Supergirl #1 (2025), published on May 14, 2025, marks the launch of a new ongoing series as part of DC’s "All In" and "Summer of Superman" initiatives. Written and illustrated by Sophie Campbell, the series is noted for its "Silver Age" tone with a modern, high-energy mystery.
Plot: "Misadventures in Midvale"
The debut issue follows Kara Zor-El as she leaves the shadow of the Super-Family in Metropolis to seek a fresh start in her old hometown.
- The Imposter: Upon arriving in Midvale, Kara is shocked to find that the town already has a "Supergirl" who has been saving the day for weeks.
- Identity Theft: The townspeople and even Kara's adoptive parents do not recognize her, believing the other woman—later revealed to be the Kandorian Lesla-Lar—is the real Kara Danvers.
- A New Ally: To reclaim her life and identity, Kara must team up with an unexpected partner: Lena Luthor.
Key Features & Design
- New Costume: The series debuts a new uniform for Kara, designed by renowned cover artist Stanley "Artgerm" Lau.
- Art Style: Sophie Campbell's artwork is described as bright and vibrant, emphasizing a "cozy and inviting" atmosphere despite the psychological cliffhangers.
- Continuity: While serving as a jumping-on point for new readers, the story references deep DC history, including the Bottle City of Kandor and Silver Age characters like Clarissa Giltedge.
