As you could maybe guess from the title, this is the third collection of Unbeatable Squirrel Girl comics. That's right, the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl! She has the powers of a squirrel and the powers of a girl, and she's here to eat nuts and kick butts! I have to admit I've never really been a huge fan of superhero comics (something which, I'm aware, means I'm probably missing all kinds of Marvel references and in-jokes in these), but if more of them were like Squirrel Girl, I'm sure I would be, because these are just tons of fun. This particular collection features a rather slight one-issue story in which Squirrel Girl befriends a nihilistic brain in a jar/cyborg, and a delightfully ridiculous multi-part story featuring time travel and supervillain Doctor Doom. There is also a two-part crossover with Howard the Duck. Which... Well, hey, ducks, squirrels, sure. Why not? Squirrel Girl continues to charm, this time with the added bonus of time travel. Super fun, with some timey whimeyness added in, and some really interesting use of time travel to save the day! Also it ended with a time travel paradox which made me laugh. The two issue crossover with Howard the Duck was also cute and funny. no reviews | add a review

With her unique combination of wit, empathy and squirrel powers, computer science student Doreen Green - aka the unbeatable Squirrel Girl - is all that stands between the Earth and total destruction. Well, Doreen plus her friends Tippy-Toe (a squirrel) and Nancy (a regular human with no powers). So, mainly Squirrel Girl. Then what hope does the Earth have if she gets hurled back in time to the 1960s and erased from history? At least Nancy will never forget her friend, but what invincible armored Avenger can she call on to help, through the magic of social media? Decades apart, can they avert doom, or will everything go wrong forever? Howard the Duck hopes not...he has an appointment for a crossover! No library descriptions found.

And oh goodness, Ryan North really hits the mark here with nerdy humor: and I mean nerdy in the sense of "requires intellect," not "silly pop culture references from my childhood." ( )
