This is the graphic novel off which the film is based! New episode next week! Original Airdate: November 12, 2025 --------------- Grab your capes, grab your tissues, and get ready to fly into another epic Nerd Book Club adventure! This week, Analese and Rob dive deep into Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, the beautifully bold and heart-wrenchingly heroic comic that has taken the nerd world by storm. We’re talking space cowboys, moral quandaries, epic quests, and a Supergirl story that punches you right in the feels — in the best nerdy way possible. Plus, the Nerds ask the real questions, like: how often should heroes get therapy? Could we survive intergalactic travel without snacks? And what exactly counts as a space horse? Saddle up, nerd herd — we’re going cosmic. Analese is tired of the same ol' tropes and Rob is loving the space western awesomeness. Also, Dr. Intern Joan is back!  As always, we want to hear from YOU! Did you read along? What did you think of Supergirl’s story? Who do you want to see in the next Nerd Book Club pick?
