But from Ruthye saying “I learned it” to this panel, I fully sobbed reading it. I’m still figuring out how I feel about the actual ending of this issue. After her speech, Ruthye is able to take the sword from Kara, but Kara ends the interaction repeating Ruthye’s lament from Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #3. She points out that, as much as she wanted to, Kara’s lessons were what made her fail to kill Krem when she had the chance. Horrified by this change in Kara, Ruthye argues that she did learn what Kara tried to teach her. Since it is clear to Kara that none of her attempts to show Ruthye the good of the universe succeeded in swaying Ruthye away from her desire to see Krem dead, Kara might as well give up hope and follow through on Ruthye’s desire for violence. Angry and exhausted, Kara picks up Ruthye’s blade and threatens to kill Krem herself. Kara returns from her massive space battle, carrying Comet’s body, to Ruthye, trying and failing to make herself kill Krem. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #8 written by Tom King drawn by Bilquis Evely
