View Full Version : Next Squirrel Girl appearance?
Just curios if the great and powerful Slott can tell us humble Squirrel Girl fans if there are any plans for her to pop-up in any comics anytime soon?
The main reason I ask is because all our favourite squirrel themed heroine needs is one more appearance to get her total number of appearances into double digits, so come on Dan, lets give SG her 10th comic appearance, or even better why not a mini or...dare I say it? (dare, dare!) an ONGOING! (Hey it could happen, theres a lot of supervillains she hasn't beaten yet)
So if there is anything you can tell us that would be great and I would be thankful indeed to hear,

I can only think of eight appearances: Marvel Super Heroes Special #8 (or whichever her first appearance was), GLA #1-4, GLX-Mas Special, Thing #8 and Cable & Deadpool #30. Where's this supposed ninth appearance?

The missing one from the list would be I (Heart) Marvel: Masked Intentions #1 (although is there a point listing one-shots as issue 1's?) it worrys me that I know this,

Why? She is a fun (if not extremely goofy) character. Hey, if Rocket Racoon rated his own mini-series, the least then can do is give her a mini-series. I don't think that I could justify an on-going though...

The first time I ever heard of her was from that 198 book so it boggled my mind that there was a Squirrel Girl in the first place and of all the mutants to keep their powers, she was one of them.
Never read a book with her in it, but now I'm curious.
Was Rocket Racoon in the regular MU?

Yes, he was.
Rocket Racoon's Appearences:
I got this list from The Marvel Chronology Project www.chronologyproject.com
Hulk (Volume 2) #271
Rocket Racoon 1-4
Quasar #15
Sensational She-Hulk 44-46

Squirrel Girl I can live with... but that's just wrong. Like seeing Howard the Duck in the regular MU. So Spidey Ham. Good in their own separate worlds, but combined is just... wrong.
IMHO
Reading the wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Raccoon), wasn't he killed?

Like thats ever stopped anyone before (It's my pet theory that Charles Xavier funded the X-Men off the life insurance money he kept getting off the various members, heck Jean Grey in that respect is the gift that keeps on giving)
Squirrel Girl works in my eyes because I always viewed her as being a very competent hero who people keep making the mistake of underestimating due to the goofy premise of her powers, it also helps that she's a very likeable character (not to mention cute as a button)
And wasn't Howard the Duck was always part of the regular marvel universe?
Hmm, Howard the Duck, Squirrel Girl, and Rocket Raccoon, now that is a Team-Up that should have been.

I intended to mention Howard the Duck again... I always thought he was in a separate MU, too. The cartoon animals in their own worlds work, but mixing it in with the almost realistic makes it all seem fake.
Howard the Duck, Spidey-Ham, and Rocket Raccoon... there you go. At least Squirrel Girl is a human character.

Nope. Howard has ALWAYS been a Marvel U. character.
He first appeared in ADVENTURE INTO FEAR #19, and later in MAN-THING #1-- he has since had numerous appearances with Spidey, She-Hulk, the Defenders, and countless others.
To me, the beauty of the Marvel U is that it CAN have characters like Howard running around-- doing this-or-that in one corner. While the Punisher is having serious crime genre stories in another corner, Adam Warlock is having epic cosmic stories in another, and so on and so on.
That's how the Marvel U works. And you acknowledge what you want and/or need to when you have to. For example: when Daredevil goes to Japan, he might have a dark & gritty adventure, complete with the Yakuza, ninjas, and serious moral and ethical dilemas. However, if Iron Man goes to Japan, he might fight a high-flying armored samauri-- or a giant robot or Godzilla-type monster. Is it the same Marvel U version of Japan? Yeah. It's just that each book brings its own flavor wherever it goes.
Norse Gods, talking animal men on Mount Wundagore, time travel, the Kingpin of crime, a hidden land where dinosaurs still exist, a living cartoon who can pull anything out of his pockets, a master of the mystic arts, a living legend from WW2 who was thawed out of ice, a martial artist that can make his fist unto a thing of iron, a dimensional gateway guarded by a swamp monster, a sexy female supervillain dressed up like the White Rabbit from ALICE IN WONDERLAND...
ANYTHING is possible in the Marvel U. That's why it's so cool. :)

And even for a short period of time a member of the Teaching faculty at Xaviers in the pages of Generation X, which made that book twice as good as it should have been.
Do I remember a scene where he got drunk with Gateway?
Does Howard need to register for the SRA? Does he have American citizenship? How can he run for President without American Citizenship?

We already know whose side she's on in Civil War--she, along with the rest of the GLC are pro-Reg. So far they've stayed out of the Civil War directly though, so far as we've seen.
I do hope that someone deals with the Squirrel Girl/Speedball relationship and how the events of Civil War and Front Line have impacted it. If Jenkins doesn't touch on it in Front Line, hopefully Dan can bring it up in SHE-HULK at some point. After all, Jen is Speedball's lawyer, so this would be a logical book for that to be addressed in.

Maybe she can sue the U.S. Government for wrongful death if Speedball dies of his injuries...

I get the feeling that the GLC are only registering because it's some kind of official recognition of their superhero status. They see it more as a plaque to hang on the wall than as a stance on any particularly important issue.
And yes, Dan definitely needs to write a Squirrelgirl/Speedball story, even if it is posthumous in Speedball's case.

I think the G.L.A. are just sitting around waiting to be called into battle. (I figure there was originally a GLA split over the registration issue, with Flatman leading the pro-reg side and Big Bertha leading the anti-reg side; Squirrel Girl told them to settle the matter over poker; Flatman cheated and won and that's why the GLA is pro-reg. An inter-GLA war is just sitting there waiting to be blown open... but that only happens if the sole witness, Tippy-Toe, ever learns to talk to anyone other than the reader and Squirrel Girl, who doesn't really care about all this nonsense and would rather everyone just get along.)

Yeah until things really get going with the Lakers, I am not sure they would STAY on the pro-reg side. The tides, they turn in this war.

If I recall correctly it was a slight jab at Disney threatening legal action with Howard bearing a resemblance to a certain well-known character of theirs, so for a large part of the series he winds up in the body of something that would in no way infringe on disney's characters...yeah right (although he was a more 'realistic' looking mouse than theirs)
