The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #22

(The Story So Far: Doreen and Nancy are college students and best friends! Doreen is also a superhero! This is the beginning of a new arc, so no context is really needed to enjoy this one.)

First: that amazing, unusual watercolor cover art! Oh my god, it's gorgeous.

Second: the breakfast scene was adorable. I will take seven issues of Doreen and Nancy eating breakfast together in their PJs with gratuitous Doreen biceps because daaaayyum.

Third: everything about the Savage Land in this issue makes me laugh. I particularly loved Nancy being ignorant that it's a real thing and thinking that it was a Wikipedia hoax. LOL Nancy! I am wondering what happened to the people who live there? Kazar and Lorna's fake sister and Piotr's son Peter?? But all the Dinosaur Facts and the gift shop and ahhh.

Fourth: as a Doreen/Nancy shipper, not sure how I feel about Nancy engaging in an illicit romance with a Latverian computer programmer. On the one hand, okay, the rose petals and sniping are both top notch. On the other, I can't see it ending well! IDK! I look forward to finding out.

Fifth: OF COURSE everything is not what it seems and there is a mystery to be solved. I love this arc so much already and I can't wait for the next installment. <333
