Description

The death of Squirrel Girl! Yes, you read that right! Can it be true? Has the Unbeatable really been beaten? And to death, at that? Is this truly the end of Doreen Green? You've read comics before, we assume, so yeah, probably not - but there's only one way to find out for sure! Plus: Witness a fighting mad Iron Man! Thrill to underwater adventure! And recoil as the world of our fallen hero is rocked by a pesky invasion of Skrulls! Why is all this happening? Who is behind it? And what goals - sinister or otherwise - are they working toward? Prepare for all to become clear as mysteries are laid bare and secret origins are revealed!.

I let go my reservations about the art and just went with the flow of the story and had a hell of a good time. North has fun mixing classic alien invasion paranoia with today's concerns about undocumented immigrants. (Come to think of it, concerns about immigrants are sadly classic too, aren't

This volume begins with the funeral of Squirrel Girl, with Doreen in attendance in disguise. Not actually being dead, she decides to remain undercover in order to investigate who the impostor is that faked her death. After some corny confrontations with Tony Stark, it is revealed that a refugee

Skrull girl is behind it all. I'm only familiar with the Skrulls from the Captain Marvel movie, so it seems that they always turn out to be good despite being feared and mistrusted. Nevertheless it's another good story. The final issue is not as brilliant as its two predecessors but more of filler as Nancy and Peter Parker are in danger as the villain Ms. Quizzler terrorizes everyone with trivia questions. I like the art better, though.

When someone pretending to be Squirrel Girl "dies", rather than revealing herself to be alive Doreen goes undercover to figure out who was pretending to be her and why they faked her death. Plus a one-off issue that sees Doreen facing off against Ms. Quizzler to save Nancy and Peter Parker.

of Squirrel Girl fun as usual. It's also fun that we got much more story with her and Tony teaming up as they riff off each other well. Recommended for fans of the series.

Squirrel Girl vs. shape-shifting aliens; also, a quiz-obsessed villain.

3/4 (Good).

It's funny enough that I like it, but there's nothing worth mentioning other than jokes. The main story is not great, and the single-issue story is bad. Derek Charm's art contributes so little that it might as well be

a Dinosaurs Comic. If it weren't for the fact that there are only two volumes left in the series, this would probably be the point where I start thinking about giving up.

The 10th collection of comics featuring The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, the Marvel superhero with the power of squirrel and the power of girl! Also the powers of friendship, computer science, math, and healthy conflict resolution. All of which are in use in the main story here, which starts with the

apparent death of Squirrel Girl. But -- shock! twist! -- it turns out she isn't actually dead at all, but had been replaced with an alien duplicate. Lots of fun, at least one actually kind of surprising twist, and a typically pleasant, uplifting resolution follow. There's also a short standalone story featuring a villain with an obsession for quizzes and trivia, and also some guy named Peter Parker.

I always enjoy reading these. Squirrel Girl is honestly the only superhero I have any real interest in following in comics form.
