Squirrel Girl tackles dating, and things go hilariously wrong in multiple ways. This volume is even more fun than the previous time-travel with Dr. Doom (although reading the choose-your-own-adventure issue on a digital device is a little challenging, and it doesn't quite stand up to North's other choose-your-own-adventure issues/books [but he's set a high bar on them - See To Be or Not to Be]). Mole Man makes for an interesting match, and the final collected issue, against Nightmare, is a high-...
I laugh more when I'm reading Squirrel Girl than I do with any other comic, and volume 4 delivers the laughs in spades. Squirrel Girl fights Nightmare with computer science (which was quite educational in addition to being funny), and she teaches Mole Man the true meaning of love. There's also a choose-your-own-adventure issue that is a lot of fun. Be sure you read all versions of the story to get the most laughs out of it. North and Henderson deserve an award for their work!
There's a quote on the front cover of this volume from Vulture--whatever that is--that sums up the appeal of Squirrel Girl so much better than I ever could: “Delightfully inventive.” Curse you, Vulture, for taking the words right out of my … oh. I see what you did there …“Delight” is a descriptor that comes readily to mind. It's a pure pleasure to read Squirrel Girl. It brings the fun as few other titles can. Yes, it can be silly or even goofy at times, but that's a large part if its charm. It r...
Very fun as usual! I did get rather tired of Mole Man ngl.
This is the best TPB in the history of TPB's, or comics for that matter, and it's not cos I'M IN IT!!! (That's right, in Letters from Nuts at the end of issue 9, that's me like a year ago, with a SGesque hair cut! Just another Friendly Neighborhood Librarian doing my bit.....OK, so maybe that IS why I love it the best. Sue me.) But it's also just funny and I definitely appreciate SG's dating angst. Anyway. READ IT!
So... this wasn't as bad as the last volume. It was creatively donebutMy ship sank.That kind of made me really upset because the team played a big part in volume 2 and I LOVED that volume. I was hoping they would bring that back in this one, but that didn't happen.I really like Squirrel girl, I really do. But for some odd reason these last two volumes have been disappointing. I'm hoping that volume 5 improves and I'm also hoping my ship hasn't completely died.
I think this was my favorite volume of Squirrel Girl to date. The whole arc around dating and online dating was eminently relatable and the crafty shut-down of a "nice guy" with powers was fabulous. Kudos to Ryan, Erica, and team.
Fantastic. This collection is bookended by one-off issues, a choose your own adventure style comic and a dream explanation of basic computer science concepts. The meat of the collection is Mole Man's turn as Nice Guy, and it's really great, almost painfully on point.
I want to like this book so much more than I actually do. On paper, it sounds tailor made for me: stupid characters getting up to surreal hijinks with an unhealthy dose of punning! In practice, I find that only about a third of the jokes actually make me laugh and I have a huge problem getting past the artwork, which, I'm sorry, isn't my cup of tea at all.Still, this volume gets bonus points for making one issue a choose-your-own-adventure story. THAT was a stroke of genius.Also, they gave me a
Quirky, fun and enjoyable as ever. I enjoyed this volume. What other graphic novel/comic is going to have a whole issue devoted to computer programming and it's how she defeats the villain. Only Squirrel Girl is who. They even throw in a Choose your adventure at the beginning. I had never heard of mole man. That was an interesting sequence. This is light, airy, clever, funny and the best thing ever. They need to make a movie. Squirrel!
I'm a fan of Squirrel Girl! Great art! The stories are funny and it's always a treat to see how Squirrel Girl will win and do it nicely. Absolutely adorable!
This might be the best one yet. All the stars for the dating storyline alone.
Quite simply, Squirrel Girl continues to be one of the funniest comics I've ever read. Multiple laugh-out-loud bits in every issue? That's gold.Choose-your-own adventure with Doreen? Very innovative and amusing.Doreen goes on dates? Absolutely hilarious, the height of the whole comic, though the Stalker-Mole-Man plot that follows drags a little. (Despite that, it's totally woke on dating roles and gender expectations.)Doreen has some dreams? Hilarious, and touching at the end. And binary handsig...
A lot of people have said it, but I love how relatable Doreen is.Also, beating her own nightmares was fantastic. And Count Nefaria had me ROLLING.
Still my favorite marvel title! What a great team of creators. I was wary of seeing a new artist in the final issue for the dream sequences, but I'm glad Erica Henderson's still on top. Mole man is stupid but written so well. Also the choose-your-adventure was hilarious.
Corny? Check. Happy? Check. A healthy (or unhealthy) dose of computer science humor, basic instruction, and core principles? Check.Oh, and a super creepy date sequence. I'm sorry, but Mole Man should remain an incel.This will probably never be my favorite comic run ever, or even in the top half, but it does have its good points and optimism is NOT unwelcome right now. In fact, it's just plain wholesome.So that's what we've got here. Wholesome.
Quite possibly my favourite volume of this series yet. After a shaky volume 3 (mostly because that Doctor Doom story was too long), this one gets right back on its feet, eats nuts, and kicks butts.We open with a done-in-one Choose Your Own Adventure issue as Koi Boi and Squirrel Girl battle Swarm. In a year of innovative comic designs, this one stands out near the top. Not only is it great fun, but you can re-read it at least three times and get slightly different endings. Plus, Galactus.The bul...
The writing has gotten a little better and some of the jokes actually land, but it's still hard to get past that awful art. Jacob Chabot does come in on the last issue and show Erica Henderson how to properly draw faces that aren't constantly suffering from gas pains.I thought the Choose Your Own Adventure issue fell flat. The Mole Man arc was decent. I've also suffered from just showing someone some basic human decency and then they won't leave you alone syndrome as well. The last issue where S...
Squirrel Girl comics are always enjoyable and this was no exception. I liked how clever this volume was. The choose your own adventure comic was so much fun. Plus, Doreen’s foray into online dating was so relatable. I loved how the last comic gave us a (totally not boring) computer science lesson.Overall, this was another great volume.
5 FUCKING STARS!! Was this my favorite because it gave commentary on what it's like to be a woman on the dating scene? Short answer: yes. Long answer: FUCK YES. Was it my favorite because it said things like "you think just because you're nice to me, I owe you something?" and "you don't get points just because you're not a tool?" Was it my favorite because the notes at the bottom made LOL???YES. Was it my favorite because Squirrel Girl is queen? Yes, Yes, and...FUCK YES.
