Every issue of Unbeatable Squirrel Girl opens with a credits page that is also a look into Doreen Green’s social media life, as she chats with friends and fellow superheroes about her adventures. But those social media accounts don’t just exist in the pages of comics, but on actual Twitter too, and guys, they’re pretty dang good.
The Unbeatable Squirrel girl account itself is famously active as the comic’s social media presence, hyping up new issues while also offering an important voice on squirrel-related events of the day:

But what makes this whole thing even more adorable is that the other Twitter accounts that appear in the comic also totally exist in our otherwise-much-more-depressing-version of real life. Doreen’s best friend Nancy Whitehead has her own account, which is, naturally, mostly related to Cats, Thor, or the delightful combination of both, Cat-Thor. But even better is the fact that Tony Stark’s own Twitter—@StarkManTony—is real too, and mostly exists to interact with Squirrel Girl’s. Case in point, this scorching hot take Tony had today in Doreen’s mentions about… the Greek myth of Icarus.
@unbeatablesg Icarus, right? Kid and his dad invent wings from wax and feathers, kid flies to close to the sun, wings melt, the end.

@unbeatablesg Here's the thing about that. So Icarus and his dad invent AMAZING SUITS from SCRATCH while being held PRISONER –

@unbeatablesg (and idea which, for obvious reasons, really appeals to me on a fundamental level)

@unbeatablesg – and then one of them dies because he's TOO SUCCESSFUL at FLYING SUIT INVENTION, and that's supposed to teach us something?

@unbeatablesg I'll tell you what it teaches me. It teaches me that whoever is telling it never studied science.

@unbeatablesg There's a reason why Everest is snowy at the top instead of being covered in beach towels, sunglasses, and mojitos.

@unbeatablesg In flight range, air pressure goes down as you go up, and gases under less pressure are slower and colder. Hence, freezing.

@unbeatablesg In conclusion, it's a ridiculous myth, and in real life Icarus would've a) survived, and b) been lauded as a great engineer.

@unbeatablesg And I would've hired him.

Canonically speaking, Tony Stark is meant to be kind of sort of dead/in a coma/walking around as an AI in the Marvel comics-verse right now, but reader, this Twitter conversation even manages to address that.
