Man, both Elseworlds books going on right now are really solid. This one sets up the story great and combine that with fantastic art and a sense of mystery about where this is going has me super eager for more of this.

Parker, Sheridan and Reis put a genuinely fresh spin on a familiar premise. Rather than retelling Kara’s origin beat-for-beat, they send teenage Kara and infant Kal-El on their journey together — making her the protector from the very beginning. The issue takes its time establishing Kara as a normal teenager, nervous about asking someone to the spring formal, rolling her eyes at her parents, dealing with everyday teenage concerns on a Krypton that feels surprisingly close to our own world. Then Zod’s crackdown sends everything into chaos and the rocket launch goes sideways fast. Reis is the standout throughout — his expressions for Kara are what make you immediately care about her, and that sequence with Zod ranting is jaw-dropping. The Krypton-as-mirror-of-modern-America touches work better than they should. More setup than action, but it does exactly what a first issue should: make you want the next one immediately.

Seems like a massive retelling of the stories we're familiar with. It's currently impossible to tell how it will go, but I'm curious to read the next issue.

Interesting start, I suppose. I like how they brought Krypton to life, and the little intricacies of Kara's day (all the characters of her life on Krypton) but I don't like how they "humanised" it - why is Kara's friend throwing away a bubble tea in one scene? That doesn't make sense? The casual inclusion of Asian food is well-meant I'm sure and nice but... confused me.

I really didnt care for this.
Reis' art wasnt at his best or it could have been the colours.

It was a good retelling of the Supergirl story, stripping away her powers and forcing her to take care of her cousin. I’m curious to follow this one and see how they develop the characters.

Decent read.

Pretty good. I liked it. Interesting premise that I wish to see through. I am liking it so far. Intrigued to see where the adventure goes from here.

That was quite the gripping start. I loved the warnings popping up then bam! Everything hit so fast and so strong. I’m so intrigued by this
