After the Lasso of Truth reveals something unexpected about Supergirl’s infection, Wonder Woman is quickly running out of ways to try to bring Kara back peacefully.

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. Sometime in the future, her greatest tragedy will come as a result of a battle with Supergirl...and she wonÕt allow that to happen. Now sheÕs manipulated Magog, Solomon Grundy, the sorceress Selena and the android Indigo into joining her as the Fatal Five, and theyÕre going to make sure that SupergirlÕs future stops dead in its tracks. It starts with a devious attack on Supergirl that leaves her powers out of control and slowly destroying her. But the Fatal Five arenÕt just going after SupergirlÑevery aspect of Kara Zor-ElÕs life on Earth is under attack. 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.
