WAR OF THE REALMS TIE-IN!
• The other nine realms have fallen, Earth is under attack and the only one who can save us is DOREEN GREEN, A.K.A. THE UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL.
• So that's terrific. We're in great hands and don't need to worry at all! Phew.
• Or at least we would be, if it weren't for the complicating factor of an ancient Asgardian Squirrel Chaos God who's decided she wants to be...FRIENDS??
• In this issue, Squirrel Girl and Ratatoskr fight Frost Giants...and their unspoken assumptions about each other!
• This arc is a "WAR OF THE more
A funny, self aware, and surprisingly deep story that promises to be a lot of fun and is perfect for readers of all ages. Read Full Review
Taken all together, this issue is a good follow-up to USG's first major event tie-in, and her communications with Iron Man give it real credence that she is the hero in charge of freeing North America rather than an afterthought. It's a huge step up for both Doreen and the creative team and both deserve the promotion. Next squirrel squad goal: Squirrel Girl in Phase 4. Read Full Review
