What Hacker News says
- The writer of the comic in the article, Ryan North, also wrote The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl which is full of nerdy computer science puns. And many science-based solutions to problems our heroes encounter.
I highly recommend this series. You can read it on Marvel Unlimited, which has a free trial. I suggest reading on a tablet.
- Unbeatable Squirrel Girl by Ryan North (Dinosaur Comics) has a few panels about this recently:
- My daughter is seven, and she comes with me to the comic book shop several times a month. She has 2-3 comics a week on her pull list -- Scooby Doo, Scooby Doo Team-Up, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Tiny Titans (until it goes back on hiatus again), My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic. We just got into an arguement the other day -- I am NOT buying two copies of Unbeatable Squirrel-Girl a month, she can just borrow mine. Get yourself a copy of the Diamond catalog (it's right there in the store, or you can normally find the solicits on the publisher's websites -- look for Boom and IDW especially, in addition to the Big Two), find stuff your daughter might like, and tell the store to order it for you. Or go to a different comic book store, if they won't. I've been going to the same comic book shop for years now, even though there's five shops closer (I drive by at least one comic book shop on the way to my regular shop), because they'll order what I want, and they even let me know when there's things they think she might want to read.
