Another solid Supergirl story. There's a reason this is one if the only books I follow from the New 52. I thought the Red Lantern story would be annoying, but it actually worked pretty well. I hate any time Superman & Supergirl are together. That relationship is somehow both frustrating and uninteresting. Looking forward to V. 6.

A decent idea that was horribly lacking in execution. Decent art coupled with some mindless writing made this an ok read.

Kara becomes a red lantern because she is angry, tired and in pain. And I loved it so much.
Teen girls are never allowed in media to be angry and it is wonderful to see that Kara has a space to deal with her complicated and very understandable emotions. Red Daughter of Krypton shows a huge development from Kara. She had embraced her past, but finally, she embraces her powers and emotions. I'm glad that the comic deals with Kara's trauma. Stories with superheroes normally ignore emotional and psychological aspects. And mental health is very important.
I also liked the message of "there is power on anger because being angry is a normal and sometimes necessary emotion." Again, I'm glad that Kara, as a teen girl, has a space to be angry and burned the world to the ground.
