Collects The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #1-4, Marvel Super-Heroes (1992) #8.

Doctor Doom, Deadpool, even Thanos: There’s one hero who’s beaten them all — and now she’s starring in her own series! That’s right, it’s SQUIRREL GIRL! The nuttiest and most upbeat super hero in the world is starting college! And as if meeting her new roommate and getting to class on time isn’t hard enough, now she has to deal with Kraven the Hunter, too? At least her squirrel friend Tippy-Toe is on hand to help out. But what can one girl, and one squirrel, do when a hungry Galactus heads toward Earth? You’d be surprised! With time running out and Iron Man lending a helping hand (sort of), who will win in the battle between the Power Cosmic and the Power Chestnut? Plus: Squirrel Girl’s classic debut!

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 5–8—Supervillains and criminals meet their match with Tony Stark's friend Squirrel Girl, aka Doreen Green, a college freshman with the appearance, speed, and agility of a squirrel. Fitting in proves to be challenging, as normal girls do not talk to or have a squirrel sidekick, nor do they have super strength. Then there is Squirrel Girl's roommate, who has a tough exterior and is obsessed with knitting and her cat. Luckily, Squirrel Girl has a knack for winning people over. When Galactus threatens Earth, the heroine must rely on more than strength to defeat the Devourer of Worlds. She may have extraordinary strength, an army of squirrels at her disposal, a collection of Deadpool villain trading cards, and nut-inspired catchphrases, but it is her ability to form connections with people that proves to be her most powerful asset. North and Henderson have created a fun, fast-paced graphic novel that will appeal to Marvel fans as well as readers who are unfamiliar with—or do not enjoy—traditional superhero comics. Bright, bold color choices fit well with the humorous tone. Squirrel Girl is likable, confident, and endearing—the first scene shows her beating up muggers while enthusiastically singing her self-written theme song. The updated character design, snappy dialogue, and quirky characteristics make her a relatable heroine whom readers of all ages will root for. Also included is the 1991 classic Marvel Super-Heroes #8 comic, in which Squirrel Girl first appears. VERDICT A first-purchase for all graphic novel collections.—Marissa Lieberman, East Orange Public Library, NJ --This text refers to the paperback edition.

This comic kicks butts and eats nuts!

What can I say about the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl? Shes 50% squirrel, 100% girl going to college for software engineering. Shes got a "badonk" (her words, not mine), talks villians out of destroying planets, and kicks butts and eats nuts. Its hilarious, witty and all the background art is on point! Pay attention to every minute detail in this comic. The book itself is high quality, thick pages. My 4 year old hasnt managed to destroy it yet and hes always looking at this book. I should note, I purchased this electronic version, but loved this so much I had to purchase the paper copy!

This is a great comic book

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2017

This is a great comic book. It is so funny with interesting characters and fun plots. Doreen is just starting out in her life both as a superhero and a college student. She wants the normal college student life but there is no way that she is giving up being a superhero. So she has to learn how to manage and it is hilarious. She gets into fights with villains and wins because either is she outsmarts them or talks them out of whatever they were doing. I loved Doreen. She is so funny and she can think outside of the box. The best scene in this volume is when she is talking with Galactus about all the Five stars baddies she has beaten up. I cannot wait to read the next volume.

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this book from my local library.

some people don't like this type of humor

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2018

Spectacular!!! Be warned, some people don't like this type of humor, so you might check out some of Ryan North's other stuff first (I'd recommend reading a few Dinosaur Comics, easily googlable and free). Besides the offbeat humor, this comic has a lot of heart. Also, the illustration is amazing and perfectly meshes with / complements the playful tone of the writing.

So: buy this comic! Unless you hate the author's sense of humor (which you can easily discover for free using the internet).

This is, as I have written on other volumes, the best comic heroine ever created. She’s funny, sure, but she’s also smart. She looks like a real person instead of the idealized (for some value of “ideal”) cliche women in most comics.

The Super Power of Listening

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2022

Squirrel Girl or Furry Woodland Creature Lady (not!) is my new favorite Superhero and villain counselor. She, alias Doreen Green, will try to find out why the villain is doing what they're doing and see if she can't help them reach a solution. Of course the villains aren't always willing to share their pain or even know what it is they actually want beneath their overt desire which leads to criminal activity.
This is such a refreshing take for a Superhero. The comic is filled with humor, inventiveness and when necessary a good thwacking. It can be enjoyed by kids and adults alike.
I discovered Squirrel Girl at the library but had to buy the first issue since it was missing. Of course some ne'er do well took it. My suspicion falls on Deadpool.
Squirrel Girl is not the first squirrel superhero I've met. In the yard of my parent's secret lair, in a secret part of the pacific northwest in a secret country, (there are other countries beside the US that have a pacific northwest) is a black squirrel (grey squirrel with recessive black hair genes) named Hurl-Squirrel. When she finds garbage in the forest she picks it up and hurls it into someone's lawn so that it will get thrown away. Rubber tires are a challenge for Hurl-Squirrel so if you could dispose of them properly instead of dropping them in the woods, she would appreciate it.

Laugh Out Loud Adventure!

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2016

I've been watching Marvel's movies for years but I had yet to make the jump into actually reading their comics. Online I began to hear many fans clamoring for "Squirrel Girl" to someday enter the films. At first the thought of a super hero with "squirrel powers" seemed weird, but the more buzz I heard about this character the more I wanted to check it out.

Squirrel Girl Volume 1 lived up to my expectations in every way. It was a laugh out loud satire of the Marvel Universe. Squirrel Girl is a spunky, innocent , and fun character; and a tad naive about the real world. But it's clear she truly enjoys her super powers, no tragic back stories or Civil Wars here! :) She humorously takes down several Marvel Villains, perhaps the funniest being how she orders an army of squirrels to mob attack Whiplash.

The sight jokes are funny to, from a squirrel riding one of Iron Man's gloves into space, or a College club presentation with the "Social Justice" and "Social Injustice" clubs staring each other down. The commentary at the bottom of the pages is funny, and getting to see Superheroes using "Twitter" is hilarious.

I highly recommend this book!
