[Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #4]
I have waited all my life to see Galactus canonically call Thanos a tool.
If you’re not reading Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, what are you even doing???
the greatest thing ever to appear in comics.
I laughed for like six minutes. Everyone else in the Noodles and Company stared.
Well, Tom Brevoort did tease us, Squirrel Girl! Power Pack! Adam X! R*M! Battling Babies! Affectionate X-Men! The 75th SPECIAL literally has it all! pic.tw
I WOULD JUST LIKE EVERYONE TO KNOW I AM VERY OKAY WITH THIS

The first thing that came to mind when I was given the solicit text was the “FIGHT!” graphic from Street Fighter, which then reminded me that Marvel’s already got a sweet fighting game that already includes Galactus (in the third one, at least).
My twitter followers may remember a week when I was just freaking out about how good the art, character design and pixel work in Marvel vs Capcom 1 is. Well, now you know why I was studying it so hard. Also, thanks to Hub Comics for letting me peruse the Marvel vs Capcom artbook.
THE UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL #2 RYAN NORTH (W) • ERICA HENDERSON (A/C) Variant cover by JOE QUINONES • Starting college is hard enough, but now Squirrel Girl has to deal with Galactus too? • The fate of the entire planet hangs in the balance, and only Squirrel Girl can save it! • Also, her squirrel friend Tippy Toe.

That time Jubilee took a selfie with Doctor Doom AND MORE, all in The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #3, out next Wednesday, December 16th!
Here’s the solicit:
Hey notice how Jubilee is saying that Wolverine’s claws don’t make the sound snikt, he just SAYS it every time they come out?
BAM: https://twitter.com/ryanqnorth/status/398467447944003584
and notice how the alt text that mentions how the Human Torch doesn’t say “Fmale on!”, his combustion just happens to sound like that?
BAM: https://twitter.com/zdarsky/status/398467812781330432
Both these are from me and @zdarsky chatting years ago before we ever imagined they’d let us write Marvel comics, and now it’s too late to stop us
This comic is Good

This panel is awesome, but that is not a dinosaur. It is a pterosaur and it is no more a dinosaur than an alligator is.
PLEASE. It’s a bit tricky to see in this photo, but if you look behind the statue, you’ll see the body of a (feathered) T.rex, an actual 100% legit dinosaur.
THIS IS NOT MY FIRST DINOSAUR RODEO
This is everything I love about comics
Dinosaurs and arguing?
Our first issue is out today!! You can get Unbeatable Squirrel Girl at your local comic book store, you can download a digital copy RIGHT NOW, and/or you can get them in the mail! DID YOU KNOW: the more copies we sell (whether physical or digital), the better chance we have of getting to make this comic forever and ever??
And on the off chance you don’t want to risk getting this book without some non-me people telling you they think the book is PRETTY OKAY, I have some good news! Here’s a…
REVIEW ROUNDUP
One word: adorbs.
OK, I’ll throw in a few more words. How about super-fun? Or unexpected? Or laugh-out-loud funny?
Some of those are compounds.
Expectations were pretty high for this first issue but THE UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL exceeds them. North, Henderson, and Renzi have put together something that appeals to both young and old that is an incredible amount of fun, featuring a great, stand-out star…
…fun is no longer such a terrible word.The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is a product of this shift, something steadfast and confident in its construction and delivery, an unapologetic take on the pyjama drama as a source of unfettered joy.
There are few “perfect issues” in a year of comics and yet here I am, first week of January writing about another one… There is not one missed or false note, it’s a totally cohesive vision. Everyone creating this book knows exactly what they want it to be and exactly how to get it there.
…one of the most fun debuts published by Marvel Comics in a very long time. If you’re looking for a comic that you can share with anyone or that will cheer you up after a major bummer of a day, this is it. At the end of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #1 there is only one question worth asking: When does #2 come out?
I hope you enjoy the book! Next month even crazier things happen. UNTIL THEN I PROPOSE WE ALL:
