Supergirl Woman Of Tomorrow Hardcover

Cover Art by Ming Chiu.

“The world is a dangerous place,” Kara Zor-El says at the end of her second issue of The Amazing

Atom magazine. Not to mention it’s a dangerous place for her new alter ego, Clark Kent. On this issue,

Clark has teamed up with the latest member of DC
to foil Thanagorda’s attempts at stopping the government’s plans to use Kryptonian technology to
end the country’s darkest hour. Together, they’ll try to save the world from the unknown and most
dangerous forces that threaten it from every angle—save a world that has suddenly begun
looking like Krypton.
This first issue is a perfect blend of Clark’s superpowers and those of his secret identity — taking his
self-image as a common, everyday kid hero and transferring it with everything that it embodies. Kara
takes her lead from the creators of the New 52 incarnation of the character, Henry Gillette and John
Owen — and makes her own her own journey with Clark, one that leads up to this issue and the
next one on which his future is foretold. “Most of the stuff that’s happening in the DC Universe,
the new super powers were discovered by the creators and characters,” Kara says. “We’ve
written that we have no idea what’s going to happen. And we’ve realized that that’s one of the
baddest secrets that have ever been in print, if we write from fiction, no one’s ever going to
know. For the beginning story, we set it up that these people have been doing things in their
20s and 30s that nobody would know about, because the powers would be rare. We didn’t want to
have a kid superhero, or a hero in his 20s who could not fly. We didn’t want to have the
terrible, bad day where both Clark and Ben may be killed, in 20 years, by a terrorist firework that
burned down a fairgrounds during the 1980s, because if that happened and people kept dying…”
Clark is the most experienced and guarded member of the team.
