Supergirl #36

Supergirl stands front and center on Emanuela Lupacchino's vivid pink-and-purple cover, fist clenched and cape flowing, while looming behind her are three shadowy figures — a menacing demon-like face, a stern woman, and a cloaked mysterious figure — all hinting at the threat posed by the Crucible. The cover's bold question, "What Is the Menace of the Crucible?", sets up the first chapter of this New 52 arc with a real sense of intrigue. Writers K. Perkins and Mike Johnson, along with artist Lupacchino, bring a striking visual energy to this 2015 chapter of Kara's ongoing story.
