Supergirl #17

February 27, 2007: Joe Kelly Talks “Supergirl”

ComicBookResources.com has published a lengthy interview with write Joe Kelly, in which he touches on his work on "Supergirl" and what plans he has for her coming up. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    Q: Did you like how she was introduced in "Superman/Batman" and Jeph's original arc on the book?

    JK: Yeah. It was really cool! I love that she is not squeaky clean and therefore is a much more interesting character to me than if someone else had brought her back. Her first arc on "Supergirl" had a lot of cool stuff, with her being sent to kill the baby is the spine of what I want to do with the series.

    Q: Tease us with some upcoming stuff!

    JK: We are going to find out the truth about Kara's relationship with her father and why she has to kill Superman. Her relationship is going to come to an interesting head soon.

    I just love her so much as a character. The plan for Kara's first year is to put her on her own and have her think she can succeed with everything and every single thing she tries she fails at. She's headstrong and conflicted and as a result fails at things.

    I love that! It seems very real to me. I love her smacking into brick walls of her own making. A lot of that is going to play out as we come to the next arc with her father.
