A+++This is so funny and clever and great, definitely works as a stand-alone if (FOR SOME REASON) you haven't read any Squirrel Girl yet. Also like a kiiind of deep investigation of problems of late-stage capitalism and the concept of superheroism in general?Also I hardly ever comment on art when I review comics, because I am a monster, but I will pause to admire Erica Henderson for her art! Love the variety of body types on display and also Tony Stark's goofy face. Also I think Ryan North under...
You know what Squirrel Girl doesn't do much of in her main series? Beat people up. Her whole thing is that she can compromise and talk it out with pretty much everyone. So when she finds herself fighting a warped clone Squirrel Girl who has all of her powers and none of her inhibitions, Squirrel Girl must watch the entire Marvel Universe fall!This is great. If you're reading the main Squirrel Girl book, this is just like reading a three or four issue arc of that book, but all in one go, and with...
Who knew that Squirrel Girl was powerful enough to take down the entire Marvel universe? With some outside-the-box thinking and the knowledge of a second year computer science student, it is possible! This story is hilarious. It's fun to see the references to other famous Marvel (and some DC) stories. Also, the ending has a lot of heart.
The art alone is hideous.....then the clone too ugh.
This is probably the best Squirrel Girl so far! So clever! Observation A: artisanal cupcake depositories would make great secret bases.Observation B: these were great ways to beat all the good guys and bad guys, and Observation C: compromise = good. ; )
I've read several Squirrel Girl graphic novels and she is probably one of my favorite Marvel characters. That being said, this one kind of missed the mark for me. Basically while helping Tony Stark with a new invention, Squirrel Girl clones herself. Now there are two Doreens, one going by her middle name, Aileen. After seeing a squirrel hit by a car, Aileen determines humans have made the earth a terrible place to live (can't argue with her there) and mounts a takeover by herself and tons of clo...
Squirrel Girl is the best.
This is the greatest comic book that I have ever read. I'm pretty sure it's the greatest comic book of all time, and also that it's the reason why superheroes were invented. I cried a lot at the end, and I laughed uncontrollably the rest of the time. This gave me all the feels.
Squirrel Girl's the best! And Squirrel Girl * 2 is more so. SG1 and SG2 prove that nobody can hope to beat squirrel power. SG2 takes on the Marvel roster and cleans their clocks! SG1, with her respect for others, and willingness to talk to solve problems, and help from Tippy Toe, must fight her doppelgänger to protect the world.Lots of fun, with some moving moments, too.
This standalone was so much fun! I felt like the series faltered a little bit (wasn't a big fan of the Choose your own adventure story - great in concept but hard to follow in terms of panels) but this standalone definitely revived my love for Squirrel Girl!
Despite the title, Squirrel Girl has never been a character built around solving problems with hyper violence. She talked Galactus out of eating Earth by offering him a healthier alternative. She convinced Kraven to back off by offering him a hunt more challenging. She, in general, will only get violent when an opposing force can not be reasoned with (this series is the reason that, canonically, Squirrel Girl has beaten up the entirety of the Avengers for being dismissive).And based on this book...
I like SG. She's fun and goofy and is a really good role model. It's also nice to see the Marvel Universe not taken so seriously all the time.
This was a pleasant surprise, for it came out of low expectations to be an entertaining graphic novel.This reader initially thought that this was collection of the monthly Squirrel Girl comic books but this is an all new novel-length story. I thought that having not read any of the issues except for the first would be a deterrent to enjoying this story, well, it almost was but the book itself, through flashback and dialogue, gave hints that allowed this reader to catch up at least enough to the
God Bless All Ages Comics.I needed some good silliness and I got it and I am pleased. Also I am sad that we didn't see Tippy-Toe-Thor in costume.
I love North's Squirrel Girl and this graphic novel was a delight. An interesting roster of characters mixed with an engaging plot, all with excellent humour and a dash of fun facts. What else could you want from a reading session on a Sunday afternoon :)
This was suitably epic. It's basically a bigger, badder issue of Squirrel Girl, which is not a bad thing. Ryan and Erica bring the quality funny as always. Life is swell! As the title implies, there's a certain amount of beating up of various Marvel characters that goes on in this book. Since it's right on the back cover, I don't think it's saying too much to reveal that most of those beatings are courtesy of an evil duplicate (why are good duplicates not a thing … although, technically, the ori...
Squirrel Girl is a comic I should like and she is a character I like. But to me the jokes fall flat and the art is atrocious. Each time I pick up one of her comics, it's an absolute slog to get through. Erica Henderson has to be the worst artist working on monthly comics today. Every character appears angry and constipated at best with a hare-lipped, slack-jawed yokel look. Here Squirrel Girl gets cloned and has to fight her evil self. Meh.
THEY STOLE MY IDEA!!!
This is a cute book! I think, if I were quite a bit younger, I would've enjoyed it even more. The thing about Squirrel Girl comics is that they remind me of Parks and Rec's "Li'l Sebastian" gag. It's a running joke that you have to suspend disbelief and stop questioning why anything happens/works out for them. A college sophmore with squirrel like abilities shouldn't be able to lay herself across train tracks to stop a train from derailing or take down the entire Marvel Universe, but the books a...
Doreen Green, as a character, will always have my undying love, but I gotta say, the plot in TUSG has been pretty thin for a while now, to the point where I probably wasn't going to rush to continue. This OGN got me back on board, though. Beating up super villains (and heroes) is all well and good, but I need to dig into a little bit of the protag's personal life to really get a lot out of it. I felt the Doreen/Allene scenario helped in that department (and was thankful it didn't devolve into th...
