Gentlebarbs, I'm intrigued by some of the stuff I've read about Supreme Power by that Stazinizinsky bloke. Has this been collected into jumbo trade format yet?

Yeah.

In particular, you might be interested in the second volume, in which the new Princess Power ( or whatever is that they're calling her these days, ) makes her debut.

FFS Alex I only made that Valkyrie joke twice.

I got the first volume based on the online hype, and found it frankly pretty tedious. Just another reasonably well-written grim'n'gritty "update" of silver age DC comics. What if superheroes--specifically a set of JLA analogues--existed in, like, the real world? Whooo, orginal. Once I got that that was what I was reading (again), I found myself skimming. It's competent stuff--ok dialogue, decent art, etc. Still, same old same old. Next?

But there's NUDITY. And... um... MORE NUDITY!

I actually like it. But I loved Squadron Supreme. I just hope to see more revamped characters from the old version soon before I lose interest. Yes, it is slow-paced.
