UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL #14

(W) Ryan North (A) Erica Henderson (CA) Erica Henderson

    • 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?

We'll find out how that works out for everyone! Rated T
