I'm still doing my best to keep up with what's going on with this story, but it's better than the last volume. They give a little information up. It's still a ton, I mean so much that we have no clue about what is happening. It would see that time travel and cloning are part of the story. When one time jumps, it seems that any tiny bugs like lice or something grow huge and become like invading monsters. Erin meets her future self in this one and things get complicated.I'm very engaged in the sto...
PAPER GIRLS is still RADICAL, and yet more amusing and funny than Saga, in my humble opinion. And Saga is awesome. But later on it gets pretty serious and the fun and jokes are in short supply. It could be the spunky teenage girls schtick that helps. Don't care. Because it works. So Volume 1 ended with the time traveling spaceship sending Mac and Tiff and Erin into the future and running into Future Erin. KJ is missing. And the "Old Timers" are in hot pursuit. Buckle up, cuz it's gonna get weird...
So I mentioned in my review of the original Paper Girls that I had actually read this one first, which might explain why I enjoyed volume one so much, while a lot of my friends were so bewildered that they were on the fence about it. I also think it says something for this volume that I was able to read and enjoy it without being so confused that I couldn't understand it, and liking it so much that it probably made me more enthusiastic than I would have been about the first one. So at the end of...
oooh, goodreads choice awards semifinalist for best graphic novel! what will happen? a review for erica, who neeeeeds it! so, volume two of this series is even more convoluted and frantic than the first. but i'm more confident now that it knows where it’s going, and i just need to be patient and grab on and eventually it will take me where i want to go. if you are the kind of person who prefers to go into a series completely blind, you might wanna go make a macrame owl or something instea...
I LOVED this so much I love all the characters and the plot really picks up in this one and yes it's still weird and creepy but that's what makes it unique. Totally recommend
I'm loving these books and girls!!! Mel ❤️
2 volumes in and they still haven't explained anything and just keep throwing weird things at us in the hopes we won't notice? I'm unimpressed.
2020 re-read:Ah, that was fun. Again. Just what I needed today.********2018 review:After the entertaining but slightly confusing first volume Vaughan now shows that he actually knows what he’s doing. Things get a little clearer now and easier to follow. While at the same time it also gets a lot more complicated. Because, time travel, baby.After the events of 1988 All Saints‘ the girls wind up in 2016.And things get worse. Because KJ is missing. But they have a new crew member in Future (Present?...
if u like stranger things you'll definitely enjoy this graphic novel~
“The world is a terrifying place, more than I ever realized. But if I had my whole life to do over again, that's literally the only thing I'd change. I'd stop being so afraid of other people.”Well...I'm still not super impressed. I think Paper Girls lacks in world-building and a clear plotline. It will probably all make sense at some point but for now, I'm neither convinced nor intrigued. In comparison to Saga, Vol. 1, another Vaughan creation, Paper Girls appears somewhat bland. I think the sto...
And just like that you're in a Brian K Vaughan jam... 'cos that's what volume 2 feels like, after the scene setting, an slightly confusing volume one, we get much more meat in this volume, as we get more details of this reality and some of its constants, yay! I needed some good ol' pseudo science to really enjoy this sort of series and finally I got some - and theirs a few huge surprises - kaboom!OK, so for this actual volume, I still struggled to 'read' the art and needed text to let me know ex...
1.) Paper Girls Volume 1 ★★★.52.) Paper Girls Volume 2 ★★★★3.) Paper Girls Volume 3 ★★★★--------------------------------------------------i'm still EXTREMELY confused but i'm kind of loving this series???
4ish stars.Three or four questions answered from volume 1, approximately eleventeen more added or left unanswered, give or take. But... I like it? Art good. Colors ooh pretty. Girls cool.Posted in Mr. Philip's Library
What is Past is Epilogue"When are we?"Well, I know even less what is going on than I did at the end of the first volume. But sometimes when you are on a rollercoaster going over the crest of that hill you just put your hands in the air and go with it. This is something like ET with badass girls and pterodactyls and iPhones and smart cars and esperanto. It began in 1988 in Cleveland with four "papergirls" (instead of paperboys!), but we are now in 2016. And in one thread, somewhere much farther i...
4.5 starsThis continues to be very strange but very enjoyable! I find that when I read time travel books I get reeeeally disoriented because I hate how many loopholes arise and all the scientific timey wimey stuff just loses me really fast, but this managed to keep my interest most of the time, and I understanded most of it! The art continues to be wonderful and I love Erin as a main character. (She has anxiety!! Yes!!!!) There were still a lot of really cool references and I wanted to crey when...
It had been a little while since I read volume 1, but I was able to jump right into this volume no problem. The second I started reading, I was able to jump right back into the story. I loved the element of time travel in this volume. I know it was introduced in the first volume, but it really went all Back To The Future in this one. We saw multiple versions of one of the characters which was pretty awesome! I still have a few questions, especially about the extreme future timeline and what the
Still no idea wtf is going on, but it's kind of fun so whatever.
The story is moving super-fast. I love that about it. :) From doppelgangers to gigantic maggots, riding dragons, to portals through folded space, we're firmly in a very different SF than what I'm used to.And I love it. Case in point: Multiple worlds theory is crap. There's only one time, one world, but it can be rewritten. Repeatedly. Chaotically. Catastrophically.And it's a war between the adults and the kids. Only, no one seems to have their s*** together and the battle is raging on for 63k ye...
"I'm here to escort you girls to the only place you'll be safe . . . about sixty-eight thousand years from now."I'm just a simple gal, so this one pretty much had me at giant warring tardigrades.
