I'm the author of the webcomic Dinosaur Comics (that's the comic where the pictures don't change but the words do, it's better than it sounds and I've also done crazy things like turn Shakespeare into a choose-your-own-path adventure, write a comic for Marvel about a girl with all the powers of a squirrel, or mess up walking my dog so badly it made the news.
I'm working on more stuff as we speak, hopefully it's good

Shallow Comics On Top for a Change buddy read!
Criteria: D-lister as the title character.
Ok, I picked Squirrel Girl, because prior to this, I'd never even heard of her before.
Ever. Ever, ever, ever.
And after reading this, I never want to hear about her again.
Ever. Ever, ever, ever.
This just didn't do much for me. I'm not saying I hated it, but it certainly didn't make me want to read more about this chick.
She's overly squirrelish, for one thing.
Squirrelish in an annoying way that makes you want to slap the back of her head when she walks past you. Just...pop her one for being so stupidly oblivious to everyone else's non-squirrelishness.
I know that makes no sense!
I get that she supposed to have squirrel-like personality traits, but...
sigh
Ok. I guess I'll have to fess up to being a squirrelist. I hate 'em.
They're useless, annoying, chittering, rodents that fool everyone with their fluffy tails. If it was legal for me to discharge a firearm in my neighborhood?
Blam! Murdered You!
Relax, hippie. No animals were harmed during the making of this review.
The plot goes a little something like this:
Doreen has been secretly holed up in the Avengers Mansion (like a squirrel), but decided to move out and go to college. Ta-da!
How will she blend in!?
Take off her fake ears.
What will she do with her enormous tail!?
Stuff it in her pants.
Where will Tippy-Tappy (or whateverthefuck its name is) live!?
In a tree.Whoops! No, in her dorm room.
Can she defeat Kraven the Hunter!?
Not on her best day. Unbelievably, yes!
Anyway. There were a couple of cute moments, but not enough to tempt me to come back. However, if you're a fan of silly comics (and I don't mean that in a derogatory way!), then this might appeal to you more than it did me.
PS - Fuck that ugly art.

Few spoilers in this review so deal with it - or don’t! Nuts to you, nuts for everyone!
Doreen Green is THE UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL! She’s got a tail, the teeth, she loves eating nuts and sitting in trees, she’s part squirrel, part human - and she’s going to college! With her squirrel sidekick Tippy-Toe, she fights crime, and, in this first issue, Kraven the Hunter! But cosmic disaster looms in Squirrel Girl’s future - GALACTUS(!?!) is on the way!
First of all, I love that Marvel are putting out a comic called The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. I’m sure I’m not the only one waiting for Marvel NOW! Black Panther, Doctor Strange, and a host of others and Marvel instead gave us Squirrel Girl. It’s a surprising choice and I respect that (and I’m sure we can expect those other titles the closer we get to their movies!).
I also know nothing whatsoever about Squirrel Girl. If you told me she was a brand new character or one from the very beginning from back when Marvel was still called Timely Comics, I’d believe you. But I love the idea of the character and the series sounds like a blast so I was sold when this was announced months ago.
Which is why I’m a bit disappointed that I didn’t end up raving about this one. It’s not a bad comic but it’s also not as amazing as I’d hoped.
I like that it’s a very upbeat comic about a cheerful main character. Doreen loves being Squirrel Girl and that’s refreshing - we don’t need another miserable origin story with a tortured superhero who grimly sets their jaw when they face their evil nemesis, blah blah blah. She’s a good person, a little naive (which makes her all the more loveable), but capable with a strong sense of right and wrong - a fine role model for kids.
And this first issue opens with a musical number too, with Squirrel Girl singing her own superhero song to the classic Spider-Man theme!
Then I noticed something that annoyed me: creator’s commentary. This is something I’ve seen in some indie titles over the years where the creators do a comics version of a commentary track, writing an ironic line or two at the bottom of each page. I hate it. I’ve hated every comic that sort of thing’s appeared in and, irritatingly, it appears in this issue.
It’s also a warning sign that the creators think they’re hilarious and, yup, pretty soon Ryan North’s script was rubbing me the wrong way with it’s “I’m so smart and funny, look at my COMEDY!” tone. I’ve only read one other North book, The Midas Flesh (which I haaaated), but I can already see that he uses this trying too hard to be witty-style in his comics and it’s not funny. Not even a bit. He doesn’t strike me as a writer with much range and he’s not that adept at the kind of writing he does produce - “humour”.
Also, North’s story isn’t very complex or even that interesting - she goes to college! And...? There’s not a whole lot to Doreen’s character or world, she’s just there. I’m not saying we needed an origin story and it’s cool that we’re getting right into it, but I don’t really know what she’s about besides beating up baddies and talking to her squirrel. Besides her appearance she seems very generic.
Then another thing annoyed me: Doreen tries to have a secret identity for no reason (she doesn’t even wear a mask!) and decides to hide her giant squirrel tail in some tight-fitting trousers. The effect? A slightly larger behind than she’d like (but still not Nicki Minaj-size). Did I mention she has a GIANT TAIL? There’s no way you can hide something that big and have practically no noticeable difference when you wear tight-fitting trousers - even baggy clothing wouldn’t work!
Squirrel Girl fights Kraven the Hunter for no reason except to show us that she can handle herself in a brawl and it gets resolved in a tedious conversation that resembles a back and forth between Marvel fanboys.
Ok, the good: I still like the character and the potential she has - this is only one issue after all. Tippy-Toe’s a great character with a strong personality - yes, he speaks, this is Marvel, all the animals talk! I even stopped once while reading to realise this was an actual comic from Marvel. Tippy-Toes?!
I liked Deadpool’s Guide to Super Villains trading cards that informs Squirrel Girl of her foes before she faces them and I like Maris Wicks’ art for them. Erica Henderson’s artwork is fine and serves the story well but it’s also not particularly exciting or dynamic - it’s just ok. And of course I liked the opening musical number. Also, just as I was finishing up the comic and wondering if I should bother continuing with this series, Galactus shows up!! Yeah I’m on board for that! I just hope Squirrel Girl doesn’t talk to him the entire time - not with North writing that conversation!
There’s plenty to like in The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #1, especially if Ryan North’s writing doesn’t bother you. It’s certainly not bad and it’s great that Marvel continue to cater to younger readers with their new releases as well as try out characters like Squirrel Girl as stars of their own titles. In the end it’s a so-so comic that I wanted to like more and unfortunately didn’t, but I don’t think I’m the target audience either and younger readers might get more out of it.

Hilarious!
Fantastic intro, who hasn't changed the words of Spidey's theme song to make it their own.
Sincerely excited for this series, not only is the story fun with smart dialogue but the tiny asides at the bottom of each page offering commentary on the story are fantastically entertaining.
Even the "Letters from Nuts" section at the end is funny!

So much fun. I laughed out loud, multiple times. And to make it even better, squirrel girl makes me happy on a moral level. While already a super hero, squirrel girl goes to college to study computer science so she can be the best version of herself she can be. And while she dives into fights, she quickly reminds herself that violence is not the answer and finds a hilarious and ethical way out that depends more on her understanding of humans than of squirrels. And lastly, a girl this strong should look it. And she does.
Side note to J - this comic book actually feels like it was written in 2015.

This is a light, fun comic with cartoony art. It's nice. The little sidenote thoughts at the bottoms of the pages are cute. If you like sillier comics, you might like this. I usually like fun comics/characters but, unfortunately, Squirrel Girl doesn't strike a chord with me. I doubt I'll pick up the later issues.
That said, I really appreciate that this confident, happy female protagonist has a more "everyday" body type and facial features. It breaks from the norm and gives young women especially a positive role model.

SQUIRREL GIRL IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER READ.
December 13, 2018
I really enjoy the art style and Doreen Green's sense of humor, and squirrels abundant!
Some dislikes:
- Footnotes at bottom of almost every page, in the smallest text possible. I stopped reading them after the fourth or fifth page.
- This comic definitely assumes I'm up to date on Marvel universe happenings. I'm not. I'm a fairly casual reader of comics, and I wish this issue had done like Ms. Marvel and "introduce" me to the character and give me a rundown of the latest action.

Eh. It was cute. Sort of in the vein of Noelle Stevenson's LUMBERJANES for me: cute, yes, and I'd recommend it to friends' middle-graders. But not quite enough there for me to follow the series. 2.5 stars for my enjoyment level, but a 3 for the skill that went into its creation.
April 2, 2017
I love that her solution to having a large, bushy tail while simultaneously seeking a secret identity is to tuck it in her pants and thus creating a "conspicuously large and conspicuously awesome butt." Bravo on a most entertaining 1st issue.
March 11, 2024
I think already having read both of Shannon Hale's SG novels and listened to Squirrel Girl's Unbeatable Radio Show sort of spoiled me for this comic run. Like, I know about Tomás, I know about Kraven, I know about Galactus, etc... but I do enjoy Doreen's energy.

Crossposted to The Bibliosanctum.
Doreen Green, better known to readers as Squirrel Girl, has decided that it’s time for her to stop living in the Avengers’ attic and forge her own identity in the world as a person and a superhero. This starts creating her own theme song, which she’s sure will catch on eventually, and enrolling in Empire State University where she’ll build on her awesome by amassing more knowledge. This also means learning to balance her crime fighting with her new life on the outside.
The readers are given a general overview to Squirrel Girl and her powers through the aforementioned introductory theme song performed by Squirrel Girl herself as she wrecks a group of muggers. This is great for old fans and new readers alike. It doesn’t require that readers be well-versed on her history and gives people who are reading about Squirrel Girl for the first time a quick foundation to build on without being overwhelming.
Initially, when I heard there was going to be a book about Doreen, I was excited and a little apprehensive. I was all in for a book featuring the little known, plucky heroine whose claim to fame is beating some of Marvel’s toughest heroes and villains. Apprehension stemmed from the fact that I was afraid that they might not capture the spirit of what was endearing about Doreen. I set my bar for this book low just in case it did turn out to be a disaster. However, it was far from that.
This turned out to be exactly the kind of book that I’d expect for Squirrel Girl. North’s writing is light, fast-paced, and largely tongue-in-cheek–perfect for a story of this nature. Henderson’s art punctuates the fun vibe by being cartoony, animated, and bright. Squirrel Girl is a “glass half full” kind of girl. This is shown well through her interactions with the world as both Doreen Green and Squirrel Girl. Everything is a learning experience for Doreen, and no matter how the situation may seem, Doreen looks at the it with the thinking that there’s something positive to be gained and learned from it.
As an added bonus, this is a comic I’d be very comfortable with my son and daughter, aged 9 and 5 respectively, reading. It has the kind of youthful appeal that younger readers will appreciate and relate to, but it doesn’t alienate its older readers. It’s not just the fun tone that makes me say that. This book is positive and bubbly, extolling the things that make people different. It doesn’t ridicule eccentricities, but instead has its characters own their quirks and not allow anyone to give them hell for it. It shows that, sometimes, there are different ways of viewing and solving problems that work for everyone if you only take time to asses the situation. It reinforces the idea that first solution might not always be the best solution more so than being the easiest. These are important lessons for kids.
If you’re one of those comic book readers who think all comics should be serious business, this is the last book you should pick up. You can’t help but smile while reading about Doreen’s antics. The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl never takes itself seriously, and it does so without insulting its readers. It celebrates quirkiness and asks its readers to join it in this celebration.

Squirrel Girl defeats bad guys by talking to them and figuring out how to solve their problems. Unless the bad guys are unreasonable, in which case she fights them. Also, she talks to squirrels. It's charming and fun.

As far as mainstream superhero comics go, I think "Unbeatable Squirrel Girl" is, hands-down, one of the best titles I've read in the last few months. (And I read [i]alot[/i] of comics!)
Much like the new Harley Quinn title for DC, this is a refreshing change for the company. It doesn't require an encyclopediac knowledge of the Marvel Universe, the tone is light and breezy, and the writing and art are top-notch.
And Squirrel-Girl herself is a refreshing, non-stereotypical female superhero, and is written and drawn as such.
HIGHLY recommneded for just about everyone. (And, as an aside, I would also recommend both the "ADventure Time" comic, and the "Mida Flesh" mini-series, both written by the same author.)

HOW WAS THIS GOOD?! It was ridiculous, with a ridiculous character who I spent a lot of time going, "WHY ARE YOU SO ANNOYING?!" and somehow I finished it and said, "Damnation, why didn't I buy the second one?" I'm not even sure what I enjoyed, but I can tell you I laughed. Not, "hee hee, cute," but actually had to stop because I was laughing so hard at one point. Oh, and do not miss the little print under each page, sometimes that was funnier than the story in front of you, but all told with Squirrel Girl's voice.
July 19, 2015
I read this cuz my buddy told me to.
I also got to read this because I have Marvel Unlimited for a month.
And I could read this because it was the only one available because it's over 6 months old.
This was hilarious! I can't wait to read more!
So not a serious comic.
If you like the Groot series then you'll love this!

We got this one at our comic book store this week for my 11-year-old. It's pretty cute. I love Squirrel Girl's personality and that she solved her problem using her college-bound brain. We plan on adding this one to our subscription list.
April 23, 2015
What a ridiculous and loveable superhero! I kept wanting to give this to my squirrel-obsessed two year old friend, but I think she might need to grow into it. No real Marvelverse knowledge required to enjoy this one. Just a love of quirky girls and squirrels.
April 26, 2015
Hehehe~ I don't usually read comic books, but Squirrel Girl's making me reconsider with all its deep life messages in casual talk and the epic army of squirrels <3
The only shame was how short it was ; v ; which I'm assuming is standard for most comic books but ; v ; I WANT MOREEEEEE

The illustrations aren't my favorite, but the footnotes are the best thing I've seen in a comic!! The way that other Marvel characters are included (and name-dropped) is HILARIOUS, and Doreen's confidence is great to see.
January 15, 2015
Don't love the art, but I don't hate it. If you've been reading North's Adventure Time comics, the voice is really similar, so I keep hearing AT characters in my head when I'm reading Squirrel Girl.

Okay, I'm still laughing. If it was possible for this to be more ridiculous, my mind is incapable of fathoming awesomeness on such scale.

At first, I wasn't a huge fan of the art and had put this aside for some time...then I came to my senses.

Who doesn't love Squirrel Girl, and if so, why?

This book was adorable and fun and spunky! The female protagonist is both tough and kind, and the writing is very witty. I love how she meets up with Iron Man. :)

I know, I know, it looks ridiculous, but I promise it is worth the read! It is so smart and funny and the art is adorable.

Can we talk about how much I adore her?
That she's my new favorite super hero?
That she should probably be my best friend?
Volume 2, get in my hands!
