Power Girl: New Beginnings and Old Friends Omnibus

Return to Power Girl's greatest era in this definitive omnibus collecting the iconic collaboration of Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner (Harley Quinn)!

Power Girl leaves her old life—and old Earth—behind to reinvent herself in New York City, but trouble continues to follow Kara Zor-L (a.k.a. Karen Starr) like a bad penny! Besides battling archenemies like the Ultra-Humanite, Satanna, and the shadowy Max Lord, the Kryptonian heroine also contends with bankruptcies, hostile takeovers, and other corporate skulduggery in this uniquely entertaining chapter of her tumultuous career.

Crafted by fan-favorite creators Justin Gray, Jimmy Palmiotti, Amanda Conner, Judd Winick, Geoff Johns, Sami Basri, Hendry Prasetya, and Matthew Sturges, this comprehensive omnibus edition collects all of Power Girl’s adventures from the pages of JSA: Classified #1-4, Supergirl #12, Terra #1-4, Power Girl #1-27, and Wonder Woman #600, and includes new essays and sketches from Palmiotti, Conner, and Winick!

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
