Who Wore it Better: Supergirl or True Grit?
In my review of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #1, I noted some similarities between the comic and Charles Portis’s 1969 novel True Grit, most recently adapted in 2010 by the Coen Brothers. Well, in talking about the particulars of the issue a bit more, my colleague Zach Rabiroff at ComicsXF was able to bring to…
REVIEW: Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #1 Tries to Have True Grit
I have a history with Tom King’s books. That history is that I don’t much like them at all. I feel like King tries too hard to write smart books, that he often veers too far into it. He tries to set up mysteries in the laziest way possible by just omitting key information from…
Supergirl’s Final Tour Begins With “Rebirth”
For the last five years, I’ve been able to see my favorite character soar on the small screen. Melissa Benoist has fully embodied everything I love about the character, and she will forever be the person I see when I think of Supergirl. The show has also been a professional highlight of my career, being…
The Creative Team for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is… ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
Oh hey! So if you read DC’s newest big universe status quo setting book, you may have caught a nice surprise (or you might have seen a different comic site break an embargo to announce it last week). Supergirl’s getting her series back! Wonderful news! Very excited for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow to launch in…
Supergirl Tackles Transphobia in “Reality Bytes”
When I saw the trailer for this week’s episode of Supergirl, “Reality Bytes,” I was a little worried about how it would handle the subject matter. While the show has done a fantastic job with how it’s treated Nia Nal and trans-related issues, this subject in particular needs a lot of nuance, so I was concerned…

Supergirl at SDCC: Shared Experiences
Like last year, I was privileged enough to attend the Supergirl press room at SDCC this year. Unlike last year, I was also able to sneak into the panel later in the day to catch that news as well. Much like last year, the press room was a highly emotional event for me, this time…
Hope in the Face of Adversity: Corinne McCreery on Supergirl
This might come as a surprise to some, but Corinne McCreery really loves Supergirl [WHAT?! —Ed.]. And it’s no wonder. Supergirl is a beacon of honesty and being true to yourself and passionately fighting for the things and people she cares about, which is a great description of Cori, too. But let’s let Cori speak…
