Reread, 6/15/21: YA Graphic Novels and Comics class, summer 2021, paired with another teen superhero/teen fantasy series opener, Ms. Marvel. Students liked it a lot.Update, 6/19/18: Once again, re-reading for my YA GN and Comics class with a focus on kick-ass girls. In this case, 4 of them, 12 years old, who are delivering papers in the Cleveland suburb of Stony Stream on All Saints Day (the day after Halloween) when revelers in costumes can still be seen roaming the streets. . . among actual al...
aren't all characters paper girls, in a way,i don't even know what i'm talking about anymore.
I needed something to take my mind off of the fact that I just finished watching all 9 seasons of The Office and Paper Girls did just that.It’s a compelling storyline with amazing artwork that had me right from the beginning.I was, however, confused a few times because the storyline moved a little too fast.And I wanted more of a backstory to the characters, mainly on Mackenzie “Mac” and her group. This graphic novel jumps right into the main plot line; monster demons invading earth on Halloween,...
LOOK AT THAT BEAUTY. SO PLEASING, SO PROMISING.But agh.Mr. Vaughan, I'm afraid you've set the bar way too high after Saga. While Paper Girls certainly stands out in the world of comics, with a vibrant spectacle of colours and rich atmosphere, it definitely isn't the best this man's got to offer.Other than lack of a smooth-running plot, this story's fallout lay in its dialogue for me. And by that I mean the fact that nearly 20% of it is either in a language we don't understand or some really bad
i don’t know if i understood a single thing i just read but it was pretty
Heh, I thought this novel was awesome! I felt like I fell down the rabbit hole on this one 😄It doesn't have a lot of great reviews but it was good enough for me. I loved all of the old school stuff, the graphics, Halloween night, crazy time travelers<--- or were they? Who knows at this point! Look forward to reading more. To be continued.... Mel ❤️
What the hell I’ve just read
LOVED the first issue (no surprise there, first issues are a Vaughan specialty), the late 80s setting, Chiang's clean and subtle artwork, Wilson's neon-drenched coloring, the lively, primarily female cast, the snappy yet realistic dialogue – loved it all so much I got a little dizzy early on. Then came the disfigured teenagers from the future, the dinosaurs, the weird language, the Apple dude - and I got a bit confused. Which was the idea, I guess. Not yet sure how it’ll all come together, hope
TW: homophobia (+ usage of word f****t), suicide attemptThis book was just so genius. The best way I can describe it is Saga meets Stranger Things. I loved the concept of a girl squad running around to solve the world's issues. I loved the sass, the artwork, the clothing and the vibe of the entire book. I love each girl in the group for their own reasons, and I didn't find myself thinking, "wait, who is this person?" like I usually do in graphic novels. As far as a feminist graphic novel, I enjo...
Actual Rating: 2.5 StarsSo... not amazing, unfortunately. In fact the only thing I super loved about this was the illustrations. It's a little difficult for me not to compare this to Vaughn's other ongoing series Saga, which had me hooked from the very first installment. This was was very okay.Vol. 1 could've benefitted from being a bit longer, providing a little more depth of plot and characterization. I was really feeling a young, diverse female cast on an 80's science fiction adventure. I was...
I loved Cliff Chiang's art and characters. The main characters are 4 paper girls who don't take crap from anyone. They all have individual personalities and likenesses. The book is set during the 80's and reminds me of E.T. or Goonies. People in town are starting to disappear and strange things start occurring. The story was somewhat confusing. I didn't know what was going on for a long while.Received an advance copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Small town America, 1988, and it’s the very early morning after Halloween. Four newspaper girls out delivering see black hooded figures skulking around the neighbourhood and discover a flying saucer in a basement. Then everyone disappears like it’s the goldurn Rapture and pterodactyls are appearing in the skies! Did someone say armour-wearing Rastafarians? And look - a flying ball of stuff that makes you relive your entire life! Makes sense to me! Wait, what’s going on again…? Brian K. Vaughan r...
