from Colombia has very interesting artwork, sort of a combination of painterly/children's book illustration/comic book style. Part of what I enjoy about this collection is how distinct and original each entry feels, and this is the perfect example of that. Also, I'm always up for watching the Super Family save some endangered animals!
"Superman & Supergirl Vs. Chateraese's Cheap & Tasty Sweets" by Satoshi Miyagawa and Kai Kitago is part of the Superman Vs. Meshi manga universe, which I have always really enjoyed. This is a very comedic little story, with Superman and Supergirl visiting a Japanese candy store. "You may have already realized it, but in this series, Supergirl is a high school girl who would've been trendy about 20 years ago. This is partially because she was in the Phantom Zone, so please forgive her."
All in all, if you are a fan of the character and/or curious about comics from around the world, this is a really fun collection with beautiful art and you learn lots of interesting little facts and things from different countries.

Fun little anthology series taking Supergirl around the world! Enjoyed almost all of the stories, save for the Japan one which I found kind of annoying despite loving Japanese food--I just feel like Superman and Supergirl having some sweet treats wasn't the strongest story Japan could offer when we could've gotten something with Katana or Japanese folklore instead.

Najmanje mi je prijao crtački stil ove Superdevojke: KAMERUN (nekako sterilan i previše jednostavan stil, prepoznaje se da je Ejob webtoon umetnik jer sve deluje previše “digitalno”)
Najmisteričnija Superdevojka: NEMAČKA (interesantna priča sa primesama detektivske misterije, spomenut je Dejvid Boui te je to još jedan plus)
Najsimpatičnija Superdevojka: MEKSIKO i TURSKA (slab sam na Kripta i životinje, naročito kada uzmemo u obzir da u obe priče pomažu Superdevojci da se izbori sa nedaćama)
Nisam mario za ovu Superdevojku: FINSKA i USA (meh)
Mario sam za ovu Superdevojku, ali ne baš puno: ARGENTINA i FRANCUSKA (zabavne priče koje rezultiraju odličnim krajevima, ali ništa više od toga)
Najlepši kolorit Supedevojke: ŠPANIJA (divne i nežne nijanse koje zaista uzdižu Anekein stil na nov nivo)
Omiljena Superdevojka: MEKSIKO 🇲🇽♥️

This was a really clever way to celebrate both Supergirl and writers from around the world.
Some of the stories I found okay, my favourites were the ones from Italy, as it focuses on anxiety, Cameroon, Turkey and Paris because they both feature Krypto and Germany, as I felt Kara’s character was perfect in that one.
I would highly recommend it!

A fun compilation of Supergirl stories, but not as notable as Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. It was fun to see different stories by different authors from different countries though!

I know it’s a free cómic day issue but it feels flat in every aspect besides the art.
It’s ok for a light read.

Algunas historias tienen un dibujo interesante. Y ya.
Pero a nivel de guion son bastante simplonas, muy flojas.
Creo que si se promocionara como cómic infantil habría funcionado mejor, pero claro... No hubiera vendido tanto.
Además, en la mayoría de historias aparece el cameo de otro superhéroe (generalmente superman), como si ni siquiera las autoras confiaran plenamente en la sólida individualidad de Kara Zor-El.
Supergirl siempre será una segundona porque siempre la tratan como segundona.
Menos mal que Tom King y Bilquis Evely cambiaron un poco eso.

'Supergirl: The World'
As in, what in the world did I just read?!
It is a weird and bizarre 'Supergirl' comic, even more so as an anthology.
But darn is it entertaining, and kind of charming.
Each story sees Supergirl in different parts of the world, and exploring different cultures, histories and legends (as well as art styles).
Is this a metaphor for how she is trying to find her place in her new home of earth? Ehh, maybe?
Here are my assortment of thoughts on each of the fourteen comic short stories, starring the Woman of Tomorrow, Supergirl:
'The Chicken' - Written by Mariko Tamaki. It's okay. Supergirl helps a little girl who is being bullied by her cousins, who call her a chicken. Typical small town America shlock, and Supergirl is not as helpful as she thinks she is. But the art is nice. 3/5
'Supergirl Y La Maliciosa' - Set in the mountains of Madrid, it is about how Supergirl ends up helping the spirit of a once isolated, greedy and power-hungry witch. I don't like how an ostracised woman is portrayed as not really ostracised, but as a too-powerful being who did it to herself, who just hated other people because she thought they were beneath her. She burned everything because she didn't want to share her power and wisdom. She is in fact not the victim of a society that didn't want to accept her - it's the other way round. The line, "When you are removed from reality and underestimate those around you, your anger and your arrogance can become your ruin.", is meant to apply to her, when it could easily apply to literally every male fascist dictator ever. At least the witch's spirit is peaceful, and is happy and redeemed at the end, even if Supergirl remains as confused about what is going on as the reader. The dialogue is also strange and clunky. 2.5/5
'Dark Reflections' - Another confusing one, storywise. But it is clearly about Supergirl/Kara's self-reflection (there is a literal mirror prop here) and identity crisis. I think it is set in a villa in Italy - why is Kara there? Is she really studying, under the hot sun? Is she hiding? From what? From who? We never see who she is apparently living with. I like the expressive, detailed, symbolic, surrealist, brutal artwork, reminiscent of Renaissance paintings. But honestly, couldn't anyone have come up with a better title than 'Dark Reflections'? It's so generic. 3/5
'Foreign Skies' Sun' - Set in Siberia. It is both the most confusing and perhaps the most empowering comic of the anthology. Lex Luthor is drilling in mines for white kryptonite, and is up against female protesters, as well as Supergirl. The structure is a fast-paced mess, and the art is muddy and looks unfinished in most panels. I could hardly tell what was going on in the last couple pages, even with the overwritten dialogue balloons. But the environmental message is a good and important one, and Supergirl bonds with ordinary yet strong and determined women of different generations, so I can't completely write it off. 3/5
'Touch Ground' - Supergirl looks like a manga-esque thirteen-year-old with short, 'Dragon Ball Z' hair, and she is always drawn and written like she is ready to kill someone. But this one is funny and entertaining. It's Supergirl vs. Toyman in Argentina, Plaza Del Congreso, and it's a female empowerment story. Weirdly gorgeous, in a madcap, mad dash superhero comic kind of way. 3/5
'Children of Ngonnso' - Supergirl is in Cameroon for some reason and gets possessed by the spirit of a Nso queen. I would elaborate, but I barely know what is going on as is. Still, there are good messages about colonialism, foreign invasion, and escalated, militarised violence and conflict, and the action is decent. And I like the line, "'Tis foolhardiness, not courage... [...] ...That animates you. [...] A foul tongue only condemns you further.' But why have the white, blonde, blue-eyed Supergirl be the saviour of the Nso people? And who is she talking to on the comm - Batman or Superman? The ending is also very abrupt. 2/5
'Strong Girls Can Make History' - Now this is a hilarious mess. It is written exactly like a DC comic from the Silver Age, overwritten dialogue and thought balloons and all. Is it meant to be an homage? Supergirl is blasted back in time by a kryptonite-infused meteor, and is in Finland one hundred years in the past, when women had just won the right to vote, and the country is fighting for independence from Russia. Things aren't looking very good, but 'Strong Girls Can Make History' is clearly meant to be a story about feminism and equal rights. It's like if a Jane Austen novel got really gritty and actually cared about social change (no offense to Jane Austen or her works, I'm being a little hyperbolic). Supergirl is both bizarrely out of place and fitting in fine for the story being told. That image of her flying and lifting an automobile - an homage to the classic image of Superman lifting a green car on the cover of 'Action Comics #1' - is great. It's a fun, funny, stupid comic, with too much dialogue and thought balloons (hopefully intentionally?). 3/5
'Home Sick Home' - Like if 'Woman of Tomorrow' by Tom King was set in Turkey. Supergirl fights a nature monster Joker (yes, really), who has basically been turned into the Turkic jinn/demon Arçura. He shoots random toys and dolls of DC superheroes at her, and she has a psychological, existential crisis (yes, those two things happening really do go together). This is Krypto the Superdog's first appearance in the comic, and he helps save Supergirl, along with various ordinary animals. Batman and John Constantine show up at the end. Supergirl learns she has a home on earth after all. What a fun little comic, with dark, beautiful, well detailed artwork. 3.5/5
'Breathless' - Supergirl in Paris! And it's about her flying around, eating a lot, and getting into fights. I won't spoil the end, that reveals why Supergirl is messing around. It's kiddie, comedic silliness. 3.5/5
'Down in the Mine' - About the miners in Katowice, Poland, and Supergirl as the saviour to some of them in a cave-in. I think this might be my favourite story of the collection. It is nicely told and hopeful, and the art is gorgeous. The presence of a legendary ghost who guides Supergirl in the mines weakens the heroic impact of the story somewhat, but it isn't a dealbreaker. It's beautiful. 4/5
'The Sentinels of Chichén Itzá' - A running theme of most of these stories is Kara trying to catch a break or a holiday, away from superhero-ing, but as luck would have it, danger finds her, and she has to fight crime and save lives once more. In 'The Sentinels of Chichén Itzá', she is in Mexico, near the Pyramid of Kukulcan, trying to enjoy the Spring Equinox along with the other tourists. But of course, since all myths and legends are true and the universe hates Supergirl, spirits of giant serpents, dragons, and other animals and creatures (alebrijes) appear and start terrorising everyone, so it's up to our girl to save the day. This is another fun one, with bright, cartoony artwork. Krypto appears again, and as usual Lex Luthor is behind the chaos...somehow. Supergirl is right: Mexico is a magical country, and "Not only because of the mystical phenomena, but also because of the greatness of its people." 3.5/5
'The Extraction' - Kara is on a secret mission to find and extract an alien in Berlin, Germany. There is espionage, info pipelining, going from point A to point B, immigration and displacement themes, a portal, a cute little alien, and Krypto. It's not terribly interesting, but the art is cute and cartoony. It kind of reminds me of the 'Carmen Sandiego' reboot. 3/5
'Song of the Humpbacks' - Supergirl is just trying to relax in the sun and the sea of Colombia. But she ends up saving the whales instead. Strong environmental messages in this comic collection. It's more funny than disheartening and disillusioning that Supergirl really doesn't care much about the endangered singing whales at first, even after a couple locals beg her to help them. She's the most careless and thoughtless here, for a superhero. It's implied she's depressed about her home planet Krypton being destroyed, and not finding her place to call home on earth. She's not as overtly pessimistic as she is in a few of the other stories, however. I'm not a fan of the artwork. It looks wonky and inconsistent. Supergirl almost looks like a different character in every panel she's in, and the facial expressions she pulls are...flummoxing, fluctuating. But the rather lacklustre and mid comic ends on this line of hers: "Krypton is gone. But here, at least, I could keep another home safe.... [...] For today in any case." 2/5
'Superman & Supergirl vs. Chateraese's Cheap & Tasty Sweets' - Written by Satoshi Miyagawa. Oh boy. It's a literal manga at the end of the collection, starring high school girl Kara/Supergirl and Superman, and they eat sweets in Japan. That's pretty much it. There is so much product placement for sweets! It's so cringe! What even is this? What is happening? It's clearly a comedy one-shot, not to be taken seriously, and there are some genuinely funny lines from both Supergirl and Superman, as they are in a sibling rivalry-type relationship. The manga doesn't forget the backstories and powers of either Kryptonian. It ends on: "It usually goes like this with my cousin, Kal-El. [...] He can be an annoying nag...but we end up having fun." AND THAT'S THE END OF 'SUPERGIRL: THE WORLD', FOLKS!
I know I keep using the word bizarre to describe 'Supergirl: The World', but it's accurate. These comics, collected together, are absolutely BIZARRE. And funny. And cute. And even suitable and accessible to children.
It's a guilty pleasure DC comic, to be sure. Besides, Supergirl herself is awesome in many of the tales.
A heroine with a heart of gold, even when she has trouble expressing it, and when she desperately wants a break, as a teenager with godlike powers, and the responsibility that comes with them.
For more of my thoughts on this superheroine, read my review of 'Supergirl's Family Vacation', which also contains links to my other positive reviews of 'Supergirl' comics.
2026 - the year of Supergirl! The Woman of Tomorrow! The Maiden of Might!

Supergirl: The World
A strange visitor from another world can get around. In this anthology, we see how Supergirl is viewed in different countries. Fun loving, free spirited, but ultimately and reliably heroic.
Beautiful artwork and some absolutely fantastic stories, which embrace the legacy of the Maiden of Might.

14 countries, 14 Supergirl stories!
3.5 stars for this one (leaning towards 4 though for the sheer scope of ambition for this project).
Some of the stories could have been a bit more fleshed out (as many end abruptly). Hopefully this DC feature will ensure that these authors get the chance to tell longer Supergirl stories in the future!

Istnieją antologie, które celebrują bohatera. Są też takie, które próbują odpowiedzieć na pytanie, dlaczego dany bohater jest ważny dla ludzi żyjących tysiące kilometrów od miejsca jego narodzin. „Supergirl: The World” należy do tej drugiej kategorii. To zbiór czternastu krótkich historii przygotowanych przez twórców z różnych krajów, którzy zapraszają Karę Zor-El do swoich kultur, legend i problemów społecznych. Pomysł jest szlachetny, ambitny i, przynajmniej w teorii, idealnie pasujący do postaci bohaterki od zawsze szukającej swojego miejsca w świecie.
W praktyce, nie do końca działa jakby nam się mogło wydawać.
Największą zaletą albumu jest jego różnorodność. Kara trafia między innymi do Polski, Meksyku, Turcji, Finlandii, Kamerunu czy Japonii. Każda historia próbuje pokazać fragment lokalnej kultury: górnicze tradycje Śląska, legendy Majów, walkę o prawa kobiet w Finlandii czy problem rabowania afrykańskiego dziedzictwa kulturowego. To interesująca podróż, dzięki której Supergirl staje się bardziej obywatelką świata niż kolejną amerykańską superbohaterką eksportowaną za granicę.
Szczególnie dobrze wypadają opowieści, które potrafią połączyć lokalny kontekst z charakterem Kary. Polska historia o górnikach, meksykańska przygoda inspirowana mitologią czy melancholijna opowieść z Turcji należą do najmocniejszych punktów zbioru. W takich momentach czuć, że bohaterka naprawdę uczestniczy w wydarzeniach, a nie została jedynie „wklejona” w egzotyczne dekoracje.
Niestety wiele opowiadań cierpi na problem typowy dla podobnych projektów. Kilkanaście stron to zdecydowanie za mało, by rozwinąć ciekawsze pomysły. W rezultacie część historii przypomina raczej szkice lub streszczenia większych opowieści. Ledwo zdążymy zainteresować się intrygą, a już pojawia się ostatni kadr.
Jeszcze większym problemem okazuje się sama Supergirl. Paradoksalnie bohaterka często schodzi na drugi plan. W wielu historiach pełni rolę sympatycznej przewodniczki lub narzędzia do opowiedzenia o danym kraju. To ciekawy zabieg, ale ma swoją cenę. Kara momentami wydaje się zaskakująco jednowymiarowa, młodsza niż zwykle i mniej wyrazista niż w najlepszych współczesnych komiksach, takich jak „Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow”. Niektórzy twórcy zdają się pamiętać, że jest ona pełnoprawną bohaterką, inni traktują ją niemal jak żeńską wersję Supermana.
Za to od strony wizualnej album niemal nie zawodzi. Zmieniające się style rysowników sprawiają, że każda historia ma własną tożsamość. Od europejskich ilustracji przypominających albumy frankofońskie po pełnoprawną mangę zamykającą tom. Nawet jeśli scenariuszowo nie wszystkie opowieści trafiają w punkt, często warto obejrzeć je dla samych rysunków.
„Supergirl: The World” jest więc projektem ciekawym ale w żadnym stopniu nie wybitnym. Jego największą siłą jest idea pokazania Supergirl jako symbolu rozpoznawalnego na całym świecie. Największą słabością pozostaje fakt, że wiele historii bardziej opowiada o świecie niż o samej Supergirl.
W praktyce, nie do końca działa jakby nam się mogło wydawać.
Największą zaletą albumu jest jego różnorodność. Kara trafia między innymi do Polski, Meksyku, Turcji, Finlandii, Kamerunu czy Japonii. Każda historia próbuje pokazać fragment lokalnej kultury: górnicze tradycje Śląska, legendy Majów, walkę o prawa kobiet w Finlandii czy problem rabowania afrykańskiego dziedzictwa kulturowego. To interesująca podróż, dzięki której Supergirl staje się bardziej obywatelką świata niż kolejną amerykańską superbohaterką eksportowaną za granicę.
Szczególnie dobrze wypadają opowieści, które potrafią połączyć lokalny kontekst z charakterem Kary. Polska historia o górnikach, meksykańska przygoda inspirowana mitologią czy melancholijna opowieść z Turcji należą do najmocniejszych punktów zbioru. W takich momentach czuć, że bohaterka naprawdę uczestniczy w wydarzeniach, a nie została jedynie „wklejona” w egzotyczne dekoracje.
Niestety wiele opowiadań cierpi na problem typowy dla podobnych projektów. Kilkanaście stron to zdecydowanie za mało, by rozwinąć ciekawsze pomysły. W rezultacie część historii przypomina raczej szkice lub streszczenia większych opowieści. Ledwo zdążymy zainteresować się intrygą, a już pojawia się ostatni kadr.

If you loved “Star Wars: Visions”, you’ll love “Supergirl: The World.”
📖 “Supergirl: The World”
🏢 Publisher: DC Comics
🗓️ Published: June 2, 2026
📚 Length: 184 pages (14 short stories)
⭐ A Generous 4/5 Stars
Supergirl: The World is an anthology of short Supergirl stories written and illustrated by a group of comic book talent from around the world.
This is a truly international release and has a myriad of styles and tones and ideas. It reminds me a lot of Star Wars: Visions.
The art steals the show. It is gorgeous to flip through! Each artist brings so much passion to their contribution and the wide variety of art styles was a ton of fun. I read this digitally through Hoopla, but I can imagine it would look even more amazing in print.
There also seemed to be a lot of freedom given to the artists with Kara’s appearance. There are a lot of different costumes and hair styles in the comic. I love me an alternate costume!
The writing in stories themselves are a bit of a mixed bag. A few felt a bit underdeveloped or overly simplistic for my taste. That said, a short comic is a challenging medium and doesn’t allow a ton of room for developing a compelling narrative. It was fun to see how each author highlighted things they loved about their home country. It was patriotic in the best, most international way (kind of like the Olympics).
I have a hard time being tough on this comic. Even if the writing is a bit uneven, the concept is a ton of fun and is a risky, expensive book to produce. DC absolutely deserved kudos for commissioning it. I love anthology comics where I get to experience a wide variety of authors and art styles.
I really hope DC releases more comics like this one. I’d eat up a Batman: The World trade.

Supergirl The World is a compilation of 14 short stories from 14 different countries (France, United States, Mexico, Germany, Spain, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Serbia, Cameroon, Poland, Colombia, Argentina and Japan) about Supergirl.
What I really liked with this comic is discovering how from one country to another the artists and scenarists portray Supergirl/Kara in a different way, not only in the artstyle does she changes, in some countries she’s drawn in a more childish style while in some she’s shown more serious but her character, her emotions and the way she acts also changes a lot and I loved discovering her different faces.
My favourite short story from this comic was the one from Italy. The way Francesca Michielin, Irene Marchesini and Federica Croci portrayed and drawn Supergirl was very touching. Supergirl is most of the time portrayed as this very strong and powerful woman but here they showed a more vulnerable side of her, they showed Kara, the anxious and lost woman behind Supergirl, she’s not fighting the world or dangerous monsters but she’s fighting herself and her mental health is slowly destroying herself. "I feel like I’ve been forced to wear a mask and I’m not sure it suits me. Sometimes I feel like something is consuming me. The energy within me is wild, untamable. It’s as if the entire universe were bursting out of me in every direction. This stress is devouring me."
The stories are very short (less than 20 pages each) but if you like Supergirl you’ll definitely love having this in your collection.

Estava conversando com meu irmão: "Li Supergirl: Mundo, uma coletânea de histórias da Supergirl com autores de vários países apresentando sua versão da personagem, como já foi feito com Batman, Coringa e Superman, mas quase sempre a maioria dessas histórias parece fraquinha e infantilóide". Então, ele, sabiamente, me disse: "Mas será que a intenção dessas histórias não é ser assim mesmo?" E eu fico pensando: será que esses autores fazem histórias assim porque acham que super-heróis são fraquinhos e infantiloides em roteiro ou porque eles não conhecem essas HQs ou será que é mesmo uma diretriz da DC Comics? Fica a dúvida, mas há a certeza de que a qualidade das histórias é indubitavelmente ruim. Também estranhei que, aparentemente, teria sido anunciada uma história brasileira para esta coletânea que, no final, não está presente no especial que, apesar dos outros três terem sido propalados aos quatro ventos, este, da Supergirl, saiu meio na surdina.

I get why this exists and like the concept of having writers and artists from all over the world create short Supergirl stories. But I think the reason this book never really resonated with me is two fold. One, comic short stories just always fall flat for me. Comics are almost always episodic in nature with each issue building on the last and these are all shorter than a one shot issue so there is never really much meat on the bone with any of these other than "Superman & Supergirl Vs. Chateraese's Cheap and Tasty Treats." That one was a manga delight and a nice way to close this out. The second problem is with the character herself. Her most iconic storyline is probably when she dies Chrisis on Infanite Earths. As a result these stories end up being way more about place than character and few of the writers seem to know what to do with Supergirl.

August 15, 2026Story 1: Pretty good but nothing out of the ordinary. A 3,75 stars for me.
Story 2: Slightly clunky dialogue writing but a good idea. A solid 3 star.
Story 3: Good but I still couldn't help but seeing some italian speaking english clunk that I only notice because I'm italian myself. 3,5
Story 4: The artstyle isn't my thing but it pairs SO well with the story. The flying line as an effect was very visualy interesting. The writing itself was good but could've used being split up in multiple thought bubbles because the 1 bubble with 4 sentences were a little annoying to read. 3,75
Story 5: I HATE the design for supergirl. Extremely male gazy, straight out the 90s. Way behind in terms of how supergirl is designed by DC. The story is boring and generic "Villain kidnapping women for ???" fare. 2
Story 6: Cameroon, to be read.

Tämän albumin vahvuus ja heikkous on vaihtelevuus: jokainen tarina sijoittuu eri paikkaan ja on eri käsikirjoittajien ja kuvittajien tekemiä. Aiheet vaihtelevat pienestä, henkilökohtaisesta ja paikallisesta maailmoja syleileviksi. Tarinat ovat lyhyitä, mikä tekee niistä vähän turboahdetun tuntuisia, kun pieneen tilaan on koitettu saada massiivisia tapahtumia.
Supersankaritarinoista en suuremmin syty mistään, mutta Teräsmies ja Terästyttö ovat ehkä vielä ne heikoimmin innostavat hahmot. Naisnäkökulma sentään vähän perustelee Terästytön olemassaoloa. Useammassakin tämän kirjan tarinoista on teemana naisen asema, esimerkiksi Johanna Sinisalon käsikirjoittamassa Suomeen 1900-luvun alkuun sijoittuvassa tarinassa.

Not as keen on this as I had hoped. I found the whole thing a rather mixed bag. The art was not to my taste in a lot of these stories. Some of them, I couldn’t even tell what the heck I was looking at, but there were one or two that I found very beautiful. I’m definitely iffy on some of the characterization and didn’t really like the voice for Kara in some stories. The dialogue often felt unnatural, but that may be the result of poor translation. A lot of the stories were also either clunky, nonsensical, confusing, or hamfisted in their messaging. I’m also tired of CLARK’s DOG constantly being paired with Kara while Streaky is completely absent. Supercat is her pet! #JUSTICEFORSTREAKY

This was an absolute delight to read! Many of the stories were really fun episodes that drew out the most compelling aspects of Supergirl’s character. And a lot of the art was simply astounding. I enjoyed the chapters from Spain (Aneke’s art, coloring, and storytelling are superb; this was one of the best one-shot stories I’ve ever read) and Japan (absolutely hilarious piece with Superman and Supergirl eating various Japanese snacks, which poked fun at so many manga cliches and tropes) the most.

Like Superman: The World, this is an anthology. Creators from around the world turn in short stories starring Supergirl. Unfortunately, I don't think any of the stories did anything terribly interesting with the character. There weren't any that I hated, but I also didn't think that any of the creators made Kara exciting in her own right, instead of just being a teen girl version of Superman.

This volume contains 14 different Supergirl stories from around the world. That being said, all the stories are very short meaning that you don't really get much character development or arcs, but that's to be expected. Some of the stories really hit, but others really fall short. However, all that aside, it's really cool to see a character like this get international recognition, and for comic fans and fans of Supergirl specifically, this is a worthwhile addition to your collection.

This was so cute! I loved getting to read all the different stories and see Kara in so many different art styles. My favorite stories were Italy, France, and Poland. I love how they highlighted Kara’s strengths and her being a symbol of hope. Also, they touched on her internal struggles and how she doesn’t let them define her.
Okay, I appreciated that they mentioned Streaky, but seriously I need more Kara and Streaky and less of Kara and Krypto.

This is celebration of Supergirl and the world of comics but unfortunately I think it didn't do a great job with either part. All the stories were so very surface level and most did little to showcase their country other than drawing a monument in the background and mentioning the food. This didn't succeed for me. The art ranged from beautiful to skippable. Overall, only for the biggest of Supergirl fans.

Nothing particularly memorable about anything in this book - nothing had any real meaning to Supergirl as a character, and the cultural touches felt slight -, although most of the artwork was quite good. The Poland chapter was probably the most effective one, grounding a story in potential human tragedy, utilizing a local myth subtly yet meaningfully, and showing Supergirl as a figure who truly inspires people.

Viaje literal por diferentes países de la mano de artistas invitados de cada uno de ellos.
Es una antología de pequeñas historias centradas en mostrar distintas culturas y estilos artísticos.
Algunas te gustarán más y otras menos. Desde luego, no es un cómic al uso, y si buscas cualquier tipo de profundidad o complejidad, no la encontrarás.
Solo apto para fans no puristas de Supergirl.

A pretty mixed bag full of sweets, crackers, pretzels, and more crammed into this book. The best ones to me were Argentina and Japan (mainly because of how silly Superman Vs. Meshi is which I love). Nothing much else to say, I’m surprised only one of these stories sort of connected to the film, or at least the over all aesthetic, I thought more of the story’s would fit that mold but I guess not.

May 20, 2026This was quite good and cute! I read the first issue from Free Comic Book Day 2026, I'm excited to read the rest of the series when it comes out! I can't post an actual rating until it releases but I think that it was good overall !
