Rated T
The latest crazy Squirrel Girl caper comes to a close with the usual style, humor and creativity, but something about this issue felt just a touch lifeless. Not sure why. Maybe it's just me. Read Full Review
Squirrel Girl never fails to crack me up, and this issue was no exception.
Melissa Morbeck's designed-to-fail plan fails with some minor nudging from Doreen and friends. The finale of a story arc that should have been all about fighting animals minimizes the amount of animal-fighting shown in-panel (less than 3 pages total), replacing it with yet more bickering. Melissa announces her intention to frame Squirrel Girl for all her villainy (and her goal was what again?) to provide an arbitrary and easily-foiled plan for the heroes to work against. There is a fair bit of humor to enliven the proceedings, and the fascinating grossness of nair-ing Tippy Toe, but overall this arc has overstayed its welcome by quite a bit.
