While Kara is away on a training mission in Metropolis, Lena Luthor is left to babysit the Super-Pets in Midvale. What could possibly go wrong? It turns out a lot, as the pets quickly go missing, leaving Lena to wrangle the super-powered critters on her own. Written by Sophie Campbell, taking a break from art duties on this issue, Supergirl #5 brings in artists Rosi Kampe and Paulina Ganucheau for a fun-filled adventure.
This issue is a hilarious departure from the main storyline. Campbell shifts the focus entirely to the Super-Pets, offering a lighthearted look into the minds of a dog, rabbit, cat, and gorilla. You’ll get a healthy dose of humor as the pets’ personalities clash, particularly between Kara’s dog, Krypto, and Lesla’s super-bunny, Kandy. Even with a few confusing plot points, the issue’s charm never stops, and the shocking cliffhanger at the end will leave you scratching your head but intrigued for what comes next.
While this may feel like a filler issue, it’s a fun one. It’s a low-stakes, silly story that’s perfect for all readers. The art by Kampe and Ganucheau is a highlight, capturing the unique moods of each animal. From the unbothered attitude of a super-powered cat to the playful demeanor of a gorilla, the art brings each character to life. The colors are also stunning, complementing the art style and adding to the overall sense of adventure. Last but certainly not least, Princess Shark’s outfit looks great, with her jellyfish-looking skirt and her shark-toothed blade!
Supergirl #5 is a delightful detour that showcases the fun and chaotic world of the Super-Pets. While it might feel like a kid’s book at times and some moments can feel a bit jarring, it’s a light read that offers a lot of laughs and a whole lot of heart.
