The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Vol. 6: Who Run The World? Squirrels


34626212

Today’s is on The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Vol. 6: Who Run The World? Squirrels (The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #6) by Ryan North (Goodreads Author) (Writer), Erica Henderson (Illustrator). It is volume 6 in The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl series, as such you need to have read the first five volumes. The cover has Squirrel Girl looking cool has she flies. The intended reader is someone who likes comic books, humorous stories, and girl power. There is no foul language, no sex, and comic violence in this book. The story is told from third person close of the main characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- Is it even scientifically possible to make Doreen Green more unbeatable? It is with a brand-new flying squirrel suit!
Doreen gets a rich mentor! And you know what that means: Costume Upgrade. Because some squirrels… can fly! Now Squirrel Girl can stop crime from the sky- and just in time, too, ‘cuz Rhino’ on the prowl! But while Doreen’s got only the best intentions, a new super villain in town want to mold Squirrel Girl into the perfect minion. Gasp at a secret invasion of character motivations! Thrill at a civil war of emotions! Boggle as monster truly get unlashed and Doreen’s fate hangs in the balance! Also, machine-gun-wielding bears! It’s squirrels and girls and punching, oh my! Plus: When Squirrel Girl goes to the Negative Zone, it’s up to Koi Boi, Chipmuck Hunk and Brain Drain to keep the city safe. Uh-oh!
Review- This volume is one big story arc and it is a fun change of pace from the one-offs that most of Squirrel Girl’s adventures are. We get a villain who is jealous of Doreen’s natural powers and she wants to make Doreen into a villain too. That is her motive, weak but it works for Squirrel Girl comic. Of course once Squirrel Girl learns of her nefarious plans, she must be stopped and the animals that the villain is controlling must be freed. There a wacky side story about a bear and chicken going from enemies to getting married in the end of the arc, it’s funny. The last story with the guys has its moments and it’s wacky with villains pretending to be good guys to get away and the power of friendship with Brain Drain learning more about being human. I enjoyed this volume and I cannot want 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 book from my local library.
