Welcome to Litsy!

A very perky girl with a squirrel tail and squirrel qualities saves the day from villainy.

It took me almost a quarter of the book to realize that this was a Marvel book and character.

I don't read comics or graphic novels very often so I'm not very well qualified to review them but I sure do love me some Squirrel Girl!

Not sure it's possible to read two graphic novels so different in tone back to back. Mood whiplash.
Much like Terry Pratchett, I love the asides/footnotes; that they can contain social commentary as well as funny randomness. This is the first comic volume I've read with this character and I'm really loving her. So light hearted while also being kind in message, and featuring good representation. #comicbooks #eveningreading #eveningread

Squirrel Girl is definitely my favorite superhero. I find her to be hilarious . Going back and seeing where she first appeared definitely put some things into perspective; she has changed so much since then.

Just starting this; looks like a lot of fun.

Love the little footnote asides (at the moment, about other Marvel heroes) which look like they were written by Squirrel Girl.

... and Deadpool's 'Guide to ...' cards (with his snarky asides)

... and the pages of 'text messages'

Interesting addition at the end, which looks like the original first ever Squirrel Girl story (though I'm not a fan of her depiction there)

This is a joint review for issues 7, 8, 9 & 10 of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. 🐿 I love this series! 3 ⭐️ for issue 7, 4⭐️ for the rest. I‘d highly recommend this series!

A fun romp with a silly but apparently more-competent-than-she-looks superhero. I enjoyed getting to know the character and seeing her try to start college, while continuously having to save the day. The characters were strong and the art style was fun.

Squirrel Girl is a welcome break from reality these days. Every time I read a few panels, I find myself outright giggling and always feel better after.

Digital books I read this month (part 1)

#wondrouswednesday Definitely a squirrel theme going on here!

Apologies for the sweariness from those naughty grey and red squirrels!

There is only one book that could possibly describe me.... 😁🐿

I think all my friends and family are too scared to ask to borrow books as they know they have to be returned in a pristine condition. These days I buy extra copies of books I‘ve enjoyed (often from charity shops) and gift them rather than lending.

So much fun! I love a female superhero who is quirky, nerdy and, to quote the artist;"...I like to draw heartier super ladies, if their powers are mostly physical, because I feel like I shouldn't be able to take down a super hero by sitting on her. " About time I meet a super lady who is something other than the standardized babe norm. Squirrel Girl is very loveable, and I need to read more.

Uhm, so I went to Splurge City and I, well, splurged ☺😁

Thank you @Lauredhel for your recommendations earlier!😍

Squirrel Girl gets it.

This book was a delightful surprise. I had thought for whatever reason that it would be too silly, but I purchased it anyway because I tend to enjoy North's sense of humor. It was the perfect amount of silliness! Filled with squirrel puns, absurd situations, and hilarious characters, each issue made me smile in a different way. The way that Squirrel Girl resolves all her major conflicts made me smile most though. I will pick up the next one soon!

This was a great cornucopia of Squirrel Girl comics! I loved reading every one of them including the newest ones at the end. Of course I'm dying to know what happens to Ratatoskr... guess I'll have to read the next volume to find out. And looooove the Deadpool cards!!! Spot on!

3 stars

From this issue‘s “Starring” descriptions. I like the juxtaposition of these two. This is my first time reading Squirrel Girl. Loving it so far.

Easter excitement

#currentlyreading I can‘t wait!!

Doreen reads to save the day! Well, and to help a ghost librarian! #charactersreading

This was cute and fun, though not super engaging. I'll read the next one to see if more of a story gets going, since the first volume is often a lot of setup. My other gripe is that the retro stuff at the end of a lot of these Marvel volumes doesn't really do a whole lot for me- the art style (especially for Squirrel Girl) is very off-putting. 3.5/5⭐

@kaye A book and a cat, lol ❤️ #mogwai #catsoflitsy How are you? I got my doctor to say “booger” today. It cracked me up. I‘m sooo passive aggressive I didn‘t laugh till my belly ached till I got home. Dry nose. Nasal spray prescribed, lol. She said it so matter of factly too, kinda like she was dumbing things down for me but in a serious way. I am going to read this book now, I promise. Thanks again for your support!! ❤️❤️❤️

Squirrel girl and friends escape a room, deal with the police, Spider-Man, and the possibility of redemption and it is delightful. Then, THEN, there‘s a wonderful dialogue-less stand-alone where a ghost librarian (think ghost busters) is actually pretty cool. And just wants a quiet reading room.

Why did I wait this long to read about the amazing and unbeatable Squirrel Girl is beyond me but this was great and funny read.
Plus the cameos were both adorkable and unexpected.

Well, I guess this is coming home with me! ❤🐿🥜

This weekend at ECCC I got to meet Ryan North and Erika Henderson, and have them sign some comics!! I also asked Ryan and the illustrators of Midas Flesh to sign my copy of Vol. 1. AND there was an adorable and amazing Squirrel Girl cosplayer there!!

Needless to say, it was a great day! 😆☺️

So my name is Helen, but the squirrelbrain thing takes a bit longer to explain. I suffered from debilitating panic attacks for years, although not any more (but I‘m still a worrier). Years ago a relative was telling us they‘d had pest control out as they had squirrels in their loft and my husband said that‘s what I had, squirrels skittering about in my loft (head!).
It became an ‘injoke‘ between us, he used to say things like...cont in comments

This was fun, but the art style was a bit too cartoon-y for my taste. But a good break when I was beginning to tire yesterday evening! #24in48

I definitely just turned in a paper about the pacing of Squirrel Girl. #homework #comics

Sitting in Urgent Care, I need someone who is unbeatable. With her chipper spirit and footnotes, I‘m already feeling cheered up.

Funny story: my grandma (who was wonderful but also kind-of a nut) had a bunch of irrational fears that she tried to instill in me. Top of the list? Sciurophobia. She warned me that squirrels would “jump at my throat & never let go.” Needless to say, I have no trouble imagining Squirrel Girl as fearsome & unbeatable. I was pleased to find that she‘s also funny, awkward, strong, fashionable, righteous (in all its definitions) & relatable. LOVED it!

“Obeying an unjust law is itself unjust.”

An apt quote for MLK Day.

(Also, please note the beyond funny “Purl Jam” poster. Oh, yeah. Squirrel Girl‘s roommate, Nancy Whitehead, is just as super-cool as Squirrel Girl herself. I appreciate the proliferation of strong women thus far.)

First five pages? Already in love. 💖🐿

“I‘m Doreen Green, completely regular college student.
“Who just happens to have a tail?”
“Nope! Who knows how to tuck her tail into her pants... and who just happens to appear to have a conspicuously large *and* conspicuously awesome butt.”

y‘all look what i found at my local indie for $12

My Christmas book..... just having a quiet moment before heading out for the tour round various relatives...
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all Littens! 🎄🎄

Playing a game of 'find my kid at the pool party' and reading Squirrel Girl at the same time! Maybe being in this pool will finally convince him to go out for the swim team!!

My husband gifted this to me on Amazon! Hooray, $2 sales!! 😄🐿

Issue 26 fanzine is amazing. Squirrel Girl and Libraries are my favorite superhero team up.

This was super adorable and awesome. It makes me wish I was Squirrel Girl!

What a delightful story so far. Makes me realize I'm kind of like Squirrel Girl without the cool powers🐿

I purchased this original piece of #LiteraryArt from the amazing Corinne Roberts this past weekend. She's one of my favorite artists and I have several of her prints hanging in my house, but I'm super stoked to add an original to my collection. Plus, who can resist Squirrel Girl and Tippytoes?

#GRCC #GraphicNovel

I know of Chip & Dale. Are there any well-known fictional squirrels? 😁 #LitsyHumor
