Kara Zor-El has seen some epic adventures over the years, but has recently found her life without meaning or purpose. Here she is, a young woman who saw her planet destroyed and was sent to Earth to protect a baby cousin who ended up not needing her. What was it all for? Wherever she goes, people only see her through the lens of Superman’s fame.
Just when Supergirl thinks she’s had enough, everything changes. An alien girl seeks her out for a vicious mission: her world has been destroyed and the bad guys responsible are still out there. She wants revenge and if Supergirl doesn’t help her, she’ll do it herself, whatever the cost.
Now, a Kryptonian, a dog and an angry heartbroken child head out into space on a journey that will shake them to their very core!
Brought to you by Eisner Award-winning writer Tom King (Batman/Catwoman, Mister Miracle and Rorschach) and Eisner nominee artist Bilquis Evely (Sandman Universe: The Dreaming) this maxiseries promises to be a character-defining masterpiece the likes of which has never been seen before for DC’s Maiden of Might.

"It's too big. We're too small."
What an incredible story about healing from your past, showing what it means to be a hero and the importance of any simple act of kindness. But it also shows us how even the best, the kindest, can get worn down from the horrid things that happen all around the universe, and for that matter, our little rock in it. It's wrapped in a Sci-Fi-western of epic proportions, but never feels like it's too grand. The core is personal, and it remains so.
Not super keen on the execution of the ending but man what a ride!
