Okay, so Power Girl’s in her “daughter of Arion from Atlantis” phase here, but she’s still Kryptonian, after all.

Judd Winick’s so-so run on POWER GIRL ended with the previous issue, leaving Matthew Sturges to step in for the final two, this and the next one.

With the New 52 looming, however, the series was cancelled and it would be a while before we saw Kara again . . . but we’ll get to that next year at this rate.
