Writer Ryan North kills with a hilarious funeral scene, proving that this comic is never not funny. Read Full Review
The central mystery is intriguing, but honestly, some of the best moments are when the group is just talking amongst each other, and this issue features that in spades. Read Full Review
Sorry I just love this comic so much.
The funeral of Squirrel Girl features a Tom Sawyer dodge and a flashback that explains quite well why the Avengers think SG is dead. The tone is absurd and absurdly entertaining all the way through. Whether the heroes' last-scene hypothesis proves to be right or wrong, I simply have to see what comes next. This one zooms close to perfection.
This was really good. The character interactions didn't become trite and the pacing wasn't slower down by overly observational humor.
Fun issue. It just hard reconciling that some scenes put this in the jokeyverse and not 616. Still not thrilled with art but it was bearable this ish. Not sure about Octobliterator character intro but it was a novel -if forced- way to give Captain Marvel a high end showing.
