The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Vol. 5: Like I'm the Only Squirrel in the World


30842275

Today’s post is on The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Vol. 5: Like I'm the Only Squirrel in the World by Ryan North (Writer), Erica Henderson (Artist), Will Murray (Writer). It is 128 pages long and is published by Marvel Comics. The cover is white with Doreen, tippy, and AntMan on it. The intended reader is someone who has read the first four volumes, likes comic books, humorous story-lines, and great heroines. There is no foul language, no sex, and mild violence in this book. The story is told from third person close of Doreen and goes with her with funny asides from other characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Everyone gets a week-long break from class, and Squirrel Girl is taking Nancy to visit her parents up in Canada! WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG, RIGHT? Turns out, nothing! It's a great trip and nothing of note happens and our story is actually EXTREMELY DULL. Sorry everyone. No, just kidding! Our story is actually SUPER AWESOME and things get real crazy real quick once a certain super-powered villain nobody has heard of for over a decade reappears! That's right! This comic features mysteries AND Canadians AND camping, not to mention our ALREADY super-enticing focus on squirrel powers! Let's see Howard the Duck promise you THAT.
Review- Another great adventure with Doreen and company! We get good action, good humor, and of course more Doreen at her finest. Lots happen in this volume from Doreen, Nancy, and Mrs. Green going on a vacation and having it ruined by villainy. The villain has a mix of powers that make Doreen have to think outside the box to win and make him into a good guy. Add in AntMan and Brain Drain for some more flavor to round out this volume. The last part is Doreen talking about her past and how many lonely birthdays she had before she made friends with the other heroes. I love this comic and Doreen so much, it is not funny how much. She has it all humor, action, science programs, and of course the message of talking things out to try and find a middle ground. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next volume.
I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this comic from my local library.
