About this Collection

Collecting issues #7-11 of the 2016 Supergirl series, this volume follows Kara Zoran as she navigates life on Earth while dealing with the fallout from her recent battles. The story arc 'Breaking the Chain' sees Supergirl confronting a new threat tied to her Kryptonian heritage, as writer Steve Orlando and artists including Brian Ching explore her struggle to balance heroism with personal connections.

In "Fish Out of Water," Supergirl and Grace go undercover on a high-seas raid that spirals into a bizarre captivity aboard a ship run by super-powered pirates. When Kara encounters a wounded, mermaid-like being begging for death, a haunting memory from Krypton resurfaces—her mother’s final request—testing her resolve in ways she never expected. The issue’s emotional weight is matched by its sharp, grounded storytelling, with Joe Kelly’s writing and Joe Benitez’s dynamic art bringing a grounded intensity to the surreal situation, while Alé Garza and Richard Friend deliver a striking cover that captures the story’s eerie tone.
