supergirl

Supergirl my beloved <3. I am planning on going on an all Supergirl reading spree. And as always, I am doing that completely out of order. Instead of doing a planned reading because I am bad with those, I just gathered some important books and the surrounding issues I want to read.

So my girl Kara has had multiple eras throughout her life. Classic pre-crisis, weird 90s Supergirl, 2000s brought back Supergirl, New-52 version, Rebirth version and her current form. And because I am consistent in being an inconsistent reader, I have started with reading her 90s era <3.

Matrix, aka Mae Kent is the new Supergirl. She is a shapeshifting energy life-form created by an alternate Lex Luthor in a parallel pocket dimension, who fused her being with an Earth girl, Linda Danvers, who has done a lot of wrong in her life and gotten mixed up in the dealings of demons. The result of the fusing is the new Supergirl, who is the Earth-born Angel of Fire.

Currently I am reading her main solo, Supergirl (1996), but I want to read her former mini-solo - Supergirl (1994) - too, her first appearance and other appearances of her in other books. I know she appeared in Young Justice (1998), and I've already read that issue, so that is at least one appearance checked off the list.

Later on, I want to start with her 2000s series, Supergirl (2000) and her other important appearances. I love teenage Kara so much, she is such a delight.

And then... her 80s series, Supergirl (1982). Linda Lee Danvers my beloved. And maybe I will read some Rebirth too (even though based on the cw show I am still curious and it doesn't look too bad) and some Silver Age as well :).

i've got a lot of supergirl comics, a whole row and then some haha! i think i have like... every major volume from the silver age up to now? i'm not sure on supergirl history though so i might be missing some stuff but i think i have all the major stuff. older stuff less so, but that goes for the whole server, i'm severely lacking in silly golden/silver age stuff haha.

oh [community profile] malagraphic has some beautiful woman of tomorrow & world's finest icons, and i'd look around at [community profile] comicbook_icons as well, they have a supergirl tag thankfully. also if you have the time to kill you can look through [livejournal.com profile] prey, there's a LOT of comic icons there but fair warning a lot of them are uncredited fanart icons i believe
