The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl

This goes back to Squirrel Girl.

Because when I started writing The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, they told me the title of the book would be The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.

And I thought, that's a horrible title.

Because you're giving it away that you can't be beaten.

That's true.

That was coming out at the same time as The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.

Both those books were happening in the same place at the same time.

Which, hey.

Last night, there was a trade.

It's Erica Henderson, cartoonist of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl that we all love.

She did a Harley Quinn Poison Ivy series called The Life and Crimes of Harley and Ivy.

And it's six issues.

Ryan North has been under the comedy waterfall of comics for the last 23 years, honing his skill so that he could do things like...

Write the unbeatable Squirrel Girl, like, one of the best Marvel comics, Marvel comedy comics that ever existed, who turned Squirrel Girl from a Z-lister to, like, C, maybe even B-tier.

Like, she's in video games now.

He's been doing, he has won a pile of awards from Eisner's to Hugo's.

yeah it's always on in the house thank you very much

We are covering today the last bit of the Ryan North Erica Henderson Squirrel Girl comic books, the original graphic novel, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats Up the Marvel Universe.

We always said that we would come back to this when we missed Squirrel Girl.

And now with our own little nut about to become a tree, Larry Day coming into the world.

That was a very Aline joke you just made.

That was...

For those of you who don't know, this 160-page original graphic novel was initially meant to be a story arc in The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, but...

Through machinations at Marvel, they decided to release it as an original graphic novel and as a sort of pastiche of the very famous Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe that has since become a blank Kills the Marvel Universe franchise of books.

Dina from the pre-cons, 10,000.

Marvel Superheroes, though, the most popular commander, Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, 7,000.

From the commander pre-cons, Doctor Doom, 9,000.

So I think that Superheroes is a set that is doing kind of exactly what you said, where there's not one, like, super popular Y'shtola or Fire Lord Azula commander that everyone's building.
