We got this one at our comic book store this week for my 11-year-old. It's pretty cute. I love Squirrel Girl's personality and that she solved her problem using her college-bound brain. We plan on adding this one to our subscription list.
Squirrel Girl defeats bad guys by talking to them and figuring out how to solve their problems. Unless the bad guys are unreasonable, in which case she fights them. Also, she talks to squirrels. It's charming and fun.
The illustrations aren't my favorite, but the footnotes are the best thing I've seen in a comic!! The way that other Marvel characters are included (and name-dropped) is HILARIOUS, and Doreen's confidence is great to see.
As far as mainstream superhero comics go, I think "Unbeatable Squirrel Girl" is, hands-down, one of the best titles I've read in the last few months. (And I read [i]alot[/i] of comics!)Much like the new Harley Quinn title for DC, this is a refreshing change for the company. It doesn't require an encyclopediac knowledge of the Marvel Universe, the tone is light and breezy, and the writing and art are top-notch.And Squirrel-Girl herself is a refreshing, non-stereotypical female superhero, and is w...
So much fun. I laughed out loud, multiple times. And to make it even better, squirrel girl makes me happy on a moral level. While already a super hero, squirrel girl goes to college to study computer science so she can be the best version of herself she can be. And while she dives into fights, she quickly reminds herself that violence is not the answer and finds a hilarious and ethical way out that depends more on her understanding of humans than of squirrels. And lastly, a girl this strong shou...
Few spoilers in this review so deal with it - or don’t! Nuts to you, nuts for everyone! Doreen Green is THE UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL! She’s got a tail, the teeth, she loves eating nuts and sitting in trees, she’s part squirrel, part human - and she’s going to college! With her squirrel sidekick Tippy-Toe, she fights crime, and, in this first issue, Kraven the Hunter! But cosmic disaster looms in Squirrel Girl’s future - GALACTUS(!?!) is on the way! First of all, I love that Marvel are putting ou...
she has a theme song! her roommate has knitting posters! how could I not be charmed!
Hilarious!Fantastic intro, who hasn't changed the words of Spidey's theme song to make it their own. Sincerely excited for this series, not only is the story fun with smart dialogue but the tiny asides at the bottom of each page offering commentary on the story are fantastically entertaining. Even the "Letters from Nuts" section at the end is funny!
Don't love the art, but I don't hate it. If you've been reading North's Adventure Time comics, the voice is really similar, so I keep hearing AT characters in my head when I'm reading Squirrel Girl.
This is a light, fun comic with cartoony art. It's nice. The little sidenote thoughts at the bottoms of the pages are cute. If you like sillier comics, you might like this. I usually like fun comics/characters but, unfortunately, Squirrel Girl doesn't strike a chord with me. I doubt I'll pick up the later issues.That said, I really appreciate that this confident, happy female protagonist has a more "everyday" body type and facial features. It breaks from the norm and gives young women especially...
Shallow Comics On Top for a Change buddy read!Criteria: D-lister as the title character. Ok, I picked Squirrel Girl, because prior to this, I'd never even heard of her before. Ever. Ever, ever, ever.And after reading this, I never want to hear about her again.Ever. Ever, ever, ever.This just didn't do much for me. I'm not saying I hated it, but it certainly didn't make me want to read more about this chick.She's overly squirrelish, for one thing.Squirrelish in an annoying way that makes you wan
What a ridiculous and loveable superhero! I kept wanting to give this to my squirrel-obsessed two year old friend, but I think she might need to grow into it. No real Marvelverse knowledge required to enjoy this one. Just a love of quirky girls and squirrels.
Hehehe~ I don't usually read comic books, but Squirrel Girl's making me reconsider with all its deep life messages in casual talk and the epic army of squirrels <3 The only shame was how short it was ; v ; which I'm assuming is standard for most comic books but ; v ; I WANT MOREEEEEE
I read this cuz my buddy told me to.I also got to read this because I have Marvel Unlimited for a month.And I could read this because it was the only one available because it's over 6 months old.This was hilarious! I can't wait to read more!So not a serious comic.If you like the Groot series then you'll love this!
Eh. It was cute. Sort of in the vein of Noelle Stevenson's LUMBERJANES for me: cute, yes, and I'd recommend it to friends' middle-graders. But not quite enough there for me to follow the series. 2.5 stars for my enjoyment level, but a 3 for the skill that went into its creation.
I love that her solution to having a large, bushy tail while simultaneously seeking a secret identity is to tuck it in her pants and thus creating a "conspicuously large and conspicuously awesome butt." Bravo on a most entertaining 1st issue.
SQUIRREL GIRL IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER READ.
Crossposted to The Bibliosanctum.Doreen Green, better known to readers as Squirrel Girl, has decided that it’s time for her to stop living in the Avengers’ attic and forge her own identity in the world as a person and a superhero. This starts creating her own theme song, which she’s sure will catch on eventually, and enrolling in Empire State University where she’ll build on her awesome by amassing more knowledge. This also means learning to balance her crime fighting with her new life on the ou...
I really enjoy the art style and Doreen Green's sense of humor, and squirrels abundant!Some dislikes:- Footnotes at bottom of almost every page, in the smallest text possible. I stopped reading them after the fourth or fifth page.- This comic definitely assumes I'm up to date on Marvel universe happenings. I'm not. I'm a fairly casual reader of comics, and I wish this issue had done like Ms. Marvel and "introduce" me to the character and give me a rundown of the latest action.
HOW WAS THIS GOOD?! It was ridiculous, with a ridiculous character who I spent a lot of time going, "WHY ARE YOU SO ANNOYING?!" and somehow I finished it and said, "Damnation, why didn't I buy the second one?" I'm not even sure what I enjoyed, but I can tell you I laughed. Not, "hee hee, cute," but actually had to stop because I was laughing so hard at one point. Oh, and do not miss the little print under each page, sometimes that was funnier than the story in front of you, but all told with Squ...
