ARC from Netgalley.
This Volume covers multiple ways that Supergirl's reputation is being destroyed.

1) Continuing attacks from Cat Grant and Catco.
- It turns out that when Cat shot Kara at the end of the last Volume, it was the sorceress Selena glamouring herself to look like Cat.
- Catco's news app provides users the ability to submit news stories, so with all the additional confusion, and mistrust against Supergirl, her popularity drops.
- The Catco App also is used by Selena, who is controlling Cat at that time, to show the security footage of Kara promising to help her father (Cyborg Superman) heal. The people really turn on her for this, as he was responsible for a lot of death and destruction.

2) The Fatal Five
- Emerald Empress, Selena, Solomon Grundy, Magog, and Indigo
- The Emerald Empress is a villain from the future who's family got killed in a battle that she had with Supergirl. Swearing vengeance, she gathers up the other 4 to help take Supergirl down:
- Selena to abuse the power of the media to turn people against her
- Grundy to cause mass destruction, requiring Supergirl to overuse her enhanced powers,
causing even more damage
- Magog to act as an enforcer to assist the others
- Indigo to use her emotionless android programming to save others from Supergirl, making her
appear to be the real hero, having to stop Kara's rampaging
- Causing so much chaos throughout the Volume, they are stopped eventually, but the damage is done. Emerald Empress gets sent back to her time, Selena escapes, Grundy gets destroyed by Supergirl, Indigo is obliterated by Cyborg Superman, and Magog is sent off-world with the androids remains. The Director of the DEO has to step down and is replaced by Bones. "Oz" sneaks in a uses Red Plasma to destroy Cyborg Superman.

In order to try to gain control over her increased powers, she goes to see Kenan Kong, the New Super-Man and his mentor I-Ching, who attempt to teach her about controlling her Qi. I really love that they went in this direction. I think both Kara and Kenan could use the support of each other in their titles.

Overall, a good Volume. I'm hoping that Kara's increase is in preparation for something epic with her. Recommend.

Kara Danvers (aka Supergirl) has a very big problem. She has gotten infected with a superbug that is increasing her powers beyond her control. And the Emerald Empress has gathered together the Fatal Five to put an end to Supergirl due to a vision of her future actions. And even after The Emerald Empress and the Fatal Five are defeated, Supergirl still has the power surges to learn to control. Plenty of Supergirl action, intrigue, guest appearances of New Superman and Superman plus world travel. And another new menace is revealed!

I do not like that first page. I was like, oh no, fighting between Cat and Supergirl, not good. But, of course, then I got to the second page, and for about three quarters of the TPB I was like, 'phew, they're good'.

Someone is supercharging Supergirl, and generally trying to make her not trusted and the bad guy in National City. And it seems like it's very easy for them to do as well. So, she's trying to save people, not hurt them because of her out of control, and then bigger than ever powers, and at the same time get back their trust.

My favorite part of the book was when she went to see Super-Man and he introduced her to someone who could help her get control of her powers possibly by knowing her Qi. It was a very cool story. Of course, then the book went back to the real world and it was like, bummer... but still. She has an interesting story, and so far they're not just parroting the TV series, which is nice.

I received this book via Netgalley thanks to DC Entertainment.
