Marvel announcing another ongoing series starring a mutant superhero is nothing new. But their latest announcement doesn't involve an A-Lister like Storm or Cyclops. Instead, it's Squirrel Girl who will soon be starring in her own ongoing series. Today via Entertainment Weekly , Marvel revealed a new book called The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.

Almost as interesting as the heroine herself is the creative team picked for this project. The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl will be written by Ryan North (writer of Boom!'s Adventure Time comic) and drawn by Erica Henderson (Quantum and Woody). That team and the title offer a pretty good indicator of what direction Marvel is pursuing with this book.The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl will follow the misadventures of Doreen Green as she leaves her current gig as Luke Cage and Jessica Jones' nanny to go to college. In between attending classes and making friends, Doreen will have to suit up and use her squirrelly powers to defend the planet from all manner of threats. The "unbeatable" adjective suggests that North and Henderson will be playing up Squirrel Girl's talent for defeating the most formidable of villains. In the past, Squirrel Girl has managed to singlehandedly defeat villains like Doctor Doom and Thanos.The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #1 will debut in January 2015. We expect Marvel will reveal more about the new series this weekend at NYCC.
