In which The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl makes some super friends! Really enjoyed this volume, in particular issues 7 & 8 within the volume, I think demonstrate everything that is so right about this iteration of squirrel girl; there's action, there's puns, there's friendship, there's hijinks, and we get to see a lot of familiar superheroes that even the most casual marvel fan knows about. One thing I really dig about the comic run so far is how Ryan North and Erica Henderson aren't afraid of showing how Squirrel Girl fits into the wider cast of Marvel superheroes, while still having a lot of fun with it and poking fun at the those superheroes at the same time. I also have to give major props to Erica Henderson for how she is able to mimic past marvel comic art styles--in issue five alone she moves back and forth between art styles at least five times. Onwards to volume 3!
