About the author

Hi, I'm Ryan! I was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in 1980 and since then have written several books. You can read my Wikipedia page for more, or check out my author site at RyanNorth.ca!

I'm the author of the webcomic Dinosaur Comics (that's the comic where the pictures don't change but the words do, it's better than it sounds and I've also done crazy things like turn Shakespeare into a choose-your-own-path adventure, write a comic for Marvel about a girl with all the powers of a squirrel, or mess up walking my dog so badly it made the news.

I'm working on more stuff as we speak, hopefully it's good

Amazing, as always, though the Doom story is growing long in the tooth. As much as Doom is an excellent villain, there is only so much of Squirrel Girl's version of Doom I can take. It's not a bad thing, it's just almost time for a new arc.

Read in The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Vol. 3: Squirrel, You Really Got Me Now.

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, aka Doreen Green, is a woman with the proportional speed and strength of a squirrel. In addition to her abilities to climb and jump, she's extra nimble and she can talk to squirrels. She uses these awesome abilities to fight crime with her squirrel sidekick, Tippy-Toe, and her roommate, Nancy.

A quirky superhero. Cartoonish and silly.

This series was rebooted. This is the rebooted #4 comic. Squirrel Girl and Doctor Doom battle in the 1960s.

Squirrel girl, trying to talk sense into Doom while being blasted? That is the hero I've always wanted.

But also oldladysquirrelgirl is THE CUTEST.

I love that Doreen's actual greatest power is her brain.

I love this comic.
As much as I love Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman and the whole "mature audiences" and themes movement in the comic industry, I love this comic. It is the only one I try not to miss.

It reminds me of the way comics were when in was a kid (late seventies / early eighties): full if wonder. Doreen Green is a caring, intelligent hero who is confident in herself (she can't help but point out she's "unbeatable"!).

I love North's well researched yet light touch storylines: he is clearly well versed in the comic cannon, yet always throws in a slight curveball as to how Doreen solves her problems (usually with help from her friends-- human AND squirrel).

I also love Henderson's artwork. I love the fact that this female protagonist is not doing some weird pose with her butt out and that she isn't sexualized. I think Henderson has done a great job of making Doreen squirrelish looking and girlish looking.

Waiting for the next issue of this title every month drives me nuts.
