Our trio of Spiderman, Squirrel Girl and Ms. Marvel is back. This time friendship, strange things happening at school, priorities, and more!


A superduper fun book this time we get Doreen aka Squirrel Girl as MC and I loved it. Hope that next time is Miles! Squirrel Girl is really hit/miss for me. I like her character/her powers, but it really depends on how she gets written if I like her or not. The comics that I read. No. She was immature, annoying, and more squirrel than girl. But in the Hale and also Chhibber way we have a mature, fun, punny and sweet girl! And I was just delighted. This is the girl I want to see.

I really liked seeing what happened at the school and all the evil things that got planned and plotted. A lot of things happen at school (both good and bad) and at times I just felt so sad for the characters that got in trouble for things they didn’t do. Or well. Not consciously. I had fun puzzling and figuring out who could be the mastermind of the story. I have to say I am a bit disappointed it is that villain, I do hope next time we get someone else as the big baddie.

I was sad about the friendship between Nancy/Doreen, but I am proud that she knew she was wrong and tried to patch it up. I was also said to see the friendship/teamship between the characters disappear a bit (and how they didn’t believe her), but thankfully things got patched up and I saw my team again!

I cannot wait for the next book, X-Men! Yas! I cannot wait to see my favourite X-Men in this fabulous art style.
