Power Girl #5

Amanda Conner's cover for this 2009 issue lays out the conflict in bold, color-blocked panels: a masked woman in an orange jumpsuit levels a pistol, a green-skinned alien woman trains a energy weapon with cool menace, and Power Girl herself stands confident in her white costume and red belt — clearly ready for whatever these adversaries are bringing. With Palmiotti and Gray delivering a story titled "Space Girls Gone Wild!," the setup promises a fun, action-charged mix of earthbound and extraterrestrial trouble. It's a great-looking issue from a creative team clearly enjoying every panel.
