Supergirl Off to Save the Day

This is book #6 of 6 in the Supergirl graphic novel series. I have read book #2, but not books 3, 4, or 5. My background knowledge from book #2 was helpful, but I needed to have read the previous books in this series to completely understand the twists and turns in the plot.

GRADUATION DAY, Part 2 tops the pictorial list of characters before the story line begins, but I do not understand this title’s significance.

Superman and Supergirl are in the clutches of Lex Luther’s Lexsoar 7 when Comet ( a horse in a cape) smashes the machine freeing them. Back on Earth, Supergirl finds a frozen Belinda. Then Lena arrives ready to take revenge on Supergirl,only to have them both bound up by MXYZPTLK from the 5th Dimension. MXYZPTLK takes credit for all that has happened to Supergirl, so he could collect all her emotions… “to be amplified and processed through a machine built to replicate your Kryptonian biology and my 5th-Dimensional awesomeness…” ( p. 12) A few pages later, MXYZPTLK escapes from Supergirl and returns to the 5th dimension. The 5th dimension inhabitants “banished [him] to the 2nd dimension. Forever.” (p.21) for breaking the rules.  Back in the 3rd dimension, Lex has helped his sister, Lena, recover from the effects of MXYZPTLK’s capture but Lena has lost the memory of Lex as her loving brother.

The artwork ‘s facial expressions, use of size and color, and the scenes from space are outstanding!

There are 5 Visual Questions and Prompts included at the end of the book.
