Supergirl: Survive #1 Preview

 

 

Kara Zor-El should be hanging out with her friend Sav at the Argo Pier. Instead, she sits on a couch as her parents argue with her aunt and uncle. It seems as though her father and uncle constantly argue these days. But it's not without cause. Difficulties assail her planet at every level. And she only has to look out her window, at the green orb in the sky, to realize how badly things can go. 

So as another family discussion descends into argument, Kara holds her newborn cousin, and quietly vows to protect him with her life. How will the political situation strengthen and stress her family? And what are her days at Kandor Primary Academy like, when Kara can just attend classes, and hang out with Sav?

Ethan Parker, Griffin Sheridan, and Rod Reis take Supergirl on a new Elseworlds journey!

 

Kara Zor-El lives a life of small problems. How are you supposed to hold a floppy little baby like her new cousin Kal? Who should she ask to the spring formal? And when will her father and her uncle Jor-El stop squabbling? But the planet Krypton has big problems…like the militaristic dictator Zod ruthlessly crushing dissent and threatening to unleash the planet’s most dangerous weapons on the opposition. And when things boil over and Krypton begins to burn, Kara and her infant cousin will find themselves trapped together in a prototype rocket, struggling to survive in a hostile universe that doesn’t care if they live or die…and which might prefer the latter!

 

Breakout writers Ethan Parker and Griffin Sheridan (Eisner Award nominee Kill Your Darlings) join visionary artist Rod Reis (New Mutants) to tell the story of teenage Kara and infant Kal, sent on their journey through the stars together, not apart…that is, as long as Kara can keep him alive!
