Marvel; $3.99
Armed with a dangerous swarm of mosquitoes, Melissa Morbeck is set on taking over the city alongside her various animal companions. Plus, she’s doing everything she can to blame it all on Squirrel Girl and position herself as the hero. But thanks to some quick thinking by Doreen’s non-powered pals, Melissa’s ability to control the animals gets severed, allowing for Squirrel Girl to once again save the day.
This has been a pretty interesting and entertaining arc for The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, though I doubt it’s the last we’ll see of Melissa. With balanced humor, drama and action, this series continues to be a worthwhile pickup for Marvel fans looking for something fresh.
