Everyone knows that Supergirl is one of the only remaining Kryptonians, but rarely does a story focus on the horrors that come with survival. What does it mean to carry the weight of your entire world, and how does that affect your ability to live in a new one? Kara Zor-El's journey through the New 52 brought her so much anguish that there was only one place she could possibly find piece of mind: the Red Lantern Corps, home to those who have nothing left but their rage.

Kara Zoe-El of Krypton. You have great rage in your heart. You belong to the Red Lantern Corps.

I do wish her tenure with the Red Lanterns lasted a little longer
Kara and Kals differences can also be viewed as a family whos split between those who have immigrated to a new place and grew up there and those who stayed behind and cherish the homeland because they actually lived there.
That’s why imo she was the true last kryptonian
I can't say I've read many Supergirl stories, but Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King is not only one of my favorite comics, but one of my favorite stories period. It's an eight issue limited series set in continuity during the Infinite Frontier initiative and follows Kara as she helps a young girl track down her father's killer across the galaxy. This book also touchs on the trauma that Kara experienced as a result of Krypton's destruction and, like most Tom King books, is an excellent character study. If you enjoy Supergirl even a littl bit, I can't reccomend this book enough. Though you may want to brush up on your Comet the Super-Horse history before you read it. I'm not joking.
King is surprisingly good at writing Superman and Supergirl stories. Better than all of his Batman run.
That was one of my favourite New52 books. I assume it wasn't well received since it got a new writer shortly after the Red Lantern run. Maybe it was too different from old Supergirl books but it was the only Supergirl I've read from start to end. I also loved the boots and cape from that run. The swimsuit body with long arms was weird but it's easily her best costume to date.
Ya of course Kara became a red lantern. Like goddamn, trauma conga line anyone?
But fuck man red daughter of krypton was a great story, along with red lanterns. Such a shame it ended
Guy was the uncle kara needed.
Originally, when she was introduced, they didn't seem to know what to do with Supergirl. They didn't really wind her into the superhero community that Superman was a part of but she wasn't hunted or abused or attacked. She wasn't even that well known. What changed that was when she was added to the Legion of Superheroes along with a teen-aged Clark Kent (Superman as a teenager, subsequently changed in continuity). She worked as one of the big guns of the Legion, even more than Superboy in some cases and Monel (and Ultra Boy really). Fighting cosmic threats, she really became the confident, capable superhero that they didn't seem to be able to make her in the 20th century. And then they killed her in the Crisis (of Infinite Earths).They tried half measures of bringing back the character till they brought her back for real but they couldn't resist making it hard on her (though compared to what you described in this video, it was a walk in the park). But she never really came back after that first Crisis as a stable, developed character. It's quite sad really because THAT is the Supergirl I'd like to see again. Check out the Legion comics just before the 5 year gap before they rebooted it about a million times. Those were the epic days of the legion and Supergirl.
That sounds great, I'll look for those issues. Thanks!
I wouldn't mind seeing this adapted into an animated film.
Kara's continuity has been a mess tbh. She bounced around in Superman comics for a decade, had a shallow series in the 70s, and had a decent series in the 80s -- right before being killed off in Crisis.
The take of her being frustrated at the trauma of firsthand experiencing the death of Krypton and struggling to adapt to the new alien world that is Earth - I believe this mainly started when she was reintroduced to DC continuity in 2004. And nowhere is it more perfectly symbolized than with her Red Lantern arc - thank you for covering this. The Emotional Spectrum really does offer a perfect playground for writers to do emotional character arcs.
Some interesting pre-N52 stories were the Bizarrogirl one and her part in the New Krypton arc. It's great listening Sterling Gates discussing his time on the title.
Post-New52, Woman of Tomorrow was simply fantastic. We see she still carries the trauma from the death of Krypton, but has been able to grow past it and be a kind good-hearted hero, an inspirational role model for Ruthye, the young girl she travels with in this adventure.
Future State Superwoman touches on similar themes, portraying a much older Kara. Though I must recommend Woman of Tomorrow first and foremost.
The Matrix and Linda Danvers stuff is a completely different character. Peter David's run on Linda Danvers Supergirl is incredible , and culminates in Many Happy Returns, which imo is the quintessential Supergirl story - but a large portion of its weight is steeped in already knowing Supergirl continuity lore and already being a fan of the Linda Danvers character's journey.
Supergirl: Being Super is a really fun read, though it's noncanon. It's a different Kara origin story without the trauma.
New 52 supergirl was my introduction to that character and I always though this story was good
Honestly one of my favorite comics period. I think shes perfect as a red lantern and miss this version of kara.
Me too, i would prefer this lasts at least more numbers.
I just want to say I love your channel so much and it's really one of the best if not the best comics related channel
Thank you so much!
I don’t read Supergirl or know a lot about her story but great video and such tragedy she has had.
Love guy with a full beard too and wish he would grow one back to further his look.
One more thing to mention even though normally when a red lantern is first made they have no comtrol kara is so strong she had a small amount of control even in that state. Mostly who and where to punch but even that is amazing to overcome.
For a while I thought the concept of Red Lantern Supergirl was a hat on a hat, but ya sold me on its efficacy.
You know what makes this a lot worse? Her cousin in this version is the new 52 Superman.
powergirl as a way to contrast kara is actually a really good use of her character. I have also heard good things about the peter david run, but that super girl is different from this one.
Honestly id love to see her go red lantern again like maybe having it where she has to dawn a red ring to fight a villain whos too strong for a regular kryptonian to fight
Red Lantern Supergirl is dope.
Of course like Guy Gardner in that story, bc Supergirl has her development character on this arc and returning in the same way would be catastrophic.
@@TextosyGraficos if i remember right guy gardner helped train super girl while she was a red lantern and she even managed to escape death by taking off her ring while on the sun.
@@jacobweatherford4696 one of the likeable moments of guy
Amazing video!! deserves more views.
Thanks!
I absolutely loved Supergirl V3 and V4. Matrix Supergirl is so interesting to me. I don’t want to give anything away, so I’ll just say it’s a good and fun read.
personally in my opinion I wasn't a fan of new 52 supergirl but I am glad you enjoyed that series more then I did but honestly to answer your question my favorite supergirl run had to be supergirl rebirth run especially her meeting pre52 superman and lois lane and their son Jonathan Samuel Kent Superboy as his little 10 year old self was really cute and adorable and made me so happy but that's just my opinion.
in the beginning of the rebirth supergirl run, i wasn't a fan of. But i did like what marc anydraco and jody houser did for the character after orlando's run.
7:25 Bro, it is L, after L, after L, what a tragic journey 😕 armazing character
That's the struggle of being a hero but thats what make them so inspiring.
I could kill, just to see this version of Supergirl as a tv serie!
This is really interesting it makes me want to see more of a relationship like a brother sister or father-daughter thing with guy and Kara like they hang out or she sees Guy More as family then she does Clark.
These comic writers most really hate Supergirl.
When are you gonna do a video about Larfleeze my friend? He is by far my favorite.
I've had an idea for a Larfleeze video for a while, it's just a matter of finding time and fitting it into the schedule. Don't worry, it'll come.
@@MosaicComics thank you, brother!
I just read new 52 supergirl
Fantastic video. No clue why this channel doesn't have more subs, it's super underrated
*Jesus christ I hate the New 52.* Everyone is like the worse version of themselves and while there are interests storylines and some characters were improved, overall its just edgy, pseudo philosophical garbage.
Was actually happy when Doomsday Clock relegated it to it's own reality and forgot about it. As much as I liked stories like this, it was for the best.
Ur point of view, News 52 was a 50/50 good for Supergirl, Swamp Thing, Green Lantern and Animal Man but bad for Superman, Titans or Lobo 🤮
New 52 is so sad
Probably my favourite version of her Charcter
Did you read superman action comics vol 1 warworld rising by phillip kennedy johnson, you said that you read super man in trade format so did you read it.
Except for Out of Past, I enjoy this run so much, one of my favorites, it's a shame they cancelled it, the good thing is they gave it an "ending" like Avengers EMH.
As The Grand Priest of The Temple of the Algorithm, I bless this video with a comment.
Atrocitus prolly thinks she's too nice to Tomar Re...
awesome !!!!
10:41 saving my place
Oh...the ending makes me feel as tho she is emotionally dead. All well.
it's a nice summary, he skipped several parts and the truth is that the journey of the new 52 version of supergirl really wasn't as good as he makes it sound, although I totally agree that thanks to her adventure with the red lanterns her comic really got better
If I want to introduce myself to the character of Supergirl, which comics should I read first? Can someone recommend me for a follow-up of the character?
Supergirl seems like a really cool character and I want to know more about her.
If you want a origin run, Supergirl News52 is a modern start for the character, you can see/read the process of how Kara deals with post traumatic stress after krypton destruction and at the end a Kara finally "accepting" her new life and starting to became the Supergirl personality we see on animated movies.
Why she not a Blue Ranger? If her hope is Strong give her a ring 💍
She would be Red and Blue Lantern like Razer from Young Justice.
How does she not obtain a blue ring afterwards? Or did it not exist yet?

Kara letting go of her red ring of rage should have been the catalyst for her becoming a blue lantern much like Razer.
