And with the presence of several of Marvel’s greatest heroes guest starring, Henderson gets to display plenty of action in her own unique style. That and the little squirrel nuances that she slips into the title character which make her more than just a woman with a squirrel tail and ears.
Henderson’s art is a perfect fit for North’s writing, managing to flit between adorable and hilarious at the drop of a hat.
UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL BEATS UP THE MARVEL UNIVERSE SERIES
Everything from Squirrel Girl’s chemistry with her university and super-hero friends (especially Iron Man who gets to show off the smarmy side we don’t get to see as often these days), the surprisingly touching and more intense moments like Squirrel Girl and her clone’s ethical argument over squirrels and her main sidekick Tippy-Toe’s rising to the occasion, to the series trademark footnotes at the bottom of almost every page, all make this a truly fun reading experience. North’s script is dependably punchy and hilarious, with plenty of squirrel related puns that if you’re not a fan of puns will drive you nuts (so sorry) – but it all adds to the series’ charm. Having retained regular series writer Ryan North and artist Erica Henderson, this standalone adventure fits perfectly alongside Squirrel Girl’s current exploits. However, things quickly go south when the disagreements between the two over squirrels’ role in society emerge and Squirrel Girl finds herself up against her most unbeatable enemy yet: herself! Through the wonders of mad science (computer and regular), Squirrel Girl ends up with an exact duplicate of herself which at first seems like a wonderful thing. As a result, it’s no surprise that Squirrel Girl was chosen to star in the latest entry of Marvel’s Original Graphic Novel line.
The series was a hit with fans and critics – and was even nominated for two Eisner Awards. Chronicling her departure from Avengers Mansion to major in computer science at Empire State University, the series has been a constant barrel of laughs as Squirrel Girl struggles to adjust to her new status quo whilst fighting all levels of villainy from Kraven The Hunter all the way up to Galactus. One of the best new series to come out last year was Doreen Green’s solo title debut in The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.
