Not Just a Pretty Face! The Adventures of Supergirl 2 Review

After stopping a hold-up at her favorite newsstand, Supergirl races to work at Catco Worldwide Media, where a National City Police SWAT team is arresting Winn Schott as a terrorist! He's accused of bombing Leesburg, VA!

Kara and Jimmy Olsen start digging into Winn's computer. In addition to domestic terrorism, Winn is accused of "Doxxing", dumping personal information openly on the internet. The duo come across the real culprit - VRIL; Virtual Remote Integration Logistics. otherwise known as Vril Dox!

Supergirl races to rescue Winn. He leads her to a super-hacker, who manages to correct most of the damage Vril has done. However, Kara has left Jimmy vulnerable. Together, they have to rescue Jimmy and disconnect Vril!

"The Strange Case of the Smiling Computer" shows Kara's super-smarts along with invulnerability and super-strength. Kudos to Sterling Gates.

Cat Staggs provides another awesome Melissa Benoist cover. Jonboy Meyers handles the art on Chapter Four, with Pop Mahan on Chapter Five, "Attack Edge", with colorist John Rauch and letterer Saida Temofonte. Although the series ties into the live action CBS Supergirl series, the comic art bears no likeness resemblance. Which is somewhat odd. Maybe an oversight, or a conscious choice. Who knows.

Vril Dox poses a major threat here, a definite challenge to The Lady of Steel.

Adventures of Supergirl 2 earns three stars.
