The following pages are truly harrowing to say the least and the unmitigated horror that had taken place is truly overwhelming. Its not long after this beautiful exchange that Kara learns the full extent of what has transpired in this sleepy town and just how Krem is involved. Seeing Kara talk Ruthye through the process of them flying together highlights this point perfectly. The pairs ever growing connection and bond is a consistant highlight for me that I love to see develop. Tom King has really cultivated a beautiful relationship between these two beings who couldn’t be more different from one another. Seeing Kara protect Ruthye while being showered in bullets is oddly relaxing, there’s a real sense of calm and serenity washed over this scene and this is definitely due to Ruthye’s relaxed demeanour in the arms of Kara. This is the only version of Supergirl I can see taking on this quest.

Kara swears and certainly doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty. This really is a unique take on Kara, Tom King’s interpretation of the character is a lot more rougher round the edges than what we are used to.

Much of the issue sees Kara and Ruthye attempt to uncover this mystery from a number of angles. I love how with each new encounter we garner more and more information about the town and what lurks beneath the surface. We learn so much about what we are seeing through her eyes and her own lived experiences. Ruthye’s intricate and descriptive dialogue adds layer upon layer to her surroundings as well as the inhabitants that dwell within. This issue is all about the build as Kara and Ruthye discover a gruesome secret that the townsfolk have attempted to keep hidden. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #3 sees Kara and Ruthye follow Krem to the planet Coronn and to the village of Maypole where all is not quite as it seems.
