Karen Starr has triumphantly returned to Metropolis. But there’s a problem…theperson using that alias isn’t Power Girl! Paige can’t just stand by as this new Karengets involved in ventures and schemes she would never dream of. It’s up to her toexpose this imposter before they ruin her reputation for good!
Overall, this was a fun series with so many different plot threads and competing tones going, but given that Peej has the most tangled character backstory since Donna Troy, I think it did a good job of creating a strong narrative. Read Full Review
Having to quickly resolve the imposter Karen Starr plot makes it feel like an after thought in what is otherwise a decent enough finale under the circumstances. Naturally, I would have liked at least 5 more issues, but hopefully Power Girl will continue to make regular appearances within the Superman family of comics. Read Full Review
Power Girl #20 ends this run with a whimper instead of a bang. Williams had the opportunity to makes sense of things by returning PG to her Karen Starr identity and personality, but instead opted to double down on all her bad ideas. Read Full Review
It is a sudden and rather jarring end for the series that admittedly falls a bit flat in where it leaves its characters. Though it boasted interesting ideas, 'Power Girl' never reached its potential. Read Full Review
Power Girl is an incredible character and I've loved her since All-Star Comics #63.
I loved her in Showcase. I loved her in Infinity Inc. I loved her in Crisis, Warlord, Justice League Europe, Justice Society, Infinite Crisis, JSA Classified, and of course Power Girl v1 & v2.
And then there's v3 by Leah Williams and... it was truly horrible.
The covers were great, but "Paige" was a complete mistake (and that it was cancelled is testament to that).
Horrible title with Atrocious writing. Don’t ever let Leah Williams writer anything involving Power Girl again DC! Good riddance.
