Power Girl’s new ongoing series from DC Comics is set to explore the powerful Kryptonian’s story in all-new ways. The Kara Zor-L of Earth-2 has long been a fan-favorite hero who has played key parts in the adventures of the Justice Society of America, the Justice League, and the All-Star Squadron. In a new comic from Leah Williams, Eduardo Pansica, Julie Ferreira, Romulo Fajardo Jr., and Becca Carey, Power Girl is getting an explosive new storyline that sees the hero adopt a new secret identity while her powers continue evolving.
Readers saw Power Girl during the Lazarus Planet event, where she adopted the new secret identity of Paige (a nod to her superhero initials of PG). While the Lazarus rains briefly gave her psychic powers, Power Girl’s new series will continue to show off her new ability of astral punching, as much like Marvel’s America Chavez, Paige can now create interdimensional doorways with her fists. But, as she tries to figure out what her old and new powers are capable of and adjusts to finding a new normal, Power Girl will have to deal with a new threat trying to stop her and Superman. No problem, right? Wrong.
