The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #42

Fifty issues of nutty, time-bending heroics deserve a cover this bold — and Erica Henderson delivers, with a green-caped Squirrel Girl squaring off against a roaring, purple-helmeted Kang the Conqueror while a squirrel scurries below and a companion figure looms at the edge of the frame. The cover cheekily acknowledges the numbering is "technically #42 (it's complicated!)" while promising Kang vs. Squirrel Girl across three eras — which sounds exactly as gloriously chaotic as fans of this series have come to love. Ryan North, Derek Charm, Naomi Franquiz, and Rico Renzi join Henderson inside for what looks to be a milestone celebration with plenty of time-travelling trouble.
