Barnes & Noble Release Exclusive Edition of ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’, the Comic That Inspired the Upcoming Movie
DC Comics recently spotlighted the Barnes & Noble exclusive edition of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, the acclaimed graphic novel by writer Tom King, artist Bilquis Evely and colorist Matheus Lopes. The timing is perfect, because this is not just another Supergirl collection hitting shelves. It is the celebrated comic book story that serves as the source material and creative foundation for DC Studios’ upcoming Supergirl film starring Milly Alcock.
DC has made the connection between the comic and the movie clear in its official coverage. The company described Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow as Tom King, Bilquis Evely and Matheus Lopes’ character-defining sci-fi fantasy epic and the story that inspired DC Studios’ upcoming Supergirl film. That official confirmation gives this release added weight, especially as DC continues building its larger “Summer of Supergirl” push around Kara’s growing presence across comics, collectibles, merchandise and film.
Originally published as an eight-issue limited series, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow reintroduced readers to a version of Kara Zor-El who is far more than Superman’s cousin. The story follows Kara as she crosses the stars with Ruthye, a young alien girl seeking vengeance after the murder of her father. What begins as a cosmic revenge quest becomes something deeper, more painful and more powerful: a meditation on grief, trauma, justice, restraint and mercy. That is why this book has become such a defining Supergirl story. Tom King gives Kara a voice shaped by loss and survival, while Bilquis Evely and Matheus Lopes create a universe that feels beautiful, strange, dangerous and emotionally overwhelming. The result is a Supergirl story that is sweeping enough for the big screen but intimate enough to remind readers why Kara’s heart matters just as much as her power.
The Barnes & Noble exclusive edition highlighted by DC features a striking orange-and-gold presentation that immediately stands out. The artwork captures the dreamlike, cosmic energy of the story, presenting Kara almost like a mythic figure surrounded by stars, motion, fire and destiny. It is the kind of cover that feels tailor-made for collectors, especially at a moment when more casual fans are discovering that this graphic novel is essential reading before the movie arrives.
Barnes & Noble currently lists Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (B&N Exclusive Edition) at $19.99, giving readers and collectors a timely way to secure this special edition. The listing notes that this B&N Exclusive Edition features an exclusive cover and an exclusive introduction by original writer Tom King reflecting on the story and its adaptation into the 2026 Supergirl film. It is available to purchase right now form the Barnes & Noble website.
