“Supergirl is brave, kind and strong.” Isn’t that kind of a stock characterization? Very two-dimensional. Everyone knows real people have a dark side.

Hi! do you have a reading guide for what to read after crisis on infinite earths?
Btw, thank you for doing the reading guides 🫂
hi of course!! so this guide is going to be a little longer than my last ones just because there's quite a few events that kara crosses over into and a lot of comics you have to switch between, but i do want to make it as easy to follow as possible :) as always, bolded issues are required, italicized issues are recommended, and the rest are optional! also i put [brackets] around the titles of storylines/events.
Superman/Batman (2003) #8-13 (or you can watch Superman/Batman: Apocalypse (2010) instead which I recommend. the art is a lot more tasteful and it's a very faithful adaptation of the comic so you won’t be missing out on anything.)
Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes (2006) #16-36
Supergirl (2005) #1-5, 9-10, 19 (these issues feature incredibly oversexualized art and gross depictions of adult/minor relationships, but if you’re interested in kara’s early characterization, the beginnings of her friendship with cassie sandsmark, or her difficulty fitting in on earth then you’re welcome to read what i’ve provided. you can disregard anything to do with krypton and kara’s relationship with her parents as that is all retconned in later issues of the series.)
