[Stanlos]

So it sounds like Powergirl just got herself in a new comedy miniseries by Mark Russell called One-Star Squadron

Fireball AND Peege? Sold! Take muh moe nay

Reality warper. Power source is one of the Infinity Stones now - originally she actually siphoned off Carol's powers.

Carol's always had things in common with Kara. She even shares Supergirl's human surname, Danvers. Carol also had her Kree name revealed to be Car-Ell, which of course sounds pretty similar to Kara Zor-El.

Yeah the Kree in general often get used like Kryptonians... except they have an intergalactic empire numbering in the billions or trillions...

Nice to her being here, a comedic tone with her doesn't really bother me, but I am wondering where the JSA relaunch is.

[Ascended]

One Star Squadron? The hell is this? First I'm hearing of it. Don't even recognize half of these people.

Russel writing Karen? That should be pretty damn good, even if it is "just" a comedy title. I mean, how can you *not* be interested in this after reading the tagline?

Nice to see PG getting some attention, especially with a writer as skilled as Russel, he's one of the industry's most underrated talents.

[SJNeal]

Yep, indeed seems to PG is now comedy material.

This was my knee jerk reaction at first...

She was since the JL International book

Then I remembered my intro to PG was JLE and all was well again.

Yep, indeed seems to PG is now comedy material.

This sounds suspiciously like "I Can't Believe It's Not The Justice League". And since when does PG a working stiff? She was probably along the lines of a billionaire last time we checked in on her in her own series over a decade ago. September 21st, eh? Well, I shall check it out. The Heckler? Interesting choice, wonder how he'll interact with PG?

This is where I'm at. I like Russell a lot and I think it's clear I love PG. Got high hopes for this one. I'm a little worried she's in a comedy book again, but we'll see how this turns out.

She's been out of the universe for a long time, if not retconned out entirely. There's a good chance she's just broke again.

Could be. I'm just glad she's in anything that isn't some dumb crisis thing or other. I do hope that her next gig isn't a comedy book though.

Yeah look at what happened to Wally now that he’s Flash again in the current ongoing, there was a gap in his resume period that effected his work. Same could happen to Karen.

Yep! While I am looking forward to this mini, they've been teasing the return of the JSA for quite a while now and hope that's still a thing on the horizon...

Yeah, I don't want all her outings to be comedic. I think she's a character that works best with a good balance of humor and drama.

Yeah look at what happened to Wally now that he’s Flash again in the current ongoing, there was a gap in his resume period that effected his work. Same could happen to Karen.

Yeah, if she's even got the company following Rebirth at all. They have a lot of avenues to pursue right now and the best course of action would be not to get too married to any previous status quo.



For example, if she and Harley never interact again, it'll be too soon!

Even more PG in December by the looks of it. Cover for Justice League Annual. Look at the top left corner!
