There is a really great 2 part interview with Jamal Igle over on www.ustownhall.com.
I highly recommend listening to both parts but you should know that each port is just under half an hour long period so brew a cup and settle in. Here are the Links:

The first part revolves mostly around Igle's early career and artistic influences.
A lot of his favorite artists also fall on my list of favorite artists. In particular, I am a huge fan of Steve Rude and Brian Bolland.
The second part of the interview is almost exclusively about Supergirl and the Superman families. It really touches on a lot of topics and is actually quite meaty.
He talks about coming on to the title, first working with Sterling Gates, rehabilitating the character, and touching on the bike short controversy again.
But then he also drops a lot of hints about the upcoming year. Those hints include:
1) the origin of Lana's illness being found in Kurt Busiek's run on Superman
2) the importance of Nightwing and Flamebird to the overall story of War of the Supermen
3) Kara's interaction with Brainiac 5 in the upcoming crossover. Querl might recognize Supergirl from her prior incarnation?? Ooohh ... juicy!
4) Supergirl crossing over in R.E.B.E.L.S. again (most likely in the Brainiac crossover again).
So lots of tidbits to mull over. It feels like 2010 will be a strong Superman and Supergirl year.

Kara needs to smack down B2 just to even the score for the sneak attack she got from Validus.
Oh and I haven't forgot her shameful treatment in Amazon Attacks, I favor a swift sure punch in the snoot for Hypolyta, preferably with her two daughters watching close by.
Oh and then some payback on Reactron and Lucy Lane and those mean kids from High School and and and...
:D
Its a long list and an aging fan-man can dream can't he?

"...But then he also drops a lot of hints about the upcoming year. Those hints include:

Can't wait to get that..Wait, is the KB one Superman:Birthright or somthing?
"...2) the importance of Nightwing and Flamebird to the overall story of War of the Supermen"
Can't wait to see what he comes up with on this issue.
"...3) Kara's interaction with Brainiac 5 in the upcoming crossover. Querl might recognize Supergirl from her prior incarnation?? Ooohh ... juicy!"
Definetly the one I'M looking foward to seeing.
:D
"...4) Supergirl crossing over in R.E.B.E.L.S. again (most likely in the Brainiac crossover again)."
I hope she has a backstory to this one instead of "I love him and want to be in his era- Like in that JLU episode "Far from home".
"...So lots of tidbits to mull over. It feels like 2010 will be a strong Superman and Supergirl year."
I agree!
Hey,Anj. Just wondering-as I usually do- Is the first few issues of PAD's Supergirl collected in a trade? because I chcked DC's site and it said that it was out of print. Any way I could get it somehow?

@ ealperin: It's always worth checking ebay for the PAD trades. the last arc of 6 issues (with 2 supergirls) was also collected, and is a damn fine read.
May I aks who Querl is and how he's relevant to Kara?
Could the Insect Queen be joining Supergirl's rogue's gallery?

Same here. I think the characters are so linked that I look forward to a new take on it!

I agree that EBay is always a good place to start.
If not there, then going to some of the bigger internet comic shops (like Mile High) might also have one stocked.

Querl is Brainiac 5's first name
You can find a copy of the first PAD Supergirl trade at a decent price here:

AH HA! This along with Legion of 3 Worlds omission from Superman about Superboy-Prime helping him in the original Crisis mega event cements that our so called 'New-Earth/E-0' Superman is the actual Pre-COIE E-1 version! :D
