Nancy comes across a time-displaced Doctor Doom -- still smarting from his defeat by Squirrel Girl during her first super-mission! They travel back to the 1960s where Doom decides to take over the world long before Marvel's superheroes have a chance to experience their various origins!
All seems bleak when two final time-travelers arrive from the future (AKA our present): Old Lady Squirrel Girl and Cody (AKA the guy who sent everyone back in time in the first place!!).
I laughed quite a bit when I discovered the reason that Cody sent Squirrel Girl and the other ESU students back in time: He was trying to affect the curve in his favor for his "Intro to Databases" course, so used his time-travel gun (which he mysteriously inherited from his weird aunt) to get rid of his class' better students!
Meanwhile, it was pretty awesome to watch Squirrel Girl and Old Lady Squirrel Girl fight the good fight against Doctor Doom -- even if their efforts weren't quite getting there!
But Old Lady Squirrel Girl's appearance from the future was enough to give our Doreen an idea about how to defeat Doom once and for all. Here's a huge clue!!
By the end of this story, Doom is defeated and everyone is back to where they began -- except one cool individual who would be so awesome to see again! I guess we'll just have to wait and see!
