Reader's Diary #1634- Ryan North (artist), Erica Henderson (writer): The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats Up the Marvel Universe

Any fan of Squirrel Girl can tell you, she may have the super powers of a squirrel but she's not to be messed with. She's beaten up the biggest of the baddies before (Thanos, Galactus, and Dr. Doom) so how does she top herself? By clearing the entire Marvel Universe. Sort of.

Actually, there's a bit of a cheat. It's not the original Squirrel Girl but rather her evil misguided clone. Nonetheless, she joins the ranks of the Punisher and Deadpool as the few who have taken on the rest of the Marvel heroes and survived (interestingly both of these guys also fall to her this time around).

It's a typical wonderful Squirrel Girl tale with Ryan North's irreverent brand of humour and Erica Henderson's balanced complimentary goofy art.

I'm still longing for Squirrel Girl to show up in something that feels like canon, but I'll take these fun stories in any case.
