New Avengers 15

This issue is an introduction to the character Squirrel Girl as she was hired by Luke Cage and Jessica Jones to be their super powered nanny to take care of the baby. She does possess a long tail like a squirrel and acts like one too. She demonstrated her capabilities which includes a hand to hand combat test with Wolverine. Her extra super power is the ability to talk to squirrels and it comes in handy in the fight with Wolverine. Mostly the actions are centered on Squirrel Girl as the focus of story shifts to the fear event.


As the fear event is unfolding, she gets caught up in it too as she was in downtown when the nazi robots commanded by Sin started to attack the city. She managed to dodge the attacks by the robots and also taking down one of it. But the attacks are too overwhelming and she fled back to the avengers mansion where the avengers are just started to go into action to save the city. Luke Cage and Jessica Jones handed their baby to her and left. But the story ends in suspense as the avengers mansion is bombed after the avengers left.

The fine artwork from Deodato makes this book interesting in an otherwise dull storyline of a side character of the avengers that is injected into the fear event story line. Squirrel girl could be the next new member inducted into the avengers if she managed to hold off the nazi robots attacking the avengers mansion in the next issue.
