Superman The Man Of Steel Relaunches Supergirl Series On A Rogol Zaar Quest To Learn More About DC’s Big Bad.

SyFy reports:

      Supergirl is back in the monthly mix at DC Comics! SYFY WIRE can exclusively report that Kara Danvers will return to her regularly scheduled adventures this August with issue #21 of Supergirl.

      The new Eisner Award-winning creative team of writer Marc Andreyko and artist Kevin Maguire is taking over the title and taking Kara in an entirely new direction.

      That’s not all. Supergirl is also getting some updated threads as part of the new approach. We’ve got your first look at four new Supergirl costumes, as designed by artist Jorge Jimenez. These outfits range from faithful variations to Kara’s classic duds to a wildly different suit…

      …The new designs will be part of the current storyline introduced with Issue #21, which will send Supergirl on a cosmic quest to learn more about Rogol Zaar. He’s the planetary-crushing villain introduced by Brian Michael Bendis and Jim Lee in Bendis’ debut story in the landmark Action Comics #1000. Kara and her cousin Superman were involved in a huge battle with Zaar, who claims to have been the true source of the destruction of Krypton. The new Supergirl story arc will be directly connected to the storyline running through Bendis’ weekly mini-series, Man of Steel.

Here are the 4 looks of Supergirl for her series’ relaunch.

The hooded look has some similarity to the modern pre-Rebirth Superwoman’s threads; Lucy Lane, Lois Lane’s sister, was under the hood then.

So, what do you think of Supergirl’s new creative team and costumes?
