The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #6

Howard the Duck dominates the foreground of this lively 2016 cover, wide-eyed and open-beaked in apparent shock, while behind him a cork-board conspiracy wall connects photos of various Marvel characters — including a young woman, a masked figure, a white cat, and several others — with red string. A starburst badge announces "The 'Animal House' Crossover Starts Now!", promising a fun collision of Marvel's animal-adjacent heroes. With Ryan North writing, Chip Zdarsky contributing, Rico Renzi's vivid colors, and a cover by Erica Henderson and Joe Quinones, this issue wears its playful ambition right on its sleeve.
