Supergirl Vol. 6: Crucible by Tony Bedard
4.0
The best of the New 52 Supergirl run also happens to sadly be the last of it. I usually enjoy Bedard's stories, and this is no exception, particularly since it's a return to a more classic and optimistic Supergirl after a long run of an angry and isolated one. Granted, I enjoyed those just fine (with the exception of Asrar's art...never been able to really get into it), but this is more the Supergirl I am familiar with.
Lupacchino's art is astoundingly good. Her work is a little reminiscent of Hughes or Dodson but better in every way. IMHO. It fits the tone and scope of the book like a glove. I hope she gets to revisit the character.
Aside from a jarringly out of place Future's End issue tacked onto the end, this is a fun story I would recommend to anyone that likes the character. I'm only sad that it had to bookend the series. Maybe the new TV series will encourage DC to relaunch the book looking for an expanded audience.
