But I would want to make sure that they could cope with the idea of being separated from their parents, possibly permanently, and understand that it's only a story. That strikes me as a particularly potent fear for younger ones. If you read it with her, I think it would probably be fine.

I like the costume too (the tights are a good addition, considering she's a flying superheroine in a short skirt), but my favorite Supergirl look by far is in Busiek and Immonen's "Superman: Secret Identity."

I'm looking forward to seeing how the story and characters develop. I also like the fact that Supergirl is wearing a nice modest outfit befitting her age. Johanna,
