Fans of the hit Supergirl series on The CW will love this fresh take on the Girl of Steel from writer Steve Orlando in Supergirl Vol. 3: Girl of No Tomorrow. The Emerald Empress has had a vision.

Her boss Cat Grant and the new CatCo Reporting app. Her family and friends at the Department of Extranormal Operations. Even her relationship to the National City citizens she loves and protects. One thing is certainÑthe Fatal Five will mean either the end of SupergirlÕs life...or the end of her life as she knows it. Collects Supergirl #12-14 and Annual #1.
The CW's hit adaptation of Supergirl is a new take on the classic DC character for a new audience. With diverse female characters, it explores different versions of the female experience. No single character embodies a feminist ideal but together they represent attributes of the contemporary feminist conversation. This collection of new essays uses a similar approach, inviting a diverse group of scholars to address the many questions about gender roles and female agency in the series. Essays analyze how the series engages with feminism, Supergirl's impact on queer audiences, and how families craft the show's feminist narratives. In the ever-growing superhero television genre, Supergirl remains unique as viewers watch a female hero with almost godlike powers face the same struggles as ordinary women in the series.
Supergirl has her hands full. Not only is she adjusting to life on Earth as a superhero, sheÕs also leading a double life as high school student Kara Danvers. And sheÕs working for Cat Grant. And sheÕs helping the Department of Extranormal Operations keep a handle on her fellow Kryptonian refugees. With so much going on, Kara barely has time to think about her future. But SupergirlÕs future is very much on the mind of the Fatal Five. They believe that Kara will do something terrible sometime soon, and they want to destroy her now before it can happen. But when their attack traps SupergirlÕs friend in the Phantom Zone, Supergirl wonÕt have to rescue him alone...because Batgirl is along for the ride! Now, the two heroes are trapped in the Kryptonian prison dimension and at the mercy of the ZoneÕs ruler, the Phantom King! Can Supergirl and Batgirl hope to escape with KaraÕs powers fading by the minute? Or will they end up as permanent subjects of the Phantom King? Red-hot writer Steve Orlando (JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA) and artists Brian Ching (GEARS OF WAR) and new comer Matias Bergara (AMERICAN VAMPIRE) take Supergirl into the next dimension of the DC Universe Rebirth!
