With the Supergirl movie being released in June, DC decided to make April 18th Supergirl Day this year. Incredible.
If you want to read all about it, here is a link to DC's blog: https://www.dc.com/blog/2026-02-12/look-out-supergirl-is-taking-over
I started this blog in 2008 because I felt Supergirl was being overlooked and horribly mishandled. I wanted to shine a spotlight on my favorite character. So if you told me then that DC would be celebrating Supergirl day in advance of a major movie, I would think you were crazy.
In addition to the Superman Day Special Edition, fans can also pick up two Superman Day–exclusive versions of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #1 at their local comic shop while supplies last: a foil‑enhanced Special Edition ($9.99 US) and a blank sketch cover ($4.99 US), ideal for signings, sketches, and collectors.I started this blog in 2008 because I felt Supergirl was being overlooked and horribly mishandled.

So I will be here to celebrate Supergirl Day and I hope you will to.
At the heart of Supergirl’s Superman Day offerings is the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #1 Superman Day 2026 Special Edition. This exclusive Superman Day sampler reprints the acclaimed first chapter of Tom King, Bilquis Evely, and Mat Lopes’s character-defining sci fi fantasy epic.
Obviously the movie is based on King's story so the celebration will revolve a lot around that book. I don't particularly like the book's portrayal of Kara but it is clear this is here to stay. Will I buy these issues? It will be torn for sure.
For Supergirl day, the will be releasing a special addition of the latest volume's first issue. I'll definitely grab that. There will be a facsimile version of Action Comics #252, Supergirl's first appearance.
But also a ton of trade re-releases:
Supergirl:Being Super, Silver Age Omnibus Vol 1, and the next volume of Peter David's series in DC Finest format (even if DC describes it as Kara adventures).
And then more coming!
Look for more Supergirl news to break as DC’s Summer of Supergirl heats up! DC’s publishing plans include the one-shot comic book Summer of Supergirl Special, the launch of the new DC Elseworlds comic book series Supergirl: Survive, facsimile editions for Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes #23 and Lobo #1, an artbook-sized DC W.I.P.: Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #1, Supergirl-themed variant covers publishing across DC’s line of comic books, and more ... From Comic to Screen: The Art of Supergirl: The Woman of Tomorrow is an in depth look at the creation of both the comic and the film it inspired.
So if you're a Supergirl fan, you better start saving up your pennies.
I am thrilled that DC feels Supergirl has become big enough to hype up this way even if it is built on a book I am not fond of.

Haven’t they just done an Action Comics #252 facsimile?
Anyway, yes, nice one Supergirl! What would be great would be a new Supergirl Annual, with a big fight against, say, Reactron, with Kara the undoubted star of the show.
