    Comic Book Character Of The Month Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow

    Happy 800th Episode and Big Thank You to our listeners!!! JJ and Angus sit down to discuss our Comic Book Character Of The Month selection Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow. This graphic novel was the primary source of inspiration for the Supergirl movie in theaters today! Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow https://www.amazon.com/Supergirl-Woman-Tomorrow-Tom-King-ebook/dp/B0B6B1K23W/ It’s Supergirl like you’ve never seen her before, in a character-defining sci-fi/fantasy masterpiece from Mister Miracle writer Tom King and Wonder Woman artist Bilquis Evely! Kara Zor-El has seen some epic adventures over the years, but she now finds 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.
