Description
It's a normal, quiet day at Empire State University, filled with lots of lectures and higher education and students learning quietly. But don't turn away, there's also going to be a fist fight! A big one! And Doreen Green will also get a new Flying Squirrel suit from a mystery benefactor that would render her even more unbeatable, if such a thing were scientifically possible! That pretty much means crime is over forever. There definitely can't be a new super villain in town conspiring to mold Squirrel Girl into the perfect minion...or is there?! Gasp at a secret invasion of character motivations! Thrill at a civil war of emotions! Boggle as monsters truly get unleashed and Doreen's fate hangs in the balance! Also, machine-gun-wielding bears! It's squirrels and girls and punching, oh my!… (more)

Squirrel Girls gains the ability to become a Flying Squirrel, but at a cost. This time she has to fight Melissa Morbeck, and yet another attempt to take over the world. There's also a fun side story starring the new crime fighting trio of Chipmunk Hunk, Koi Boi, and Brain Drain.

An excellent entry in the Squirrel Girl canon. I laughed out loud multiple times.
This isn't a criticism, but I have to note that reading a Squirrel Girl trade takes three times longer than other graphic novels of the same length. There is so much crammed into these books, mostly in teeny, tiny

type. I totally sympathized with the woman who uses reading glasses who wrote a letter asking that the footnotes on the pages be darker and/or larger. Show Less

Doreen goes to a guest lecture at the university and ends up meeting a mysterious benefactor who provides her with cool gear. However, all is not as it seems and the rest of the animal kingdom may end up being pulled into the fight.
Squirrel Girl rocks! That is all.

Squirrel Girl vs. someone who can talk to animals; also, Brain Drain learns about friendship.
3.5/4 (Very good)
I'm still having fun, but this book is carried entirely by comic relief and good art. The story is rough, uninteresting, and full of holes. On the other hand, The Adventures of Chef Bear

The sixth collection of Unbeatable Squirrel Girl comics, featuring Doreen Green, aka Squirrel Girl. This one mostly consists of a multi-part story which begins with Doreen getting a mentor/patron who builds her a new flying squirrel suit, which turns out to be less awesome than it sounds and just
There's also one standalone story in which Doreen and her roommate Nancy take off on vacation, leaving their friends Koi Boy, Chipmunk Hunk, and Brain Drain to defend the city. It was nice to see these characters getting to do some stuff on their own, and the plot was cute, plus I can never, ever, ever get enough of Brain Drain, the nihilistic villain-turned-somewhat-confused-hero brain-in-a-jar-on-a-robot-body, so I found this one rather delightful.
Also, a few issues in, there was a request in the letters column from someone pointing out that the little "secret" notes and amusing commentary at the bottom of most of the pages are very, very hard to read for those of us with aging, bifocal-clad eyes, and come the next issue they actually fixed this. It's a very small change, but OMG, it's now a million times easier to read. No more horrible eyestrain! Much as I love Squirrel Girl, it's the writer of that letter who is the real hero here. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Kristin Boldon of Minneapolis, MN. I will be grateful to you forever, or at least for as long as I keep reading these comics.

I wouldn't call it my favorite Squirrel Girl storyline so far, but it was fun, as usual, with a particularly entertaining ending.There's also one standalone story in which Doreen and her roommate Nancy take off on vacation, leaving their friends Koi Boy, Chipmunk Hunk, and Brain Drain to defend the city.
