Review:
I didn't read the trade book, I read the individual issues (#60-67). These were the last eight issues of the Supergirl series before the reboot. There was two sets of stories in the volume.
The first story (issues #60-64) "Good Looking Corpse" had Kara teaming up with Robin, Blue Beetle and Miss Martian to figure out who was targeting other young superheroes. The story also included Lois Lane trying to investigate another angle on the superheroes attacks and it's possible connection to Cadmus. I enjoyed reading this story because you got to see Kara working with other young heroes. It was nice seeing Lois and Kara interact. I especially love the scene when Lois was trying to give Kara a smart phone. That was funny.
The second story "This Is Not My Life" had Kara and Lois teaming up to investigate the disappearance of young geniuses and it's possible connection with Stanhope college. I like this story because it had Kara going undercover as a student and showing her interacting with kids her own age. She got the chance to fit in a little and meet a few new non superhero friends. Also, Lois is not to be forgotten in this story. While Kara was undercover, Lois put her investigative skills to work trying to find the possible connection to the college.
This was a nice ending for Supergirl. Again, I wish this Supergirl series had not have been rebooted. It was great.
