The continuing adventures of Squirrel Girl continue! Everything I loved about it before, I still love, and the sweet and fun tone is delightful and refreshing in a lot of grimdark surroundings. Excellent stories, even more excellent characters (although I thought that Chipmunk Hunk and Koi Boy (Boi?) were sadly neglected this time through) and just so much joyous fun from time-traveling start to "the great hunt" of the finish. Even beyond the stories themselves, the collection includes the little aside notes on the bottoms of the pages, the in-jokes between authors and artists, and the lovely letters from fans (real or imagined, but I think mostly real - judging by the cosplay pictures). All of that just adds a lovely layer of fun metafrosting to the nutty cake.
