That's not even the worst of it. A recurring story in the early years was for Supergirl to deny herself happiness (mostly in the form of adoption, but ocassionally in other ways) to protect Superman's identity. Most prominent moment of Super-Dickery for me was in Action Comics 265 when she briefly lost her memories and revealed herself in Smallville, getting loving parents and the adoration of the population... only for Superman to realize that was going on and immediately wipe out everyone's memories and return Supergirl to the orphanage.
Has King said if Kara’s getting a new romance interest in this run? I only ask because a lot of his books to tend to deal with romance.

I still ship Kara and Ryand'r but we're never going to see that again.

Well, people who are tired of Kara being a teenager will be happy she's 21 now (if this sticks as canon).
It's not that I don't get it or hate it per se but King opening up with Supergirl getting drunk on her 21st birthday is...something. Kind of reminds me of that first issue of Burnside Batgirl where Babs woke up from a hangover, pantsless, and stumbled into the guy she drunkenly made out with the night before.
Drunk Kara alone on her birthday (except for Krypto) in a bar under a Red Sun, saying she's now 21 so it's ok and that's the truth, the justice and the American Way, and also there's a couple panels that seriously look to me like a reference to that time Hank Pym slapped Janet Van Dyne, all while Krypto looks on with the patience of a saint...
Yep, definitely a Tom King comic. Also more convinced now that DC is planning on making Kara "Superwoman".
Yeah I’m pretty sure she’s going to be Superwoman by the end of this. I’m all for it, none of the other Superwomen have really stuck in the role, hopefully Kara does. Also holy **** they really are aging everyone up aren’t they? Huge turn around from the last couple of years to be sure.

Why should she have to? Superwoman not being a successful name doesn't really justify giving it to Kara over just keeping her in her most known and popular identity (that her TV show is literally named after).
I guess it's so they can throw in a new, probably diverse, Supergirl legacy since they're really into that again lately.
