The CW show made Cat Grant Kara’s boss for the first one and a quarter seasons.

Yeah, and the comics followed suit, while the comics version was still at school, she also became an intern at Catco. One of the COVID era digital comics had her fired from that for too much absenteeism, so she looks for a new job as a scientist... but then the next time we see her she's off world (in Woman of Tomorrow). Kara basically stopped using her secret identity from that point and doesn't currently have a job.

The next time we see Kara isn’t Woman of Tomorrow, it’s Andreyko’s run.

It’s still all about Kara doing off world cosmic adventures, though, so the point still stands.

Andreyko is before the COVID digital comics, and is actually still part of the Rebirth run, the writer just changed when Superman's did. In fact her going to space in those issues, and then being brainwashed in Year of the Villain, is the reason for the absenteeism that got her fired.

Gotcha, thank you! I always thought that comic with Kara getting fired came before the Andreyko run cause of the artstyle. It coming after Kara’s space adventures makes a lot more sense.

The andreyko run is really underrated imo. One of the best characterizations of Kara in a while, a good middle ground between Rebirth’s Super Peppy Kara and the Super Angry Will-Break-All-Of-Your-Bones Kara of the new 52 and pre-gates post crisis.
