Many Happy Returns

So the word is out on what’s coming up for SUPERGIRL. If you head over to Comicon.com, you’ll read all about the return of–maybe–Kara Zor-El in the 75th issue of SUPERGIRL.

Bottom line is, I believe that there are still potential readers for the series out there who aren’t even giving it a try because it’s not the Silver Age cousin of Superman (you remember…the one who could never sustain a series). And I figured, Y’know, let’s embark on a development that will pull in even those readers. And let’s play off a cover that is one of the most instantly recognizable cover images that DC has ever produced, so much so that a statue was produced and sold of the moment. Although in reviewing that sequence as I prepped the issue, I was struck by the fact that Kara’s ship was crumbled upon landing. Shouldn’t it have been “invulnerable?”

At any rate, the seeds for the storyline actually start being sown with issue #73, so be on the lookout for it. And if you’re not reading the book and want to start, for heaven’s sake tell your retailer.
