DC’s official preview for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #1 features the Girl of Steel encountering trouble while trying to celebrate her birthday.
DC Comics has revealed official preview pages for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, along with the covers for the second and third issues of the eight-issue miniseries.
Written by Tom King (Mister Miracle, Batman, Strange Adventures) and illustrated by Bilquis Evely (Sandman Universe: The Dreaming) with Mat Lopes on colors and Clayton Cowles on letters, the preview features a girl named Ruthye who seeks vengeance against the man who killed her father. She encounters a bounty hunter and offers to give him a one-of-a-kind sword in exchange for killing the “Kingsagent.” However, the hunter opts to take the sword from Ruthye and go on his way — until he is stopped by a drunken Supergirl, who came to the planet to celebrate her 21st birthday as the red sun nullifies her powers.
Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow #1
- Written by Tom King
- Art and cover by Bilquis Evely and Mat Lopes
- Kara Zor-El has seen some epic adventures over the years, but has recently found her life without meaning or purpose. Here she is, a young woman who saw her planet destroyed and was sent to Earth to protect a baby cousin who ended up not needing her. What was it all for? Wherever she goes, people only see her through the lens of Superman’s fame.
- Just when Supergirl thinks she’s had enough, everything changes. An alien girl seeks her out for a vicious mission: her world has been destroyed and the bad guys responsible are still out there. She wants revenge and if Supergirl doesn’t help her, she’ll do it herself, whatever the cost.
- Now, a Kryptonian, a dog and an angry heartbroken child head out into space on a journey that will shake them to their very core!
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow marks the first new Supergirl series in years, and spins out of the Infinite Frontier initiative. The series finds Kara Zor-El searching for purpose in her life — only to be drawn into an adventure by Ruthye, who seeks revenge for the death of her planet. King previously described Ruthye as readers’ “new favorite DC character” and also hinted that Woman of Tomorrow would connect to Peter David and Gary Frank’s previous run on Supergirl.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #1 by Tom King, Bilquis Evely and Mat Lopes, with a variant by Gary Frank and Alex Sinclair, goes on sale June 15 from DC.
