I will never look at squirrels the same way again.

Man, this was incredibly entertaining. I was hoping it would be good, but I shamefully thought it wouldn’t blow me away because, I mean, look at it. IT LOOKS COMPLETELY NUTS.

And I guess it is. The way Squirrel Girl fights villains is so different from any other hero or heroine. I thought Ms. Marvel was one of a kind, but then I met this gal and, well, there’s always place for more badass women and originality in the comic world.

Here's the thing: I have always liked the character of Squirrel Girl. This may be partly because one of my friends hates the character so much that I over-emphasised my love for the character to annoy him and, over the years, my faux-love became real-love.

Despite my affection for the character, I have to say that I didn't think much of this book. I was incredibly excited when Marvel first announced they were doing a Squirrel Girl book but, having now read it, I can only say that it was a bit of a letdown.

Firstly, it SCREAMS 'Hey, other guys at Marvel, I've noticed that quirky webcomics are really popular at the moment! Let's do a book that's just like a quirky webcomic and cash in on that!'

Secondly, while I read quite a few webcomics, Ryan North's aren't among them. I tried his Dinosaur Comics strip but it just wasn't for me. Didn't hate it; I just didn't like it enough to add it to my RSS feed. Having read the first volume of this book, I can't say my feelings on his writing have changed.

Thirdly, I can't stand the artwork. In one of the letters pages (yes, I actually read this volume as single issues but I don't like to review single issues on Goodreads; that's too much like hard work) Erica Henderson actually says that she deliberately chose to do this book in a 'cartoony' style. Now, there's no doubt that the artwork in this book is cartoony... just not GOOD cartoony. In the last issue featured in this collection, she draws various 'flashbacks' in a few different styles, so she's clearly a talented and versatile artist. I just hope she continues to evolve her cartoony style on this title to the point where it's not quite so ugly.

P.S. I don't have a problem with the silliness. It's a Squirrel Girl book fer chrissakes! What were you expecting; the next Watchmen?

P.P.S. If my middle name began with P, this would be my initials.

P.P.P.S. I'm not sure why I chose to make that first P.S. a post script and not just part of the main review... but I can't stop now!

This is a very silly book. Which is exactly what I was hoping for. Squirrel Girl can be a lot of fun, and I really like her total earnestness. And also that she talks to squirrels. It's a totally irreverent (I bet nobody will ever write Galactus like this again) and weird book, and it's kind of perfect. The art is adorable and fits the title perfectly, and I love the silly footnotes at the bottom of each page. Incredibly fun to read.

"You know what happens to a squirrel when it gets mad? The same thing that happens to everything else.

Which is to say, increased heart rate, elevated adrenaline and norepinephrine production, a lessened capacity for self-monitoring, etc., etc."

Comedy superhero comics have usually rested on the assumption that there is something rather silly about superheroes, and you can get a good laugh by laying bare what it is. It works, because these assumptions are true. But superheroes are also awesome, so there is a lot of room for a superhero comedy which takes THAT as its starting point.

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is that comic. As the title suggests, there is no confrontation Squirrel Girl cannot win, and the joy is in seeing her do it. Of Comedy superhero comics have usually rested on the assumption that there is something rather silly about superheroes, and you can get a good laugh by laying bare what it is.

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is that comic. As the title suggests, there is no confrontation Squirrel Girl cannot win, and the joy is in seeing her do it. Of course, these are the narrative conventions that underpin basically every Marvel or DC title: this one just lays them out upfront and gets on with having fun and treating the Marvel Universe like a playground full of hilarious toys. It's a perfect vehicle for Ryan North's joie de vivre and his typically stylised dialogue - Doreen Green's voice in the comic is a perfect blend of fourth-wall breaking and the real self-consciousness of a clever 18-year-old.

Some readers hate this - Squirrel Girl is a lightning rod for disgruntled fans who feel Marvel is becoming stupid or childish and pandering to a new audience of hipsters or - gasp! - girls. In fact it's one of the most grown-up comics Marvel has published for years. Doreen Green in this series is a superhero who mainly solves problems the way they are ideally solved in the real world - negotiation leading to a mutually acceptable compromise solution. Nothing juvenile about that, even if she does it with a squirrel sidekick and occasionally clad in living squirrel body armour. Erica Henderson's effervescent art is a great fit too, full of joy, energy, and a complete lack of regard for the narrow range of faces and bodies you normally see in a superhero comic.

Most of all, though, it's very funny, and as generous as it's entertaining. The weakest issue here - #5 - is the one which comes closest to outright parody, and that's no accident. The rest of the stories are a joy - big-hearted superhero romps by a team who understand that punching is the least interesting part of superheroics. The best comic Marvel's publishing right now. PS: Galactus is so right about Thanos. ...more

When Squirrel Girl was created by writer Will Murray and artist Steve Ditko for the Marvel Super-Heroes Winter Special in 1991, she seemed to be a contrast to the majority of female superheroes at that time who are not only born out of dramatic tales but also with perfect physicality to sexually appeal the male readers. When you read her debut issue “The Coming of ... Squirrel Girl”, which appears at the end of this first volume, she is clearly a fan girl who wants to partner with her favourite When Squirrel Girl was created by writer Will Murray and artist Steve Ditko for the Marvel Super-Heroes Winter Special in 1991, she seemed to be a contrast to the majority of female superheroes at that time who are not only born out of dramatic tales but also with perfect physicality to sexually appeal the male readers. When you read her debut issue “The Coming of ... Squirrel Girl”, which appears at the end of this first volume, she is clearly a fan girl who wants to partner with her favourite Avenger Iron Man whilst the two of them battle Doctor Doom. Following her time with both the Great Lakes Avengers and the New Avengers, Doreen Green is finally starring in her own series, which is one of the funniest in recent Marvel history.

As Squirrel Girl begins her life in college as she starts a course in Computer Science – much to the disapproval from her squirrel friend Tippy-Toe who insists on a course on the animal – her role as a superhero becomes more important when a hungry Galactus heads toward Earth, and apparently only she can save the world.

Right from the start, it is clearly a parody of superheroes that appeals to both young and old, as oppose to the X-rated sensibilities of Deadpool, though he is greatly acknowledged in the trading cards that Squirrel Girl collects with the Merc with a Mouth giving some jokey insight about the villains she is up against. In how this title breaks the fourth wall is at the bottom of nearly every page features a subscript footnote that although humorously acknowledges what’s happening on the page, it never explains who is the voice behind the footnotes; most likely Ryan North experimenting with his comic writing.

What makes North’s writing stood out is in the characterisation of its eponymous hero who may be quirky, but isn’t dumb as she is starting a course in computer science, even if her conversations with a squirrel makes it hard to socialise with her classmates. She is also has a very positive outlook on life and even when she battles villains, violence isn’t the only solution and the outcome is strangely sweet. I would’ve liked to have seen more of her adjusting to college life which is only shown through her friendship with her cat-loving roommate Nancy.

With her cutesy cartoonish art style, Erica Henderson is a perfect fit to the quirky writing, as well as showing a lighter presentation of established characters like Kraven the Hunter and Galactus. Also in the way Henderson illustrates Squirrel Girl, her physical appearance is not at all sexualised, whilst acknowledging her comfort with her “large and conspicuously awesome butt”.

Although the meta-comedic writing can at times run out of steam, this first volume of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is a very enjoyable read with its quirks and off-the-wall squirrel action. ...more

This book has been highly recommended by my friend Michael at the blog My Comic Relief who waxes poetic about this series. Combined with my need for a short book to review this week, due to a time crunch with the upcoming holidays and a big final project due in one of my grad classes, I gave it a go. The book was funny, quirky, girl-friendly, and well drawn…but a bit annoying.

We are introduced to Doreen, aka Squirrel Girl, who is moving into her college dorm and meeting her roommate Nancy (♥) for the first time. To hide her secret identity, Doreen tucks her tail into her pants, giving her a Kardashian look on her already voluptuous figure. Already, I like that she is realistically proportioned, and not some fanboy version of what a female should look like.

She gets pulled into battles with Kraven the Hunter, Whiplash, and later with the mighty Galactus in between attending classes. How does she fight these super villains, when her powers are not equal to theirs? She talks them to death. The back and forth banter between all the characters is clever, with additional social media inserts that are amusing, but at times overkill. In addition, there is running commentary at the bottom of many pages that I found distracting.

The artwork is bright and attractive, with a varied layout of panels that pull you into the story. The Deadpool cards were an awesome addition. I loved how they put the first time SG ever appeared in a Marvel comic, and her story with Iron Man, in this book. Flashback to the epic costumes and drawing styles of the late 80’s/early 90’s! While this is somewhat her origin story, I would like more info on how she acquired her powers.

I look forward to Michael’s longer and more in depth blog about Doreen. He will certainly make connections that I couldn’t muster during my initial read through. This short and sweet review (just like SG!) will have to do for now. So remember- you don’t need luck, just eat nuts! ...more
