The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #33

Framed against a blazing doorway, Squirrel Girl's silhouette — bushy tail and all — looms dramatically over a pair of wide-open, snapping crocodilian jaws in the foreground, making for a genuinely striking piece of cover art from the creative team of North, Charm, and Renzi. The cover cheekily promises "the return of a semi-remembered fan-favorite villain from the '90s," which is exactly the kind of playful self-awareness that makes this series such a delight. Issue #33 captures everything that works about The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl — a winning mix of genuine tension and knowing humor, wrapped in a mood-lit composition that earns a second look.
