Series: Supergirl

Summary

Supergirl #1 (2016) opens the solo series for Supergirl during DC Rebirth, written by Steve Orlando with artists including Brian Ching and Emanuela Lupacchino, launching a new phase for Kara Zor-El alongside the Supergirl: Rebirth one-shot. The story follows in the wake of Krypton's destruction: Kara Zor-El is Superman's cousin, but because her escape pod was knocked off course during Krypton's explosion and drifted in space for a long time, she arrives on Earth still a teenager while her younger cousin Kal-El has long since grown to adulthood. The Rebirth-era story moves her from Metropolis to National City, where she reintegrates into life on Earth as "Kara Danvers" and enters the media industry, struggling to balance an ordinary teenage life with the responsibilities of a superhero. This volume is issue #1 of the series, containing the opening of the main storyline, establishing Kara's new home, new identity, and new relationships, and setting up a threat from Krypton's past. The versions most commonly read by Chinese readers come from unofficial fan translations (such as those by the SLOMO scanlation group), so this entry contains no publication information for an official Chinese edition; facts such as the author and issue number follow the original DC publication. This issue is a suitable starting point for understanding Supergirl's storyline during the Rebirth era.

Editor's review

Supergirl是DC最富辨识度的女性超级英雄之一，但在不同时期，她的形象各异：有琳达·丹弗斯的年代，有「新52」的冷峻叛逆，也有《重生》时期更接近青少年成长故事的温暖转向。《Supergirl》第1期正是后者的开端：编剧Steve Orlando把镜头拉回「一个刚落地不久、还不会当地语言和习俗的外星少女」，让超能力不再是万能解药，反而放大了她的孤独与笨拙。相比同期的超人主线，这本期刊的节奏更轻快，重心在校园、职场和家庭关系上，对不熟悉DC大事件的读者也相对友好。画面上，Brian Ching与Emanuela Lupacchino的线条干净明亮，动作分镜清晰，很能体现「S」标志的动感。若你是因影视剧或动画《超级少女》而入坑，这期是衔接漫画原作的合适入口。需要提醒的是，本词条对应的是DC原版单期，中文阅读多为汉化组版本，装帧、页序可能与正式合订本略有差异。

Reading tips

先读《Supergirl: Rebirth》特刊，再接第1期，人物关系和设定会更清楚。
留意卡拉与堂弟超人的年龄错位设定，它是理解这个角色孤独感的关键。
若读汉化版，建议对照英文原刊核对人名与地名译法，避免与别的版本混淆。
读完第1期可顺势读合订本《Reign of the Cyborg Supermen》（收录Rebirth#1与第1—6期）。

FAQ

这本是DC的《Supergirl》第1期吗？

是。2016年DC「重生」时期开启的《Supergirl》个人刊第1期，编剧为Steve Orlando；同系列另有1982年、2011年等多个版本的《Supergirl》#1，注意不要混淆。

有正式的中文简体版吗？

目前未见可靠资料显示该期有中国大陆正式出版的简体中文单行本，中文阅读多为汉化组版本，因此本词条未填写出版社中文名、ISBN与字数。

没读过《Supergirl: Rebirth》能直接看吗？

可以读，但会缺少对「为何搬到国家市」「新身份如何建立」等前提的了解。建议先读Rebirth特刊，再进入第1期。

这一册是否包含完整故事？

第1期只是开篇，完整故事弧延续到第6期，后续收录于合订本《Supergirl Vol.1: Reign of the Cyborg Supermen》。
