The buzz online is incredible positive for Supergirl #34. Here are a few excerpts:

BlogCritics: Mel Odom says: Gates is part of the triumvirate that’s holding down the Kryptonian franchise in DC Comics that’s going to put the super back in superhero.

IGN: Let’s say it all together now just so we’re all sure we’re not dreaming: Supergirl finally might have found a place in the DCU.

Comic Book Resources: This book is perched on the edge of a new beginning, and I sincerely hope that the team is able to capitalize on the momentum it is certain to gain from being part of the impending “New Krypton” storyline. 4.5 out of 5 stars

Comics Bulletin: Sterling Gates has done a nice job with setting this series up for a potentially good future. If he can keep pace with Robinson and Johns, then there is no telling how good this book could become.

iFanboy: It gives you hope that this Supergirl might end up proving that yes, the world really does need a Supergirl, and that she is worthy of the title after all.

Bendis Board review group: Raydawggie says: Seeing Supergirl play off the various members of the cast makes it a lot more interesting than having her randomly guest-star in the Outsiders or visit a post-apocalyptic future. It’s mostly a character-building issue before all hell breaks loose with New Krypton, but I think that’s what’s needed. 9/10

Supergirl Comic Box Commentary: This issue is what ‘bold new direction’ issues should be … a recap of the character and a bunch of hooks to grab the readers and keep them coming back for more. A+

Nerdage: Igle and Gates seem to want to downplay the Britney Spears aspects of the character and instead examine more what’s going on in the character’s head than what’s up her skirt.
