Still one of my favorite covers:
Okay wtf. This is awesome. I hope they release a compendium so I can read it all in one sitting.The series has also given us one of the greatest comic covers ever (and a brilliant new take on an old villain).
OMG if they had made it a squirrel who saves the MCU, Marvel would've won at everything. Everything!
If you have Marvel Unlimited you can start right now. Or if you have a Library Card you can download Hoopla and you might be able to read them all for free right now.
Dude, I didn't know this. I know you and I are two of the biggest Squirrel Girl champions on the board, but I had no idea. That's incredible!
My sister-in-law's sister is a seamstress and I paid her a lot of money to make a homemade costume.
I adore this series and am very sad that Ryan's time is coming to an end on it.
It's one of those that I'm not only keeping because I love it, but because I want to gift it to my future daughter one day.
So much wisdom, heart and optimism within those pages. It will definitely be missed.

That'd have been amazing to see!
Imagine the YouTube red arrows and circles in the thumbnails!
Between this and Giant Days ending, my pull list is getting real slim.
I'm going to miss this book so much. Even the recap page would regularly make me laugh.

Yes! The recap pages are bloody hilarious. And I love how they are 'real' tweets you can look up on twitter.
Absolutely one of the best runs in marvel history. I really hope they keep a line open for North because he worked some real magic with Doreen here and I'd love to see him tackle someone else some day.
Update:
The final arc started this week and... good lord what a doozy of an issue.
I can't wait to see how it ends.

Mordek's back, has kidnapped Brain Drain and has basically outed Squirrel Girl's identity. To make matters worse, she has a massive assortment of villains at her disposal for one sole purpose: send Squirrel Girl six feet under once and for all.
I can't wait to see how it ends.
Been there since day one. Really sad it's coming to a close, but I'm glad they're doing it on their own terms.
Fantastic book.
Fantastic book.
The final issue comes out tomorrow:
Speculation spoilers:
My guess is that Galactus freezes time and for helping him become a better person, Doreen becomes a herald of Galactus, teleporting the bomb away and giving all the bad guys an epic beatdown.
That cover makes me so nostalgic. What a run.
Had taken a break after Henderson left but I am now slowly catching up on the Derek Charm issues. Loved the Kraven arc.

Is the guy above Chipmunk Hunk Iron Man? That's not his current facial hair in the book, but don't remember how Henderson drew him.
yep that's sitting in my bookshelf as well. I hope they throw that in the Omni as well.Don't forget the best issue:
Don't forget the best issue:
I don't know, man. As great as the OGN is, there are some single issues of the on-going that I think are better. That issue with Nancy and Doreen trapped in hypertime is obscenely good.
Without digging into the entire back story, what kind of powers did squirrel have to where she could kick everyone's arse.
The ending hits a lot of the same notes as the ending to Gwenpool and, to some extent, Mister Miracle with that Galactus conversation. Still a nice send-off to Marvel's best and most unique series in recent years.
And this is why I only read individual Marvel and DC comic runs. You will never get me invested in wider comics universes that, on the whole, adamantly refuse to permanently upend the status quo in any meaningful way.
They actually do kind of address his turn in this latest issue of Squirrel Girl in a really touching way.
Oh, I'm sure they do, cause they have an amazing writer. A good enough writer can make almost anything work. Doesn't disprove my statement though, cause I was talking about Marvel (and DC) on the whole.

I finally finished it and the ending was perfect. When you finally realize what Galactus is talking about it seriously made me emotional. Also - getting Erica to do a few pages was just perfect. End of an era for sure. I wonder what other property Ryan would write for Marvel? There was a picture of Doop in the background of this issue...
