THE FORBIDDEN PLA-NUT PART 2
• Nancy (human, no powers) and Tippy-Toe (squirrel, no powers) have been kidnapped! Trapped on an alien world filled with alien squirrels, they have only a short amount of time to figure out something - ANYTHING - before EVERYBODY DIES.
• But that's okay, because Squirrel Girl will rescue them, right? I'd love to say, "Yes, absolutely," but instead I am forced to say, "No way, she's trapped on Earth, she barely knows where they are, and she has to defeat THE DREAD DORMAMMU before she can go anywhere!"
• And with LOKI standing in as Sorcerer Supreme, it's not like this battle is going to more
This is the most insane, roundabout way of getting out of Dormamu's trap and I am in awe of the thought process involved. Read Full Review
Funny, weird and very inventive, the new issue of Unbeatable Squirrel Girl uses space madness and multiple guest stars to have the same great fun we already love. Read Full Review
Doreen and Loki get to the Squirrel Planet, recruiting Drax along the way, Nancy twigs to the fake surfers' scam and proposes a counter-scam, and the *real* Silver Surfer shows up, causing cliffhanger-y Problems. All that happens in a remarkably small number of pages at the end; the front of the book delivers an absurd and funny but undeniably superfluous foiling of Dormammu. "Seinfeldian" is the adjective I gravitate to when describing this issue's tone. It's a good comic, but it's pulled down from its full potential by its digressive pace and some art that feels rough even by the standards of this title.
