Just a week ago, DC Comics announced that the complete Paperfilm-crew, responsible for the amazing success of Power Girl is rounding up at #12 and from then on a new team will step up the plate.
Paperfilm, which consists of Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray and Amanda Conner, responded that Conner was dedicated on the book for a year, but could not be on the book longer. Adding a new artist to the team after Conner left wasn't something Palmiotti or Gray wanted to consider. So, they decided it was best to bow out as well and let a completely new creative team take over!
The DCU Source blog made the announcement that the new team consists of writer Judd Winnick and artist Sam Basri and made more than one hint to Justice League Europe (of which Kara was also a member off), Justice League International and the new Winick-written Justice League: Generation Lost.
Or as Winick said himself:
“It is with GREAT fear and excitement that Sami and I leap into this gig. Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray, and Amanda Conner have bought an amazing, fresh, and inventive rebirth to this character. Our greatest challenge will be to remain faithful to what they’ve created and also take Power Girl to a new place. As far as the course that the story will take, I’ll be uncharacteristically forthcoming : The story is tied to JUSTICE LEAGUE: GENERATION LOST. Not CHAINED to it, but tied. Power Girl has a history with the JLI that will be explored. A lot.”
