r/Supergirl

I haven't followed the comics for about a generation. I think it's brilliant that they're dealing with the existential grief that a teenager would feel at the loss of her entire planet, but I don't know if was dealt with in comics before now.

Thanks for the help!

I'm planning a fanfiction about where Kara would land on Earth alongside Kal-El. Initially, I was gonna do a type of story where Kara would become a superhero before Kal-El, but...I didn't really have much of a long-term idea for how it'll pan out.

However, I figured I'd make a story about how Kara would adjust to life on Earth, as well as how Kal-El would grow up, conflicted by Kara's teachings of Krypton compared to the Kents' teachings, which would confuse him and frustrate Kara, as it would risk him growing up not truly understanding his heritage. This, combined with Kara's struggles and protectiveness over her cousin, I believe, would make a more interesting story!

Even so, I'm still a bit new to DC as a whole, as I got truly into it thanks to Superman 2025, and Absolute Wonder Woman (who's becoming my favorite superhero as a whole), so I would like some advice on how to do the characters properly, especially Kara/Supergirl, who apparently was mischaracterized in the CW Supergirl compared to her comic book apperances.

Any advice for my idea would be appreciated!

I know basically nothing about Supergirl, and in general have never been a big DC fan.

I want to change that, and I’m looking for a place to start.
What comic runs would you recommend?

Thanks!
