• Our friend Squirrel Girl doesn't like our new friend Girl Squirrel! In this issue we'll discover if this dislike is... POTENTIALLY JUSTIFIED??

• It did? Well guess what: she also fights Ratatoskr, the Norse God of squirrels!
• Also, Old Guy Thor is in this issue! As is New Lady Thor! We don't have Frog Thor, though.
