This week DC Comics was out in force for the ComicsPro event in California. Yesterday we brought you the news of a creative restart of the Batman series. Now comes the news that one of DC’s most famous Kryptonian’s is returning with their first solo series in several years…
As part of the publishers “Summer of Superman” publishing initiative, readers will welcome back the Maiden of Might to the publisher’s roster of DC All In titles with the debut of Supergirl, an all-new DC All In series launching on May 14, written and illustrated by celebrated storyteller Sophie Campbell.
“I came up in the comics industry doing mostly graphic novels that I wrote and drew myself, so doing the same with Supergirl feels like I’m returning to my storytelling roots,” said Campbell. “My main touchstones to Kara Zor-El were the stories and the wild costumes from the 70’s, the 1984 Supergirl movie, and The CW show, which I was a huge fan of. In creating this version of Supergirl, I’ll be drawing on some of those influences as the series unfolds.”
Kara Zor-El has always been a key member of the Super-Family in Metropolis, but Campbell is taking Supergirl in a new direction among familiar surroundings, as she returns to the town of Midvale. With a new series, Supergirl also gets a new costume, designed by best-selling cover artist, Stanley “Artgerm” Lau. Supergirl’s fresh look will be spotlighted on the Supergirl #1 main cover by series writer/Campbell, a cardstock and foil variant by Artgerm, as well as variant covers by Bilquis Evely, Pablo Villalobos, Joshua Middleton and W. Scott Forbes.
Supergirl #1 will release in comic book stores in May 2025.
