Supergirl in comics

Coming in May, DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 “Second Wave” will literally expand the world-building efforts of the comprehensive publishing initiative. With the addition of a parallel Earth that features prominently into both EARTH 2 and WORLDS’ FINEST, the developing narrative will encompass new heroes from distinctly different backgrounds, building on the shared universe in some surprising ways.

“Superman’s cousin loves her adopted world with a passion, seeing how the people of Earth have adopted her and taken her to their hearts,” said EARTH 2 writer James Robinson. “She is the definitely brightest light among this first group of Earth 2 heroes.”

“Meet the Earth 2 Supergirl, aka Karen Starr,” said WORLDS’ FINEST editor Wil Moss. “As readers of MISTER TERRIFIC already know, Karen has been busy since she arrived on the main DCU Earth, creating a successful company and dating the brilliant Michael Holt. But what are her true motives behind those actions? How did she get here? And what incident prompts her to take up her new identity of Power Girl? Find out in WORLDS’ FINEST #1!”

Here’s a first look at the Supergirl of Earth 2, designed by Kevin Maguire.

COMICS: Power Girl’s New Costume Gets Tweaked Yet Again
George Perez has drawn a new version of Power Girl's New 52 Costume. Is it any better? Does it have a boob window? Find out after the jump.
AUSSYACE - 3/30/2012

In early February, DC Comics released a new look for Power Girl, which was met with open arms and enthusiastic accolades by everyone in the comic book community. We jest, as the comments on the original article reveal pretty much everyone hated it, even though the costume did have a fan or two.
Now, George Perez has posted on his Facebook page some artwork for a World’s Finest design that he did for Pittsburgh Comicon t-shirts. The artwork shows Power Girl in a brand new version of her new costume.



In the comments on his Facebook page, George Perez notes that the new look for Power Girl is not his design, but he did do some tweaking to it. Apparently, this new design of the new costume looks like it will replace the design that appeared on the World’s Finest #1 cover, as Perez posted, “Unfortunately DC didn’t make a final decision on the costume until after the solicitation art (the cover for the first issue) had to be sent to the printers.”

So far, the new version of the new Power Girl costume is being greeted with mostly positive feedback on Perez’s Facebook page. Most seem to think it is an improvement over the look that appeared on the World’s Finest #1 cover.

World’s Finest is a new ongoing series, which will feature Power Girl and Huntress of Earth 2. It will written by Paul Levitz with art by George Perez and Kevin Maguire. World’s Finest #1 is scheduled to arrive in comic book stores on May 2, 2012.
