The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats Up The Marvel Universe

Various — 2016

Proof that we're living in the best of all possible worlds: THERE'S GONNA BE A SQUIRREL GIRL GRAPHIC NOVEL! It's a stand-alone adventure that's both great for new Squirrel Girl readers, and also for people who ALREADY know about how she can talk to squirrels and also punch really well! Behold: a story so HUGE it demanded a graphic novel! A story so NUTS that it incorporates BOTH senses of that word (insanity AND the weird hard fruit thingies) (they're fruits, did you know that?) (I didn't until I looked them up just now, so looks like we're all learning science from this solicit text for a comic book!) Squirrel Girl has defeated Thanos, Galactus, and Doctor Doom. TWICE. But in this all-new graphic novel, she'll encounter her most dangerous, most powerful, most unbeatable enemy yet: HERSELF. Specifically, an evil duplicate made possible through mad science (both computer and regular) as well as some Bad Decisions. In other words, SQUIRREL GIRL BEATS UP THE MARVEL UNIVERSE! YES. I CAN'T WAIT, AND I'M THE GUY WRITING IT.

Squirrel Girl is favorite hero! I've been following her adventures in Ryan North and Erica Henderson's fantastic and funny comic books and I was really happy to see she'd be getting graphic novel treatment. Squirrel Girl is super smart, funny, loves her friends, computer science, squirrels, eating nuts and kicking butts. She's not dressed in skimpy body suits. Her hair isn't perfect. She relies on her smarts and the powers of a girl and a squirrel to save the day over and over again. I don't want to give away the story at all, but I was not expecting the twists and turns this story took. And there are lots of cameos from Marvel heroes and villains - as you can probably tell from the cover - who do indeed get their butts kicked. Just like the comics, this book is smart and funny and I can't recommend it enough if you know young girls who want to read comics!
