Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade is an all age limited series about Supergirl as a junior high superheroine. It's bright, colourful with good art. The story is fun, with a sense of wonder and wacky adventure. The characters are very lovable. 

Our titular superheroine Supergirl crashes on Earth (and lands on Lex Luthor) after arguing with parents and meets her cousin Superman for first time. Superman sends her to a junior high school to pass as a human, where she makes friends with Lena Luthor, the younger sister of Lex Luthor. 

The story is safe for children readers, but it appeals beyond that. Supergirl has to face cultural difference, bullying and difficulties with adapting to a new environment, but she remains optimistic and brave. Lena believes that aliens and superheroes are evil thanks to Lex. She is a weird mad scientist, but she's also loyal and willing to change. The enemies and adventure they face include aliens, time travel and clones, and of course saving the world.
