Nick Ford Comic Reviews

Overall, this is another incredible entry and the only problem that was going on with the slightly too small flavor text seems to be corrected as well! So I have no choice but to give this a perfect 10.

This is hands down my favorite series of the year and I can't wait until it continues in October.

This issue does all it needs to do. It establishes Doreen's character very smoothly as a happy go-lucky but very serious crime fighter who takes her fight against injustice seriously. But she also knows how to have fun, talk to squirrels and keep her collection of Deadpool's Guide to Super Villains cards handy.

Once again, the ways that both the bank robbers and Whiplash are handled in their respective fights are nothing short of brilliant. Squirrel Girl makes use of all of her talents and uses the lightest bit of logic mixed in with a lot of humor and fun to make her strategies work. They are eccentric as they are compelling.

Squirrel Girl is a wonderful character and it's because of issues like this. It personifies why Squirrel Girl is so beloved among her small but dedicated and hopefully increasing following. She's just a mutant with squirrel powers who takes on these incredibly huge and powerful problems. She doesn't face them by brooding them to death or by devising ingenious plans that no one else could come up with.

Overall though this issue is very wildly funny and I haven't even mentioned the squirrel that even Squirrel Girl won't trust. It's a cute concept as is the one that comes before it involving Nancy and a zoo. But it feels wildly overpowered by the first part of the comic because it just works so well and hits all the right spots in the best of ways.

This series has so far been a crowning achievement for Marvel as far as I'm concerned.

So although I still really like this issue I'm not convinced it actually accomplished what it set out to do.

The plot isn't anything particularly impressive in terms of a story but it's interesting enough to keep me reading and curious. That's certainly something worth praising.

The story itself is still very enthralling and I'm looking forward to where it goes. Bellegarde or no, I'm ready for more Nowhere Men.

I will say, the final page confused me,. but this time it wasn't only in a "Who is that character?" way but also because the art just flat out didn't resonate with me. I don't know exactly what was going on in that page, and honestly I'm not sure if I want to.
