Kinda nonplussed by this one? I will NEVER say no to a Kraven arc, especially with an escape room thrown in. That said, Squirrel Girl usually underwhelms me the comic tries to tackle themes of redemption and reconciliation. Doreen, I love ya, but maybe Kraven needs to go to jail? Maybe personal charisma / likeability / good deeds / the world's sweetest van doesn't get you off the hook for past misdeeds?

The art is strong, but I miss the quirkiness of Erica's character and costume designs.

I didn't even really enjoy the librarian comic! As a librarian myself, I usually have a good sense of humor about librarian stereotypes, but c'mon Ryan, give me one normal, contemporary librarian on-screen to counter the shushing bun lady. (That said, there were some excellent Dewey Decimal jokes so he was playing to his base in that respect.)

I was worried when it was announced Erica Henderson was leaving Squirrel Girl but i really loved Derek Charm's line work. Plus, Erica Henderson still did covers. And Ryan North continues his cheery blend of friendship, heroics and computer science

The first volume with a new artist. I'm not huge on it but it didn't take away enough for me to care that much. My favorite issue was the last one, which was about a spooky librarian ghost who enforced strict silence, and the entire issue had no dialogue.

Ok this managed to make me fall for Kraven like I never expected to, and not just because of the artist's lovingly created smirks and hairy chests. (But yeah I dug those.)

All the meta-humor and upbeat charm we expect from Squirrel Girl, plus an Escape Room! I almost wish the escape room early part had gone longer.

4.5 because the new artist is a man, and it unfortunately shows a bit.
