DC Comics Announces ‘Summer Of Supergirl Special’ #1

DC’s Summer of Supergirl has a new title to add to its ever-growing roster of comic books timed to coincide with the release of the Supergirl movie this June. Summer of Supergirl Special #1 is a 48-page one-shot anthology landing this June in comic book stores everywhere.

The one-shot is written by Sophie Campbell, Mark Waid, and Gail Simone, with art by Belén Ortega, Cian Tormey, and Emma Kubert, and variant covers by Tula Lotay, Pablo Villalobos, plus a Supergirl movie variant cover by Mahmud Asrar.

“In the lead story by Sophie Campbell and Belén Ortega, the quiet town of Midvale is shaken when Supergirl comes face-to-face with the galactic bounty hunter Lobo. Can the Maiden of Might stand up to the Main Man? DC’s Summer of Supergirl Special also features two bonus stories — one by Mark Waid and Cian Tormey, and another by Gail Simone and Emma Kubert — each celebrating Supergirl as she resumes her rightful place as the Heir to El.“

The Summer of Supergirl event also includes the new DC Elseworlds series Supergirl: Survive, announced yesterday, a facsimile edition of Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes #23 and Lobo #1, the oversized artbook DC W.I.P.: Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #1, and Supergirl-themed variant covers across DC’s line.
