Part one of Animal House, a crossover with Howard The Duck! • Squirrel Girl and Howard will team up against an enemy that neither Squirrel Girl (who has defeated Galactus) or Howard the Duck (who has defeated... uh... well, listen, I'm sure he's got other qualities) could take down on their own! • Will they fight over a trivial misunderstanding? Will they band together against a common enemy? Will Squirrel Girl say duck! to mean lower your head but Howard will misinterpret it as a call for his attention, leading him to get hit on the head by something? • At least one of those three questions will be answered with a yes in this issue! • Concluded next month in Howard The Duck #6!
a) This special issue, called Be The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, puts YOU in control of the most powerful character in the Marvel Universe. Will you fight crime and save the day? Or will you be a complete jerk and use her powers to tell everyone off? b) I'm serious: these are actual choices, and you have to make them right now? To be Squirrel Girl and fight crime, turn to c). To be Squirrel Girl and be a jerk instead, turn to e).c) Well, you're in luck vis-a-vis crime-fighting, because Squirrel Girl is going to be facing off against Swarm, a bad guy made out of bees! And that's not all. To learn more about the other bad guys she can face, turn to d)! But if instead you'd like to stop reading this and get excited about this book and maybe order it, please: feel free! d) Nice try, but we've got to keep some surprises for the book! You decide to definitely buy this comic and see who they are. The end. e) What? No, why would you even want to be a jerk? Geez, man, maybe this isn't the comic for you. Turn to b) and answer better this time!
• It's the classic tale of good (squirrel) versus evil (squirrel) as SQUIRREL GIRL fights RATATOSKR, the Norse Squirrel God! The fate of the world hangs in the balance! • And yes, "Norse Squirrel God" means that Thor shows up to help! AND Loki! • Loki's a huge character! He's been in THREE different movies so far. Three! • He's only in our comic for a couple of pages though • Oh! This book also features FRIENDSHIP and SASS and PUNCHES!!
New story starts now! • In this story, Squirrel Girl faces off against a giant monster, and a gross old man, and goes on some dates! • So that's three challenges right there • Whether you're a fan of seeing a squirrel lady punch someone OR a fan of seeing a squirrel lady struggle to make an online dating profile that isn't weird and embarrassing, this is an excellent comic for you to purchase! • Everyone is one of those two types of people -- search your heart and you will find it is true • Oh P.S., the story is called I Kissed A Squirrel And I Liked It -- how amazing is that? • Answer: very
• The comic that got two #1s in its first year now reaches a new milestone: its very first #9! • In Part 2 of I Kissed A Squirrel And I Liked It, Squirrel Girl's date with a chump gets interrupted by Mole Man, who is a man who lives underground and can't see that well! Hence the name!! • Squirrel Girl is really good at empathizing with bad guys and talking them down, but what happens when she's too good at that? • Buy this comic to find out, because we show exactly that taking place! Spoiler alert: there's punches and jokes. • Not a dream! Not an imaginary story! ONE the following three things will actually occur in this issue! 1) A pleasant visit to a coffee shop with friends; 2) A man with fishy powers suggests using fish to solve a problem, big surprise; 3) Squirrel Girl uses her tail to knock the smirk right off a dude's face!! • Haha whoa I hope it's the third one
• Mole Man has fallen in love with Squirrel Girl, and he's holding the world hostage until she goes on a date with him! • Mole Men, am I right?? • Watch as Squirrel Girl gains the help of an unlikely ally! Thrill as two people kiss! But which two?? • You'll have to buy the issue to find out, so all I'll say right now is this: • In this issue there is a non-zero chance for every Marvel ship to become canon!! • Ship is short for relationship, in case you thought I was talking about, like, Galactus' Star Sphere or Mr. Fantastic's Fantasticship or whatever. • Anyway, enjoy!!
This special one-off issue promises two amazing things: super heroics and computer science. Yes! By the end of this issue, you will know both how Squirrel Girl can take down Count Nefaria and also a few really fundamental concepts in computer science! Have we found a way to express CS concepts through the medium of super hero fights? You'll have to order the issue to find out! But yeah, we totally did. Featuring all the greatest Squirrel Girl tropes you love! Including fights, jokes and cold, hard logic.
• Everyone gets a week-long break from class, and Squirrel Girl is taking Nancy to visit her parents up in Canada! What could possibly go wrong, right? • Turns out, nothing! It's a great trip and nothing of note happens and our comic is actually extremely dull. Sorry everyone. • No, just kidding! Our comic is actually super awesome and things get real crazy real quick once a certain super-powered villain nobody has heard of for over a decade reappears! • That's right! This comic features mysteries and Canadians and camping, not to mention our already super-enticing focus on squirrel powers! • Let's see Howard the Duck promise you that.
Someone is taking over the continental United States, but Squirrel Girl is stuck in boring ol' Canada! Uh-oh. Canada's not actually that boring, though: Did you know we have the world's longest covered bridge, in Hartland, New Brunswick? It's true! I've seen it! It's pretty long, I guess. Anyway enough about Canada, we're here to find out why you should buy this comic! Reasons include: fights, teamwork, continental USA domination and a special guest star who you'll find a tiny bit familiar? Everyone is at least a little bit into this guy and I can't imagine you not being excited to discover who it is! Anyway, yeah, it's Ant-Man.
• Squirrel Girl and Ant-Man! It's the team-up you probably never thought you'd see! • Although, if you thought about it for a bit, you probably would expect to see it at some point, since they both hang out with tiny animals and are both super heroes. • Honestly, I'm a little surprised it hasn't happened sooner. • Anyway, besides squirrels (adorable) and ants (so tiny, so bitey), this issue also includes wrestling and philosophy. Yes. Finally, am I right?? • I am prepared to say this is the #1 best comic you can buy that features squirrels, ants, wrestling and philosophy!! • I am also prepared to say that this is the only comic you can buy that features these four things, but heck, we all have to be the change we want to see in the world, right?
• When the Taskmaster comes to town - and brings with him his ability to duplicate anyone's sweet moves - who stands between him and total domination? • See, I can tell you're glancing at the title of this comic and whispering Well, it's probably Squirrel Girl, but guess what? This time it's actually Nancy's cat Mew, who has no powers whatsoever! • Thrill as Mew loafs around the house! gasp as Mew chases a mouse and then has a nap! boggle as you wonder how we possibly managed to pitch an issue entirely from the cat's point of view to Marvel, a multinational corporation with a lot invested in our comic continuing to star a squirrel and/or girl! • They knew the risks when they let Hawkeye have that Pizza Dog issue though, so this was clearly inevitable. • Mew issue, bring your tissues!
• Remember last issue, when we went to the Savage Land, the nature preserve full of dinosaurs? • Guess what? We're still in the amazing Savage Land, and there're even more dinosaurs! • Will Squirrel Girl fight a dinosaur? Will Squirrel Girl fight two dinosaurs? Will we come up with really excellent reasons why these fights would take place, reasons that both justify the fights while also telling the story of what led to this dinosaur-punching smashup: a story which, even though it stars dinosaurs and Squirrel Girls, contains within it the chance for us to recognize, perhaps for the first time, our most personal and secret selves?? • Of course we will; that's literally our job. • This issue also features jokes and a super villain who's causing major problems, so it's the complete package, really.
Squirrel Girl, Nancy and Tippy are trapped in the Savage Land! Good thing there're only regular dinosaurs there and not, for example, a giant metal killer-dinosaur version of Ultron instead!! Sorry, I'm just getting word that there is, in fact, a giant metal killer-dinosaur version of Ultron here, and Squirrel Girl needs to stop him before he takes over the world - a task that has regularly bested many other super heroes, including the Avengers themselves! But don't worry, because Squirrel Girl is not alone: She's got Nancy (a regular human with no powers) and Tippy (a regular squirrel with no powers) on her side to help her out against the rage of Ultron! And it's not just any Ultron, but a new and improved Ultron with an extremely dangerous (and, we must admit, extremely awesome) Tyrannosaurus rex bod! Oh, also Kraven the Hunter is in this issue too, so if you love dinosaurs, robots AND men in lion vests, boy howdy have we got a comic book for you!
• This is it! The climactic showdown between Squirrel Girl, a woman who can talk to squirrels, and Ultron himself, a killer robot who has ruthlessly defeated the Avengers on multiple occasions! • And you may be thinking, Holy crap I'm sold, but let me tell you more: This entire battle takes place in the Savage Land, an area filled with dinosaurs! • And now you may be thinking, I'm so sold, good grief, just let me read this comic already, but hold on some more, because there's one more thing we need to tell you: Ultron is a tyrannosaurus rex now. • It's Doreen Green versus Dinosaur Robot Ultron, and Kraven the Hunter is there, too! • Kraven is not a dinosaur, though. • Man, we really should've made Kraven a dinosaur, too! • Lesson learned for next time, I guess!
• In this special standalone issue, Squirrel Girl has convinced, cajoled, and otherwise induced her friends in the Marvel Universe to make comics of their own! For the very first time, find out what kind of comics your favorite Marvel characters would really make! • Will Tony Stark write author-insert coffee-shop alternate-reality comics where everyone talks up how great he is? It seems likely, and yet, he has given us something even crazier to publish! • Featuring tons of special guest artists, including a legendary comic strip artist making his Marvel debut! • This unique view of both Squirrel Girl and the Marvel Universe is sure to make readers laugh, turn the page, read a bit, see a new joke, and then laugh again! It may also make readers say, Oh my gosh you've gotta read this comic; I'm so glad I purchased it at my local comic-book store and will definitely patronize them again in the near future!! • No other comic is making this explicit promise this month, so in our opinion you should definitely order our talking squirrel comic book.
NEW SERIES. NEW AVENGER (!). STILL EATS NUTS AND KICKS BUTTS! Galactus. Thanos. M.O.D.O.K. with her unique combination of wit, empathy, and totally kick-butt squirrel powers, Doreen Green -- aka The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl -- has taken ALL these chumps down! Alongside her friends Tippy-Toe (a squirrel) and Nancy (a regular human with no powers whatsoever -- they checked), Squirrel Girl is all that stands between the Earth and total destruction! Sometimes. Other times there's no threats and she's just a regular computer science student. That's an adventure too though!
• Time is running out, and the only way for Squirrel Girl to stop Galactus is to get to the moon... you know, somehow?? • See the unveiling of Squirrel Girl's new Flying Squirrel Suit... that she maaaaybe borrowed from Iron Man. • Also, the final face-off with Galactus! ON THE MOON.
The Forbidden Pla-Nut part 1.What happens when we take Squirrel Girl back to her roots? Well, we shoot her into space, obviously. Nancy and Tippy find themselves on an alien world where all is not what it seems. Squirrel Girl needs to find a way to get to the other side of the universe to save 'em, stat. Intergalactic transport through the cosmic realm? This sounds like a job for the Sorcerer Supreme! I'm sure Doctor Strange will be happy to he - I'm sorry, what's that? Doctor Strange is gone and now LOKI is Earth's Sorcerer Supreme? Oh. Well, I'm sure he'll do his best. After all, what could possibly go wrong? Guess what, in this issue, everything possible goes wrong! Plus: Includes 3 bonus Marvel Primer Pages!
The Forbidden Pla-Nut part 2. • Nancy (human, no powers) and Tippy-Toe (squirrel, no powers) have been kidnapped! Trapped on an alien world filled with alien squirrels, they have only a short amount of time to figure out something - anything - before everybody dies. • But that's okay, because Squirrel Girl will rescue them, right? I'd love to say, Yes, absolutely, but instead I am forced to say, No way, she's trapped on Earth, she barely knows where they are, and she has to defeat The Dread Dormammu before she can go anywhere! • And with Loki standing in as Sorcerer Supreme, it's not like this battle is going to be A) easy or B) at all winnable. • That's right: Loki's back, baby! Can Cat Thor be far behind?
• It's the climax (in space!) of our story as Squirrel Girl (in space!) faces off against an alien armada (in space; yes, this is also in space; the whole story is in space!).• Not just her life hangs in the balance, but also the lives of Tippy, Nancy, Loki, Drax, the Silver Surfer and an entire planet full of squirrels, so if you believe that stakes can be raised simply by adding more characters into the mix, good news: you are in luck! • Will Squirrel Girl survive? Will the alien grifters be brought to justice? Will we see more of Horse Thor, The Thor Who Is Actually A Horse And Who May Have Been Invented Solely For This Solicit Text But Maybe Not? • Only time, and this comic in particular, will tell!
• Have you been doodling I wish they'd do an issue where Squirrel Girl got a new super-power, and Nancy Whitehead also got a super-power in your diary? We have some good, incredibly specific-to-you news: That is happening! • In this special stand-alone issue, when Doreen and Nancy are blasted into hypertime, they're moving so fast as to be invisible to everyone. So of course they decide to fight crime at super speed! • But are there downsides to moving really fast? (Yes, there are.) • Can anyone in regular time get them back? (Nope.) • Will they be trapped there... forever?? • We're not answering that last question because you'll have to buy the issue to find out!
