I don't quite know how to rate this one, because it's so different from the first two volumes. I'm pretty sure this book marks the occasion of Lumberjanes being made from a limited run series to an ongoing, so changes have been made accordingly, and I'm not quite sure how I feel about all of them yet.The most notable thing of course is that the series has a new artist. Actually, two of them (plus several guest artists in the first issue collected here, which features all the girls telling ghost
It was somewhat with surprise that I found myself enjoying the first two Lumberjanes graphic novels, as it’s not a form I’m drawn to (ha-ha) normally. Unfortunately, the third novel stumbles in both artwork and story, and my love affair seems to be settling into a low flame. Originally conceived in terms of the arc completed in Volumes 1 and 2, Volume 3 had to reinvent itself, choosing to take us back to the individual girls. There wasn’t a great deal of character depth in the first two volumes,...
As adorable as these stories are, I'm not sure whether I want to continue on with the series. 🤔
My first experience reading a graphic novel has been Lumberjanes by Noelle Stevenson. My reviews of Vol. 1: Beware the Kitten Holy and Vol. 2: Friendship to the Max can be found here and here. The four chapters comprising the second volume--in which the Greek gods Artemis and Apollo visit Miss Quinzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's Camp for Girls Hardcore Lady Types and wreck havoc--was like an under roasted marshmellow slapped on a s'more by a hungry camper. Vol. 3: A Terrible Plan is...
The story is every bit as fun as volumes one and two, but the new artist was a bit of an adjustment. Molly and Mal are extra adorable when exploring their relationship.
While I'm still enjoying this graphic novel series, this volume still fell a tad flat for me. First of all, there is a change in art and graphic design and I really liked the original versions much better. Second, I don't know that the story flowed that well for me. Usually in graphic novels, since they are collections of single issues, each "chapter" flows into the other. I didn't get quite the feeling of cohesiveness on this one. That being said, I did enjoy the story line which centered aroun...
I need a dose of happiness ASAPPLEASE bring the old art style back. I didn’t sign up for this 😩
I really enjoyed this. Like REALLY enjoyed this. These books are just too cute. So first of all, Mal and Mol ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥Their relationship is so freaking adorable. I am so proud that Stevenson added a notable LGBT relationship in a book that is technically for "juveniles." Their relationship is just so sweet and normal -- this is the way to encourage intersectionality in kids books. Other authors should take note. So this volume has two main plots:1. Mal and Mol go on a date "picnic" and while on th...
This is volume #3 in the ongoing, hilariously weird Lumberjanes series and I have to say I was excited for this. I loved #1 and really enjoyed Vol. #2 but this one felt a little less cohesive to me. I think this comes in part from the fact that there are guest artists working on these issues and this means that we have disruption in the style, tone and flow of the book. The set up for the story within this is one of ghost stories and fun though which does lend itself to other art styles and shif...
The first eight issues of Lumberjanes worked really well because each issue had it's own self-contained story with little story elements that contributed to a larger story which came to a head later on, which is a good way for a mini-series to work, especially one longer than 4 or so issues.Now that the series has become an ongoing, it seems to have stalled with this third volume, which is disappointing.The first issue of the volume is a jam session between a few different artists as the 'Janes
Did the art style change in this or am i bugging?Story and characters are as good as ever!
Hmmmmmmm...This third volume didn't really draw me in as much as its predecessors. I wasn't too keen on the artwork - the guest artists hadn't drawn the characters in a flattering light and most of them all had the same features with different haircuts which was a bit bemusing. I really wish Noelle Stevenson had been the illustrator throughout because her covers are bloody wonderful! I also found this story to be much weaker than the others. Whilst the first chapter reads like any in the first t...
