We start off our awkward “Turns Out It Was Good” arc with “Unbeatable Squirrel Girl: Squirrel Power” by Ryan North. Doreen Green is moving to a new city to pursue a college degree in computer science while keeping up her superhero antics as Squirrel Girl, taking on everybody from Kraven to Galactus. We talk about the comic’s quirky tone, the stylistic art choice, and the book’s approachability. Plus, you know we can’t avoid talking about that unfortunate numbering.

Our Best of 2016 megaseries concludes with “Monstress: Awakening” by Marjorie Liu. In this genre-shifting fantasy comic, Maika Halfwolf’s journey for meaning brings her face to face with ancients, gods, and atrocities. We talk about this comic’s take on the fantasy genre, the gorgeously detailed art, and the relationship between Maika and the god inside her. Also, there’s a lot of cleavage. Up top, we talk about the Power Rangers movie! The comic book talk starts around 6:10.
