Squirrel Girl lets her supporting cast carry the crime-fighting duties for a few days. Brain Drain, Koi Boi, and Chipmunk Hunk do a commendable job - eventually. This one-shot issue is navigating a few different tightropes. For a start, there's the question of whether or not the supporting cast can hold our interest without Doreen.
