OMG. she never got her thread rebooted before now?!
Anyway, I love Squirrel Girl, one of my must reads every month.
Let's see, all the Marvel Comics I get (after decades of following Marvel, these are what I'm left with...): West Coast Avengers...uh, nope, gone. Dr. Strange, [Immortal] Hulk, (both from possibly misplaced nostalgia), Captain Marvel (although, she's...changed...from her recent initial series), annnnd...Squirrel Girl, because it's wonderful: fun, fantastic, funny, clever, intelligent, quirky, looks (looked) unlike every other Marvel comic, and by gum, Doreen Green TALKS her opposition down more often that beating them down. Jeez, how incredibly refreshing! And I sure as hell appreciate it.

We've talked about this in the past, but the book is a wonderful combination of silly and inspirational. It backs the right action without being preachy. It also laughs WITH many of the long-time comic book tropes that we all realize exist. And the jokes are there for long-time fans as well.
"I say thee hek nay" was worth the entire cost of the current issue.
I really love Squirrel Girl. I have recently ordered the volume 9 TPB. I am really happy that her series has been lasting this long!
