Notes/trivia

• Supergirl now wears a costume more identical to Superman's with the logo in the center, instead of at the top, left corner.
• The issue leaves the possibility of another Supergirl story with her birth parents being trapped in some parallel dimension that they somehow survived in, although this will never be continued for Scooby-Doo! Team-Up readers, as the series cancelled after its 50th issue.
• Despite this being rated E, bullets are shot at the gang.
