Pretty much. Squirrel Girl doesn't just beat her opponents she humiliates them. I expect the next panel to follow with her one-shotting him with a roundhouse before he can sucker punch her.

I don't even want to imagine how many times the Wolverine fanboys will bring up those first pages from now on.
For once I agree with Phil. facepalm
Superior strength... Whoops!
Is there are reason why Juggernaut is so threatening while Hulk, Thing, Titania and the Absorbing Man are no way near as scary as you've made him? An entire mutant nation is failing to take him down while the others are taken down by lesser forces?The Hulk and Titania are incredibly strong. The Absorbing Man - er - absorbs the properties of stuff. The Juggernaut is *unstoppable*.
The first three characters all are relative abilities. The last is an absolute.
That "unstoppable" ability enhanced even further, beyond the simple traditional definition into something that's really superhuman. He cannot be stopped. The Juggernaut seems to have been made rendered entirely, completely unstoppable.
And what do the heroes do then?
That's my in-world explanation anyway. In terms of my thinking for it, NOTHING CAN STOP THE JUGGERNAUT is the traditional Juggernaut story. It's one that hasn't been done for a long time, and I wanted to see if I could make it work in a really raw, angry, frightening way. It's an ACDC riff, basically. Also, I feel that my story is a note more of a horror story than a lot of the other Fear Itself stories (The Iron-Man tie-in issues would be an obvious exception). When I read Juggernaut stories as a kid, he was a character who was always scary when he appeared because of his ability being so absolute. I wanted to see if I could capture that and use it in a horror-styled way. Or - really - the close relative of the horror movie, the disaster movie.
Two more issues. Volume, turning up.
