Supergirl #23

August 13, 2007: New Supergirl Creative Team Announced

DC Comics has announced a new creative team to take over the "Supergirl" comic book title. Writer Kelley Puckett and artist Drew Johnson will begin their run on "Supergirl" beginning with issue #23. Newsarama.com caught up with Kelley Puckett to ask him about his up-coming run on "Supergirl". Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    Q: Have you read past incarnations of Supergirl? Are you influenced by them? Do you think the current Kara resembles or should resemble any of those?

    KP: Well, I read those old school Supergirl stories when I was growing up, so I'm very much influenced by them. What I took away from them was that Supergirl was a character about Hope and Possibility, and that's something I intend to bring to my run on the book.

    Q: How would you describe Kara as a character? What's unique about her, her powers, and her personality?

    KP: What's unique about Supergirl is that she's not unique. She's Superman. She's a Superman in a world that already has a Superman, and that's a problem for her (and me).

    The big question for the character, and one that I think every story so far has been implicitly asking, is what exactly is she supposed to do? Where does she fit in? I have a very specific answer to that question, and it's one that's going to make her even more unique in the DCU.
