The Return of Anya "Huntress" and Stella "Power Girl"

The world just can't seem to get enough of Anya "Huntress" and Stella "Power Girl." You'll recall they entered the Diamond Comics Costume Contest back in October 2012.

Huntress had won a costume contest locally, and Power Girl won the Diamond contest. After that, we just had to throw them a party!

And that was that!

Sacramento Super-Powered Sisters Now Internet Famous

But it wasn't. The internets -- including The Mary Sue, Gail Simone, and Watch TV with Me -- found them.

And that was that!

But not anymore. Boing Boing covered artist Alex Law's rendition of the girls and their costumes that he posted on his Tumblr blog. It appears to have made its way to CinemaBlend.com, and from there, to The Huffington Post, and finally to the known world!
