I am NUTS about this book......or Steve Ditko's 2nd best creation.

By Stephen Vincent Kempton on August 31, 2015

Format: Kindle Edition

This trade paperback collects the first four issues of Squirrel Girl's ongoing series which started in January 2015 plus her debut appearance in Marvel Superheroes #8 from 1990.

The writing is from Ryan North of Dinosaur Comics and most recently the Adventure Time Comic. Art is by the Indie / Alternative darling Erica Henderson. The art is charming and delightful in it's simplicity and quirkiness. The writing is simplistic but equally charming. This is a book that can be enjoyed by the very young and the very old and everybody in between.

Doreen Green is Squirrel Girl and she is an over night sensation. That is if you consider 25 years over night. Created by Steve Ditko (Spider-Man's co-creator) and Will Murray ( author of new Doc Savage and Tarzan Novels) in 1990. She was kept alive by writers such as Dan Slott who placed her in his Great Lakes Avengers. Some credit must also be given to G Willow Wilson who's Ms. Marvel reboot proved their was a market for books featuring teen aged girl super-heroes.

Doreen Green who was fifteen in her first appearance is now old enough to start college (18 ?) We join the book as Doreen starts her college life. She has the proportional speed and strength of a squirrel. She also has a large bushy tail which she tucks in her pants when in her civilian identity so that she looks like Nicki Minaj. She also can talk with squirrels and have them do her bidding. Tippy-Toe the squirrel is her faithful friend and side kick.

This book should be also praised for giving us a young girl character with a realistic body type and not another big boobed centerfold shaped girl that you find in most superhero comics.

The first issue is a stand alone where she goes up against Kraven The Hunter.Read more ›

Great for adults and great for kids

By Liz on September 4, 2015

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

I expected this to be cute and funny, but it's also surprisingly good for reading to kids. My daughter was showing an interest in superheroes and loved Zita the Spacegirl, so I thought this would be a nice next comic to read. She LOVES it, and I can actually enjoy it, too. I've laughed out loud multiple times, which is a lot more than I can say about anything else I've ever read to her. I would have probably bought this for myself anyway, but I thought I'd leave a review in case anyone else is on the fence about whether this is good for kids. It's hard (but getting easier!) to find books or comics that are good for younger kids but also stand up to repeated readings. I love that this is something I can read on my own but also share with my daughter.

My daughter and I both love it

By C. Muffoletto on September 3, 2015

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

I'm a long time comic book reader, but Squirrel Girl is unlike anything else out there right now. It's clever and funny, and the heroine would actually rather not fight if she can avoid it. Best of all, the book, unlike those starring the most popular superheroes, is for all-ages, which means I can hand it over to my 6-year-old, who loves it, too. She looks through it every day and we even practice her reading using it.

If you are familiar with the characters and history of Marvel comics, you will get more out of the stories. However, if you aren't, you will still be charmed, entertained, and will probably laugh out loud a few times. And your kids will, too.

Great, light-hearted fun

By Joseph M. Reninger on December 16, 2015

Format: Paperback

There is no doubt that some Marvel Comics heroes have ridiculous superpowers. Mr. Fantastic can stretch into any shape. Ant-Man can shrink to microscopic sizes and can control ants. So a teenager with squirrel powers isn't so surprising. Squirrel Girl originally appeared in 1990 when she and her cohort of squirrels defeated Doctor Doom. Ironman was there but he didn't do much helping (to be honest, Tony Stark was more damsel-in-distress than knight-in-shining-armor). Marvel has reintroduced the character in 2015 and this trade paperback includes the first four issues along with that original adventure with Ironman and Doctor Doom.

Doreen Green is Squirrel Girl and she's been living in the Avengers Mansion attic for a while. She decides to go to college and have a bit of a regular life. She keeps running into trouble. Her roommate has a cat (which is against college rules but the roommate doesn't care). The cat does get along with Tippy-Toe, Doreen's pet squirrel (who is also her sidekick when fighting villains). So things work out. On campus, Kraven the Hunter shows up. Doreen suits up and heads out for a big fight in the campus woods. She does as much talking as using her powers to send Kraven packing. Will she be great enough to defeat Galactus, whose approach to the planet Earth has only been detected by the squirrels?

The stories are silly but fun. I laughed often while reading and found her naive optimism charming (a refreshing change from the dark, brooding comics that seem to dominate the current market). The art is bright and cartoony, also a refreshing change from the overly violent and sexualized content in other comics. If you want lots of light-hearted chuckles, the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is right up your alley.

You'll never look at acorns the same way again...

By DJ Joe Sixpack HALL OF FAMETOP 1000 REVIEWER on October 15, 2015

Format: Paperback

"The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Vol. 1: Squirrel Power"
Written by Ryan North
(Marvel Comics)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a genuinely wacky, bizarre superhero parody book, collecting the first issues of the "Unbeatable Squirrel Girl" series... The character was a goofy toss-off created in the 1980s by Steve Ditko during one of the mercy-hire gigs given to him by Marvel Comics years after he'd passed his prime. (That story, a "team up" with a reluctant Iron Man, is reprinted in the back of this book...) Ditko obviously could have cared less about the story but amazingly Marvel let writer Ryan North revive the character and we, the fans, couldn't be more delighted.

Squirrel Girl turns out to be one Doreen Green, an uber-enthusiastic college-age gal with big buck teeth and the proportional strength and various abilities of those funny little tree rodents with the big bushy tails. (Note: they never specify whether her powers are those of red squirrels, gray squirrels, or even flying squirrels... which do exist and are hard to get out of your attic.) Doreen is a never-say-never kinda gal, and manages to face down Marvel uber-baddies such as Galactus, Kraven The Hunter and Doctor Doom, usually in ways you'd never expect. Pretty much every panel has some kind of gag in it, along with numerous editorial notes and a running commentary at the bottom of every page. The letters column and other features reflect the same, um, nutty sense of humor and if you're looking for a fun, funny, family-friendly comicbook, one that's equally entertaining for grown-ups or kids, "Squirrel Girl" might just be for you! (DJ Joe SIxpack, ReadThatAgain children's book reviews)
