#I have read some comics with this version of Supergirl in them before#but it’s been a few years and I wasn’t reading them for her#I liked this story as an introduction to her#she’s seemingly an ideal hero but she isn’t satisfied and is having an existential crisis#which is interesting to me in contrast to Linda’s admiration for her and the path that she ended up going on#but it’s also interesting to me on its own#in this story she compares herself to a ghost#is juxtaposed in the position of the deceased mother she’d only managed to save the baby of#she talks about how her life only consists of trying to save people and isn’t anything like a regular person’s#and reaches the low point of wondering if she’s even alive and from there if anyone is#she reminds me a bit of Valkyrie before the reveal that she was an amnesiac being from Asgard#and was portrayed as this magically created adult superhero who had nothing outside of her superhero life#and was wondering if she could even be a real person without the childhood memories that make up a person#dc#mae kent#my posts#comic panels
