Power Girl gets her own title as the popular JSA heroine adjusts to her new life on Earth.Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotto provide the words, Amanda Conner the pictures and Adam Hughes the gorgeous cover for DC Comics’ newest title.
Power Girl’s first solo adventure starts with the invasion of Manhattan by a swarm of mechanical men dropping from the sky. The massive, multi-eye mechanisms emit emotion controlling waves that sends the crowd into a panic.
Power Girl appears just as things are about to get worse and quickly dispatches with most of the monstrosities, then she is bathed in a fear ray and transported to a hovering ship controlled by the Ultra-Humanite.
It seems he wants her body for his brain and he’s holding Manhattan hostage unless she agrees to the transfer.
In a parallel story readers get a glimpse of Power Girl’s private life as the head of Starrware Labs, that is looking for solutions to Earth’s growing ecological and environmental problems. She is in the process of selecting new staff members. Most are good, hard-working people, except for one candidate-a Mr. Bevlin who seems more interested in power than humanitarian pursuits.
After a heated discussion and subsequent dismissal by Power-Girl, Bevlin leaves in huff vowing revenge for his casual dismissal. Future villain perhaps?
Power Girl is a colorful romp with some good old super heroics thrown in, some personal turmoil and insights and a whole lot of fun.
