Supergirl Season 6 Poster

 

With the pandemic impacting comic book conventions everywhere, DC Comics announced  DC FANDOME , an on-line convention-like experience.  For 24 hours, there will be announcements, interviews, and general fun.

Part of the experience is interaction with cast members from the CW DC shows. This has included the creation of 'posters' for the characters which also lean into their comic book histories.

While Melissa Benoist is not one of the announced guests, Supergirl did get her own poster.

As usual, Benoist is simply perfect as Supergirl, ready to fight against injustice.

 

The overall color of the poster background is yellow. Of course, the supers always sport the primary colors. And this is dazzling, having Supergirl really stand out. It also blends nicely with the other posters I have seen of Dreamer and Iris West.

The background is also interesting from a comic point of view ...

The main image is pulled from Action Comics #700.

That's Superman trying to save Lois and Jimmy from a falling Daily Planet globe. Interesting that Jimmy is seen on the poster. This is not the Jimmy from the show.

 

As for the rest of the images, they are pulled from the Marc Andreyko run, around issue #28 when Kara was teaming with the Omega Men.

Interesting that Ryand'r has such a big picture on the poster unless that is a hint about some upcoming plot. 

It also is interesting that the Supergirl images show her scratched and bruised. Perhaps it is to show how far she'll go in her battle against evil? It mirrors the determined look on Benoist as well. I liked Eddie Pansica's work on the book, so no complaints.

So what do you think of the poster?
