A Newsweek Best Graphic Novel of the Year! New York Times bestselling and Caldecott Honor-winning writer Mariko Tamaki ( This One Summer , Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me ) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Joëlle Jones ( Lady Killer , Catwoman ) combine forces for a coming-of-age tale of Supergirl, presented with new color in an all-new format. Kara Danvers is super-strong. She can fly. She crash-landed on Earth in a rocket ship. But winning the next track meet, celebrating her sixteenth birthday, and surviving her latest mega-zit are her top concerns. And with the help of her best friends and her kinda-infuriating-but-totally-loving adoptive parents, she just might be able to put her troubling dreams--shattered glimpses of another world--behind her. That is, until an earthquake shatters her small town of Midvale...and uncovers secrets about her past she thought would always stay buried. The time has come for her to choose: Will she find a way to save her town and be super, or will she crash and burn? Collects the limited series Supergirl: Being Super #1-4.
