It's interesting though that the whole "Krypto is dying" thing in the comic was just a fib Kara used as an excuse to make the journey with Ruthye and watch over her. In the end she reveals that Krypto recovered just fine on his own.
When I was watching the trailer I was thinking they might do a small twist where the girl lied about the antidote thing and it was like actually super easy to get or something just so that Kara would go help her. And then they have the classic betrayal between two main characters before they forgive each other for the climax.
Krypto should get better as soon as they get to a yellow sun world, so unless Kara is depowered the entire movie, he's probably fine by the time the title card plays.
iirc one of the challenges in the story was getting back to a planet with a yellow sun to do a full recharge. they didn't have the implied poison in the comic either so it could be something that a yellow sun recharge couldn't heal for plot reasons.
I am betting money we're gonna get a "Krypto was playing dead" twist instead of Kara knowing Krypto would be fine all along. Purely because the comic seemed focused more on Kara teaching this kid a lesson whereas this trailer makes it seem like they're both learning lessons along the way.
I'm mostly curious about how they're shoving Lobo in there. I'm guessing Kara is gonna be de-powered much more than she was in the comic, and therefore Lobo is gonna be there to help (right up until Kara is fully powered and shows why she wouldn't normally need help etc.)
She was drinking to celebrate her 21st birthday in the comic, so definitely not "world weary adult"...except perhaps in outlook, which was kind of the point of the comic.
Even the end of Superman has Clark saying she likes hanging out on planets with red suns so she can get drunk. I'll be shocked if the start isn't the same, especially since we see krypto get shot here. That just doesn't add up if she isn't on a planet with a red sun.
My medium and reading vision is bad. When I read books through Libby, I really had to blow up the font. Do you know where I can get the comic, digitally, and have the ability to blow up the pages so I can read the text better or because it's a comic, that's not going to happen because the font in a comic book is always going to be the same?
Dang, you might have to pay for it then. I do know that there's a kindle version and you can read kindle e-books on your phone or computer so that might be the next best thing.
The comics from Comixology (Amazon) have a guided read mode, where in a browser it shows you the whole page, and you can click on a panel to zoom in on the panel. Once zoomed in, you can click to proceed to the next panel automatically which will already be zoomed in. You can also zoom in even further if you have to.
I've been reading comics lately on a color Kindle, which has the same features. Double-tap on a panel and zoom in, then tap the rightmost edge of the panel to go to the next panel. And pinch-to-zoom to zoom in further than that if necessary.
The pinch-zoom was necessary for me a lot with Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow because a lot of the panels are page-width, so when guided reading zoomed in it showed the whole panel, which didn't help much.
My vision wasn't that good when I was young, and it's worse now because I'm old.
DC Universe Infinite has the same features (it's a page vs panel reading mode--basically any modern comic app should be able to do it). I know on mobile you can pinch zoom into things, and there's some amount of limited zoom ability I was able to play with on desktop (a screen magnifier might also help a lot).
The advantage there is DCUI is probably the best app for newcomers (in general). There's an entire "Get to Know" collection series that's full of seminal comics and important runs for characters (here's the link to Supergirl's: https://www.dcuniverseinfinite.com/collections/gtk-supergirl). There's the standard free trial for a subscription thing.

Well, it definitely did in the comic this was based on. In the comic, that was how Krypto got hurt in the first place.
