The story was not super fleshed out. I didnt really have a reason to care about any of the characters. The art is not bad, it is just not my style. The coloring however, I really liked.

a great cover, cool title and a girl gang. how could tthis go wrong?well the art is stiff and misplaced and people move around and change looks or suddenly appear from one panel to the next, the writing is bad, the story cliched, overblown, rushed and full of holes.if you like the cover art and think it a good idea to buy this: don't.

Really exceptional work by the colorist, but art and writing both cringey.

Reading other reviews I get the impression that some people liked a single aspect of the book - the theme or the art or the story - but the rest of Curb Stomp's execution let it down. However, everything worked for me; the pulpy punk art, the Warriors style setting, the gang story, the DIY community themes, I really loved it. It isn't for everyone, but if you have an opportunity to give it a read I would!

This was okay. The art was a little odd with the strange coloring. The story can be described as The Warriors with a female gang as the main character. It was a little hard to follow at times, but I think that may have been due to the odd coloring used on the art. The story wasn't terribly original but it wasn't terrible. This was more average than anything else, but if the idea of a kick ass girl gang appeals to you check it out because that's a sparse genre.

I'm stuck between 3 and 4 stars on this but I think I'm gonna have to round down for a couple of reasons. The first is that while this is a great concept, it was definitely a little bit rushed and I would have loved to see a few more issues to really flesh things out. The second is that the artwork is ...sometimes not great. I like the style overall and it definitely has a vintage vibe that works well with the story, but sometimes the anatomy and facial expressions are just REALLY weird so that

Girl gang badassery, which I'm usually a big fan of, but this story felt rushed, packed full of so many plot twists and turns that as the reader I felt confused and pulled in so many different directions without the reward of any real resolutions. Loved the neon/psychedelically-colored illustrations.

This isn't just a story about a girl gang.This is a story about friendship.This is a story about sisterly love. This is a story about fighting back. This is a story about not backing down, but standing your ground. This is a story about not giving up and that this means getting hurt a lot of times. The art is just liked the story - rough, raw and reckless. This is not for the light hearted. This is full of blood, guts and gore. This is a desatuared colored version of a 70s blaxplotation and 80s

Girl gang badassery in neon and leather. Makes about as much sense as a 70s gang movie, but that's part of the charm.

Colorful and violent, a nice re-working of the basic concept behind the 70s movie, The Warriors. It needed a little more depth and tighter language; as it stands, it's a bit clumsy. However, the design of the five members of the Fever was phenom.

It sure SOUNDS like something I'd love but boy oh boy it's just not very good.

This book is trying way too hard. You get all these members of the girl gang tossed at you with a panel or two to introduce each. I don't know how I'm supposed to remember who is who let alone care about them with that little of an intro. And then suddenly there's violence everywhere. One of them curb stomps a rival gang member, I guess because she looses her temper? And then everything keeps escalating and everyone acts all tough, but who the hell cares. People get kidnapped and die and there a...

This book would have been great if there were any women involved in the storytelling. As it was, it just felt hollow - like the women had not been filled out at all. Also the art style was so jarring from the cover work, and characters were so inconsistently drawn throughout I was really disappointed. We could have had it all. One star for there being a decent concept, one star for execution.

Sucked. Cool concept, but the WORST execution.

I only read one issue (out of four) but it was enough to know that this wasn't for me. The colouring is quite fun (a lot of bright colours, mostly pinks, blues and yellows), but the lines and inks were incredibly stiff. The writing was awkward (at best) and the world-building was lacking: what is the deal with Old Beach exactly? and the gangs that populate it and its surrounding areas? Maybe this would've been revealed if I had stuck with it, but eh. I was so excited by the prospect of a women-c...

When oh when will I learn! Never judge a book by its cover. But what a gorgeous cover! I stumbled across this graphic novel in a Book Riot list and the concept sounded cool, the cover was stunning, so I sought a copy out.Imagine my surprise when the cover was drawn by someone else. And someone I need to pay attention to - Tula Lotay drew the heartbreaking Tara issue in WicDiv, and her work here was equally arresting, The Fever look fierce and badass and you want to know them better.Inside the bo...

punk girls defend their turf. got bored halfway through

I really dug the color palette in this comic, it was very nice to look out and it gave off a very 80's-90's vibe to it. The rest of the book was just fine in my opinion. The action scenes were also a little awkward cause in this style they didn't work (for me at least).

Meh. Trying to be a pulpy gang graphic novel, comes off with teen angst and useless violence. Not an amazing enough plot to keep me interested.

The story wasn't particularly bad, it was really mediocre all around. The artwork could have been better, the story could have been more interesting, and the characters could have been more likable. The colors were very vibrant and added a different element to the story. As a whole this story had a lot of potential, but it seemed to really fall flat for me. It's like the creative team had their hearts set on spotlighting the Street Gang culture with heavy Hardcore Punk elements, but in the end I...
