DC Comics Universe and Supergirl #36 Spoilers and Review follows.

A Noble Heroine Gets Caught Between Apex Lex Luthor and The Batman Who Laughs?!

Secret Six’s Newest Infected Member!

Brainiac 1.0 has received Apex Lex Luthor dark gift as part of DC’s Year of the Villain and…

…has infected Supergirl with nanobots.

However, a commotion snaps her out of Brainiac’s control as seen in Batman / Superman #4 (full spoilers here).

We see then that in saving her cousin Superman, Supergirl gets infected instead…

…which overpowers the nanobots and…

…turns her into the latest and last member of the Batman Who Laugh’s Secret Six!

Supergirl takes a detour and kills Brainiac and…

…abandons Krypto her trusty canine.

The Pulse:

A bit of a redundant issue if you read Batman / Superman #4, but the framing sequences with Brainiac do add to tragic downward spiral of an infected Supergirl. An emotional issue with solid art. 8 out of 10.
