Although it is uncertain whether the date will be successful, cover hints at an interesting addition to Power Girl's arsenal: a large long axe.

Power Girl's Mysterious (and Possibly Backstabbing) Encounter Gives Her an Asgardian Ax

Paquette and Prianto's cover features the mystery of the ax and Power Girl's romance with Axel in an intriguing way.It depicts an Asgardian kneeling before Paige and presenting her with a large weapon. The suggestive pose is likely a deliberate choice by the artists. Note that Paige appears to have accepted the ax, as she is shown holding it after taking it from Axel when he offers it. This could indicate that their relationship is moving in a positive direction and that Paige has forgiven him for the disaster of their first date, or it could just be a red herring.

Coincidentally, it's interesting that Paige's potential love interest has a very similar name to the weapon she's given. This similarity raises questions about whether Axel's character is more important than we think. Until August 28th, this is all just speculation. However, if Paige were to adopt the longaxe and incorporate it into their heroics, it would set her apart significantly from the rest of the Super Family, who rarely rely on guns as their powers are their main strength. Given how fancy Paige's ax is, it will be interesting to see her power up or gain unique abilities.
