It Can't Be! Not You! - Supergirl

Look who is making her DCU Post-Crisis On Infinite Earths appearance.
This Supergirl is full of surprises.

She looks like Lana Lang.
 Calls this man Lex Luthor.
And comes from a world that has almost been completely destroyed by Kryptonians, under the direction of General Zod.
Zod is mostly know for "Kneel before..." in Superman II and being a constant prisoner of the Phantom Zone.

On this Earth he is ruthlessly murdering everyone in his path.
No one is spared.
Sometimes the ultimate punishment is required in dealing with ultimate evil.
Superman - Judge, Jury,
 How the once mighty grovel.
There is a glimmer of hope after all the death and destruction.
Sure, she isn't Kara Zor-El but I enjoyed who this Supergirl became.

In my opinion, Post-Crisis DCU was a really great time to be reading comics. Experiencing the characters all over again, connecting with them. The current 52 DCU is lacking that connection.
