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?

Meanwhile, one of the most dangerous villains in all of history has targeted the Inhumans. Will Kang conquer New Attilan? Black Bolt's new nightspot, the Quiet Room, is a lot rowdier than it sounds - no wonder he's pulling in the big guns to put his house in order.
