Do you want to laugh?Do you want to read about a confident lady?Do you like squirrels?If you answered yes to any of these questions, Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is for you. This comic is the most fun I've ever had while reading comics. It's cleve...

I have never, EVER loved any comic as much as I head-over-heels ADORED The Unbeatable Squirrel, Volume 1! It was so hilarious and so AWESOME. I looooooooooove Doreen/Squirrel Girl and her main squirrel sidekick Tippy-Toe, I love her fabulous roommate Nancy (and Nancy's cat sidekick Mew), and OMG do I love the humor throughout, both in the fantastic, witty writing and in the equally fantastic & witty art. I laughed out loud again and again (often at the nearly-hidden footnotes, which I finally di...

Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/WARNING: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS 42,000 GIFS AND QUITE POSSIBLY THE ONLY DISSENTING OPINION ABOUT THIS SERIES THAT EXISTS.My reaction to The Unbearable Squirrel Girl™ Sam Quixote (Don’t let the 3 Star review fool you, Sam must have suffered a head injury when he rated the first issue and has now come to his senses) . . . . Keep y’all nasty Kool-Aid over there because there is NO WAY I’m jumping on this bandwagon. I knew things weren’t

Hmm... 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

Obviously for a much younger audience than me.

So this is part of the important wave of strong girl main character comics, and yay, it is another good one you can put on the shelf next to Willow Wilson's Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan. I like the new Ms. Marvel better than this one, but this one has energy and humor. initially the feel of that art (by Erika Henderson) is children's or tween comics, and at a glance it is sort of silly, and I will let you know how my 8-11 year olds think of it, [Harry, 11, interjects, "Yeah, I really liked it! I don'...

Squirrel Girl is the new bae

R-E-S-P-E-C-T!Any hero that can take down Deadpool, Wolverine, Thanos and Dr. Doom has earned that much.Tear ‘em up, ya cute lil’ squirrels, yo!!Squirrel Girl, aka Doreen Green, wants to move out of the Avengers headquarters attic and live a life as a normal person, so she, accompanied by Tippy, her squirrel sidekick, enroll at Empire University and……ends up “protecting” the college from the villainy that is Kraven.Her squirrel network alerts her to an incoming threat by Galactus and the race is...

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.

Well that was glorious.

"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."HIL-arious. Love all the sly humor and in-jokes and just...good-natured ribbing of super heroes and super villains in this graphic novel.

I am not sure what makes people so squirreliffically excited about this comic. It's for sure cute with some clever gimmicks and it makes sure you know how cute and quirky and slightly-left-of-clever it its. Maybe part of my luke-warm feeling toward the comic is my general dislike for any super-hero-type comics that let action stand in for or get in the way of storytelling. There is some okay storytelling in here, but it doesn't get much better than okay. All of this said, I appreciate that Squir...

There isn't one thing about this comic that isn't ridiculous. Did I say fabulous? I meant ridiculous. Especially the footnotes at the bottom of each page that just can't help calling attention to how ridiculous this all is. Like so:Or this:And there's some pretty spot-on personality coming out of this Doreen chick:But the best part is how unflappable she is:The Unflappable Squirrel Girl sounds waaaay better than The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, don't you think? Of course you do. Doreen's the plucky...

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

omg this was fun and super-cute! I'd never heard of Squirrel Girl before and throughout the book I kept going "you've gotta be kidding me" but it was awesome :) Also had no idea she'd been around so long! Thanks Papa Stan! And a big thanks to Ryan and Erica for this awesome comic. Seriously, Doreen and Tippy-Toe and Nancy and Mew are the BEST.Now time to find more Squirrel Girl, particularly involving Deadpool.

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

One of the wonderful things about Christmas is that it gives me an excuse to buy books I've wanted to read, so I can read them first then give them as gifts. I've heard wonderful things about Squirrel Girl, so I bought this for my 11-year-old son. He loves funny superheroes like Teen Titans Go. I think this is perfectly suited for his age, and I thought it was a hoot, too. I adore how Squirrel Girl is drawn--she's curvy and proud of it! She's also smart, and manages to beat the bad guys with her...

This was actually really fun!
