Power Girl Special #1
Power Girl takes center stage in Power Girl Special #1 by Leah Williams and artist Marguerite Sauvage. With new powers and a new mission, Power Girl faces a challenge unlike any she’s experienced before in this shocking one-shot rising from the events of Lazarus Planet and Action Comics!
Power Girl Special #1 also features a 10-page backup story about Fire and Ice, written by Joanne Starer and illustrated by artist Natacha Bustos and colorist Tamra Bonvillain. In the introductory tale, Fire and Ice respond to a natural disaster in Baltimore, debating whether to involve Ice’s old flame Guy Gardner. When Guy causes some major drama at the scene, Superman gets involved to stop the fight.
Power Girl Special #1 will be available on May 30 with several variant covers to choose from.
Power Girl series
Power Girl’s story will continue in her standalone series Power Girl by Williams and artist Eduardo Pansica. After the events of “Knight Terrors,” a long dormant Kryptonian threat has returned to take down Superman and his family. According to Superman, Power Girl is the only one who can stop it. This road trip race against time will see Paige reconnecting with her roots and striving to save her newfound family. Power Girl #1 hits shelves on September 5.
Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville #1
In Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville #1, Superman sends the former Justice Leaguers packing to Smallville to lie low following their disastrous mission in Baltimore. Ice finds herself drawn to the quiet life and dreams of planting roots. But Fire will do anything to get back on the Superhero circuit—including challenging the DC Universe’s biggest villains to a knock-down, drag-out, live-streamed brawl in the streets of Smallville! The series is crafted by writer Starer, artist Bustos, colorist Bonvillain, and letterer Maher. Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville #1 hits shelves on September 5.
