Last year was the unofficial Summer of Superman, when the Man of Steel returned in James Gunn’s big-screen hit. So it’s only fair that 2026 give us the “Summer of Supergirl,” when Milly Alcock’s Kara Zor-El headlines her first solo movie in four decades. As a way of celebrating the Maid of Might’s return to cinemas, DC Comics has announced a new hardcover anthology spotlighting Kara through stories by writers and artists from 15 different countries. Titled Supergirl: The World, this new anthology book arrives worldwide on June 2, 2026. It invites readers to experience the iconic heroine through the lens of several cultures that span the globe.

Supergirl: The World is similar to international DC anthologies Batman: The World and Joker: The World. The stories contained in this new collection bring the Last Daughter of Krypton to Germany, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina. Other countries include Cameroon, France, Poland, Turkey, Finland, Colombia, Serbia, Japan, and the United States. According to DC Comics, “Each region contributes an original story that reflects its own voice, artistic style, and cultural perspective, creating a global mosaic of what Supergirl represents to fans everywhere.” This is the perfect way to reacquaint yourself with the character right before her movie releases in theaters, also in June.
And here’s the official synopsis for Supergirl: The World from DC Comics:
Supergirl, the last daughter of Krypton, has found her adoptive world daunting at times, struggling to find her place in it. So what better way to learn about her new home than to travel the globe and discover its many wonders—and save some lives in the process, of course! Behold the Maiden of Might as 15 countries tell tales that highlight what makes Supergirl one of the most inspiring and powerful DC Super Heroes of all. Each chapter offers a standalone story rooted in the country that created it, from street-level heroics to sweeping, mythic adventures. Together, they form a portrait of Supergirl that is both universal and deeply personal.
