Supergirl Vol. 1: Last Daughter of Krypton

I was just getting used to the old DC Universe continuity of Post-Crisis & then DC decided to reboot everything again for a new generation with Flashpoint.  I imagine there was a similar resentment towards the company back in the 80s when Crisis on Infinite Earths happened.  However I was just starting to like the Superman family of titles near the tail end of that continuity The whole World of New Krypton, Last Stand of New Krypton & War of the Supermen is one of my favorite Superman trilogy stories of the few that I have read.  I loved the torn characterization of Supergirl in that event because she had most recently come back from the dead a few years before & was still adjusting to being back in the world.  She was a blend of heroic awkward naivety which was a breath of fresh air.  Along comes the New 52 & wipes all that away or so I thought, this new Supergirl is just as awkward as the old one.  Really its the same character just tweaked a little she has a new costume but at her core she is still coming to terms with her situation.  If your a Supergirl fan or a Superman fan give this a shot I'm still on the fence about the costume change but I like the direction the title is heading.
