Who doesn’t love a super-spy power couple? Or the idea that two damaged people can work past their darkness and have a healthy, relatively normal relationship? In the comics, Bucky credits Natasha with helping him find his humanity and we get…
A lot of people get into comics thanks to TV or movie adaptations, but it seems like some media are seen as more legitimate entry points than others. Oh, so you saw the Dark Knight and want to get in on some cool dark Bat comics? Sounds great. You got into comics because you saw the Captain America: The Winter Soldier and want to know more about Steve and Bucky how it happened in the comics? Ugh, you’re probably just a fangirl obsessed with Sebastian Stan. Even if the Brubaker/Epting Captain America stuff is genuinely good and awesome, people will judge you for starting there because somehow you’re doing it for the wrong reasons.
Our first issue is out today!! You can get Unbeatable Squirrel Girl at your local comic book store, you can download a digital copy RIGHT NOW, and/or you can get them in the mail! DID YOU KNOW: the more copies we sell (whether physical or digital), the better chance we have of getting to make this comic forever and ever??
And on the off chance you don’t want to risk getting this book without some non-me people telling you they think the book is PRETTY OKAY, I have some good news! Here’s a…
Expectations were pretty high for this first issue but THE UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL exceeds them. North, Henderson, and Renzi have put together something that appeals to both young and old that is an incredible amount of fun, featuring a great, stand-out star…
…fun is no longer such a terrible word.The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is a product of this shift, something steadfast and confident in its construction and delivery, an unapologetic take on the pyjama drama as a source of unfettered joy.
There are few “perfect issues” in a year of comics and yet here I am, first week of January writing about another one… There is not one missed or false note, it’s a totally cohesive vision. Everyone creating this book knows exactly what they want it to be and exactly how to get it there.
…one of the most fun debuts published by Marvel Comics in a very long time. If you’re looking for a comic that you can share with anyone or that will cheer you up after a major bummer of a day, this is it. At the end of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #1 there is only one question worth asking: When does #2 come out?
I hope you enjoy the book! Next month even crazier things happen. UNTIL THEN I PROPOSE WE ALL:
So with Winter Soldier out now, I know you’re all dying to read more about Bucky and Natasha, whether as a couple or individually! So, since I haven’t seen one of these with download links yet, I’ve put together a reading order + downloads.
This is a combination of solo stories and team-ups with each other. It isn’t every appearance of theirs together, but they’re the ones that I consider important. (If you have any suggestions, however, I’m totally up for editing.)
I tried to break it up by ROUGH chronology, both by keeping important events together because I really don’t like hopping from series to series, but also breaking them up after significant chunks to avoid getting worn out on one arc (hence the Deadly Origin between Cap v4 and Reborn).
(Note: Bucky joins the New Avengers around Secret Invasion. I wouldn’t consider it necessary reading, because it’s a team book and not individual, but I have his issues here. Issue 47 of NA comes out concurrently with issue 44 of Cap v5 I believe)
Bucky is currently in two ongoings (All-New Invaders and another run of Winter Soldier that I actually think might be a limited series) and Natasha is in one (Black Widow), which you should check out. I don’t have downloads for those, but they’re not very far, so you can probably grab them at the comic shop or on comixology.
As always, if you like the comics, buy them!
YOU ARE A GIFT OH MY GOD
