Of the many aspects to DC’s Rebirth, finding the right balance between continuities has thus far proved the trickiest. While some titles have more or less hit the ground running with little to no backtracking, others are forced to clean up their collective pieces before the real story can begin. Supergirl Rebirth falls into that second category. As a result the debut from Steve Orlando and Emanuela Lupacchino is an overstuffed affair, though by issue’s end there’s enough of a clear direction to get fans excited for the further adventures of the Girl of Steel.
Given Kara Zor-El’s somewhat rocky New 52 tenure, Orlando had a fair amount of cleanup going into this new series. And to his credit, this first issue manages to ease into most of those past beats, such as Kara being without her powers, without overloading the read with exposition. That said, the issue has a fair amount of ground to cover, and new readers may have trouble keeping up with the sheer amount of specific information. Beyond that, Orlando also has to set up the ongoing tone of the read, establishing Kara’s new civilian identity, her relationship with her “parents”, and her role as a member of the Department of Extranormal Operations. Add in the serendipitous return of a Kryptonian werewolf, the rebirth of Kara’s Super-powers and a good amount of parental innuendo, and you get a read that’s bursting with content, sometimes to its detriment.
