Summary:

Doreen Green has seen it all. She's fought countless villains during her time as a hero. She even babysat for fellow heroes. Now she's striking out to do something new – attend college! Keeping her life a secret will be easier said than done while living on campus, but surely it's possible?

Squirrel Girl may not be the biggest name in the Marvel universe – but she's still around to save the day. More importantly, she is often around when other heroes are too busy with other missions, which makes her perfect for the job.

Review:

Despite being a big Marvel fan girl, I have never sat down to read all of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. I know; shame on me. I'm here to fix that, I promise! I have the entire series stacked right next to me as I write this.

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Vol. 1is every bit the chaos-fueled adventure I expected it to be. In truth, I love Doreen's energy, even if she'd probably exhaust me in real life (I'm a born introvert, shocking, I know).

The best part about this series is that it's pretty approachable for anyone. You don't have to know everything about the Marvel universe (though a decent foundation will help) to give this series a go. Doreen's character and personality can help make up for any lack of knowledge. Oh, and her collection of superhero/villain trading cards helps.

Highlights:
Young Superheroes
Squirrels
Funny Heroine
Chaos & Banter

I was wary about believing all the hype around Squirrel Girl, but I am 100% sold.

This was so much fun! I loved how Squirrel Girl is connected to other Marvel characters and they're mentioned through out this. I also loved the little extra remarks at the bottom of each page, I didn't notice them straight away so I had to go back and read them.

I laughed out loud a few times while reading, one was when Tippy-Toe was wearing the Ironman head and hand suit hahaha!!! You have to read it to see, it looks ridiculously hilarious!

Definitivamente hilarante!

Un superhéroe que te demuestra que la violencia no es lo único que se necesita para derrotar a los mas grandes supervillanos de Marvel!!

No se la recomiendo a nadie que este buscando un cómic serio, más bien es para alguien que busque distraerse un rato con algo un poco bobo.

(las ilustraciones no son las mejores por cierto)

This was a very cute, upbeat comic with a lot of spunk! It kind of bounced around a little much for my taste and felt a tad anticlimactic, but at the same time it was fun to read.

So cute!! Squirrel Girl is such a great protagonist and the Deadpool villain trading cards are such a clever touch.

In which we meet Doreen, who disguises herself by stuffing her giant squirrel tail in her pants ("completely regular college student... who just happens to appear to have a conspicuously large AND conspicuously awesome butt"), and talks to squirrels, steals some Iron Man suit parts.
Avoid if you do not like puns and various forms of nerdy humor because WOW WE HAVE A LOT OF IT HERE.
