Supergirl #76

The cover tagline says it all — "Trouble's Afloat for Supergirl" — and the image delivers on that promise with cheerful chaos: two versions of Supergirl (one in a classic white-and-blue costume, one in the familiar blue-and-red) are caught up in a runaway parade float shaped like a giant costumed figure, confetti flying as a "Welcome Supergirl" banner waves amid a scrambling crowd below. Rob Haynes's cover art gives the whole scene a bright, almost carnival-fair energy that makes the impending disaster feel oddly fun. Peter David's writing paired with Ed Benes and Alex Lei's interior art promises the kind of sharp, character-driven storytelling this 2003 run was known for — and with two Supergirls tangled up in the same parade, "Many Happy Returns Part Two" looks like it's anything but a quiet celebration.
