Power Girl needs to work on hiding her identity.
Story: The story starts off with a little scene from Randall Mikavic's past as a child and his roaring arms success in the present. Now Power Girl is currently getting pulverized by him in his cyborg form. Power Girl calls Nick and asks for help and poses as Kara. She wants any bit of info on Mikavic as possible and being that Nick is an expert in nano technology he is the right man for the job. We find out that Nick went to jail for identity theft. Kara says that she is friends with Power Girl and that she is going to help her. Nick says he needs physical evidence so Power Girl brigns the big sphere where the bio weapon came from. As Power Girl waits for results she tries to fight him off. Nick calls back with info that C.R.A.S.H. which is what Mikavic is now, the bio weapon, is a bomb but doesn't blow up it just deactivates. He is there for 4 hours but Power Girl has him down for one more hour. So Power Girl just has to survive for one hour and he deactivates. The hour is up and Power Girl wins. But then all of a sudden a man shows up with a great big sphere of kryptonite that weakens Power Girl. He reveals that he is Max and takes Mikavic with him. At the end Nick figures out that Kara is Power Girl.
Writing: I really liked the writing in this issue. I love how Winick brings Maxwell Lord into this story but doesn't overwhelm it.
Characters: I love PG's character. I love her personality at work and as Power Girl.
Dialogue: Power Girl's dialogue is so funny and whitty. I love it.
Art: Bold and great.
Cover: The cover was cool and I really liked the bold out lines of the characters.
Penciling: Basri is amazing. I loved Amanda Conner's work but this art work is amazing.
Coloring: I wanna say that it is vivid and it brings life to the fight scenes.
My favorite scene!
It was definitely at the end when Max Lord showed up and took Mikavic away. That really shows that Judd Winick is a great writer and can connect two different stories without taking away from the other.
