Supergirl Vol. 3: Reign of the Superboys - Hero of Kandor

Caught between a rebellion and a crumbling government, Supergirl must decide what kind of hero Kandor truly needs.

The acclaimed Supergirl series from writer and artist Sophie Campbell continues as Kara Zor-El returns to Krypton’s last surviving city at its darkest hour.

Kandor is on the brink of collapse. A shocking revelation has ignited conflict between the city’s ruling Science Council and a new generation of Kandorians demanding change. As tensions escalate into open rebellion, Supergirl finds herself caught in the middle of a struggle that threatens the future of Krypton’s last survivors.

But peace may no longer be an option. After a devastating encounter with the powerful rebel leader Black Flame leaves Kara powerless, the battle for Kandor spirals toward all-out war. As the Science Council deploys the powerful Team Thunder to crush the rebellion, Supergirl must navigate a widening conflict without the abilities she has always relied on. With unexpected allies arriving, dangerous new powers emerging, and the fate of both Kandor and Earth hanging in the balance, Kara must find a new way to protect the people who need her most.
