Description: Does Supergirl need an introduction? I mean, sure, she doesn't get much exposure out of comics, but she's still pretty self-explanatory. You have Superman, one of the greatest and most well-known heroes ever, so naturally there exists a female version of him. Supergirl is Superman's cousin from Krypton, yeah, Superman isn't the last Kryptonian, in fact, the Supergirl before the reboot was technically older than Superman, but she was frozen in a comet or something and wasn't reawakened until she crashed into Earth many years later. So she was still technically a teenager. Unsure if that will be the case for the new Supergirl post-reboot, although it really doesn't matter in the slightest.
Oh and there's this little scene from when she was re-introduced (because there were other versions of her that existed before her that died, that was before the continuity got all fixed up and this was the Supergirl that we got quite a while later).
I could tell you the context, but I'll just let your mind run wild.
And that really has nothing to do with her new solo series here. Actually from what we can tell from the solicits, she'll be much different now. It appears she won't have the same love for humans as her cousin does, she did before, she even created a human persona like Clark Kent, hers was Linda Lang. Looks like she may not continue that identity in the reboot, which could easily be good news, because her whole "trying to fit in with humans" aspect got really boring. It's also highly likely and implied by the third solicit that she'll have a new origin, so that whole "frozen in a comet or whatever" story won't still apply.
Creative Team: The writers here aren't huge, but they're competent. They both worked on Superman/Batman stories before, and I personally enjoyed them quite a bit. Other than that, they have virtually nothing else to refer to, in terms of comics at least. I don't know what Johnson has done with his life, but Green at least has done a fair amount of writing for movies and TV... in fact, he was a co-writer for Green Lantern. Interesting. If you didn't like that movie (screw you), don't let that discourage you, as there's still two other writers in that case that you can blame, give Michael Green a chance, he definitely has the potential here.
And if that's not enough, this title will sport some great art. Asrar's style is pretty darn splendid. He hasn't done a lot, but you can see from those covers that he's good. He definitely has what Supergirl needs, he'll do great here.
Accessibility: As with the whole Super-family, they're getting the most changes, practically nothing about them from the past will matter in the reboot. It's a little sad in Superman's case, but for Supergirl (and Superboy too probably) it's a very good thing. She's been nothing but slacking since she came back the last time, this is her chance to finally split off from the influence of her cousin and become a strong female character that can stand on her own, and doesn't have to be compared to Superman constantly. No way you'll have to know anything before reading this.
Recommendation: Yeah, I would say. One of DC's most popular female characters, she's definitely worth a look. The creative team isn't honestly a sure thing, but it's EXTREMELY unlikely that they would be terrible, if anything it'll still be worth a read, I would just advise not to get your hopes up too much.
