by

Following the successful return of Superman to the big screen last year, 2026 is set to be the “Summer of Supergirl” with Milly Alcock starring in her first solo movie in forty years. To celebrate, DC Comics is releasing a new anthology book called Supergirl: The World on June 2, 2026. This hardcover collection features stories about Kara Zor-El from writers and artists representing 15 different countries, offering a global perspective on the iconic heroine. You can find a preview of the book below.






Like the previous DC collections Batman: The World and Joker: The World, Supergirl: The World features stories set in different countries. This new book takes Supergirl to locations including Germany, Italy, Brazil, and Japan, as well as several others like Cameroon, France, and the United States. DC Comics explains that each story is unique to its region, showcasing local artistic styles and cultural viewpoints. It’s a great way to rediscover Supergirl before her movie comes out in June.

And here’s the official synopsis for Supergirl: The World from DC Comics:

Supergirl, the last survivor from Krypton, hasn’t always found it easy adjusting to life on Earth. To truly understand her adopted world, she embarks on a journey around the globe, experiencing its wonders and helping those in need. This collection of stories, told through the lens of 15 different countries, showcases what makes Supergirl such a powerful and inspiring hero. Each story is unique to its country of origin, ranging from small-scale rescues to epic adventures, and together they paint a complete picture of Supergirl – both relatable and extraordinary.
