THE FORBIDDEN PLA-NUT Part 1
What happens when we take Squirrel Girl back to her roots? Well, we shoot her into space, OBVIOUSLY. Nancy and Tippy find themselves on an alien world where all is not what it seems. Squirrel Girl needs to find a way to get to the other side of the universe to save 'em, STAT. Intergalactic transport through the cosmic realm? This sounds like a job for the Sorcerer Supreme! I'm sure Doctor Strange will be happy to he - I'm sorry, what's that? Doctor Strange is gone and now LOKI is Earth's Sorcerer Supreme? Oh. Well, I'm sure he'll do his best. After all, what could possibly go wrong? Guess what, in this issue, more
Squirrel Girl is one of those books that can appeal to almost anyone and the supporting characters are interesting enough to carry stories by themselves. If you want to read about mutual respect and perhaps some computer science The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is for you! Read Full Review
This issue, as always, is delightful. The jokes are quick, the story is funny, and the general plot remains serious as to the consequences without losing the joy that inhabits every page of Squirrel Girl. Writer Ryan North is quick and clever and artist Erica Henderson is the perfect person to pencil the provocative perlurious programmer Read Full Review
Unbeatable Squirrel Girl embarks on another super fun, super silly storyline. That's exactly why we have this comic and why I love it so. Read Full Review
I've wondered what the appeal to Squirrel Girl was and thought maybe I'd find out. Is it the humor of a superhero who talks to squirrels? Is it found in the comedic way that she always wins despite her power set? Maybe it's all in the name Squirrel Girl? As I read, I failed to find the appeal. Squirrel Girl just isn't my piece of cake I guess.I don't like giving negative reviews, but I dislike giving dishonest reviews even more. Squirrel Girl is too weird for me. And this is coming from a guy who got interested in the Ninja Turtles as a teenager. Read Full Review
Nancy and Tippy-Toe get space-kidnapped thanks to last volume's Galactus shenanigans. Doreen enlists the Sorcerer Supreme to help find them, and that means a surprisingly tight connection to Donny Cates's current "Loki as SS" storyline. Ryan North doubles the usual joke content, with delightful absurdities both subtle and blatant on virtually every page. Erica Henderson's art is strong albeit stuck firmly in the distinctive USG style. Letterer Travis Lanham assists with some outstanding onomatopoeia jokes in the back of the issue; Loki's costuming spells make a "COOUUTURE!" sound while more general Sorcerer Supreme magic goes "DITKOOO." So far both the development of the plot and the general gags running alongside it are outstanding.
