Supergirl #47

Two versions of Supergirl face each other in a charged, electric-lit chamber on Joshua Middleton's striking cover — one in a dark alternate costume holding a golden, crackling helmet aloft, the other in the familiar blue-and-red standing watchfully behind her. Sterling Gates and Matt Camp's "Pain and Responsibility" promises a story wrestling with identity and consequence, themes that feel palpable just from this tense, mirror-image composition. It's a compelling January 2010 chapter in Kara Zor-El's ongoing journey.
