I really liked this one! The art and colouring were really great. The story is blurbed as a cross between Paper Girls and Stranger Things both of which I love. It could definitely be argued that is a rip-off of Stranger Things because it is very similar but I have been missing Stranger Things in this long hiatus so I will take any bit of that same vibe that I can get! I'm taking one star off because the ending left everything hanging and it appears that this one volume is the entire story. It fe...

Good but it needed to be way longer! I wanted to live in the world and get to know the characters better and understand more of what was going on! The pacing was not great and the end especially felt so rushed.

Kick butt women saving the world, fighting crime...committing crime, and being queer while doing it. Sounds like a party to me!

This packs a punch, especially if you’re a STRANGER THINGS fan. Completely bummed there’s only one volume—great art, engaging story, and captivating characters.

in the early 80's, a group of badass teenage girls discover various and sinister strange things afoot in their small town and decide to take matters into their own hands, and also two of them are in love. this was a super fun sci-fi romp that ended too soon. 4/5.

Much like Proctor Valley Road, one of those comics trying to ride the Stranger Things wave by talent who should know better. You can tell exactly which Stephen King stories it's been bodged together from, and matters aren't helped by some of the art choices, which do things like keep the monster so far off camera in the second issue that you don't even understand how the characters know to describe it (I went back twice to check I hadn't flicked over two pages at once), then show it fully in #3,...

Not worth it. The art is cool but the story is incredibly rushed. We have no idea who these characters are- why they’re the sick sisters, their backstory, how they met, anything. I wasn’t sad when certain people died or disappeared because there wasn’t enough info about them to like them. The pacing was so rushed. Almost immediately you’re thrust into this story of a factory and aliens, with a book that conveniently explains it all. Who is the villain? Couldn’t tell you. What is their motive? Co...

Ok... uh. I don’t know what happened; this was a fun ride that was super 80s and vaguely political, and then it was like the last issue the author forgot she had to wrap it up and then just rushed the heck out of the ending. Maybe it would have been better as a continuing series but it felt like when I badly plan out lettering of a sign and have to fit the rest of it into a tiny bit of paper and squeeeeze it in. Still definitely worth a read, the characters were memorable and the art was vivid.

Is Magdalene Visaggio okay? Was she present for the last two issues of this series?The first three issues serve a brand of 80s nostalgia popularized by Stranger Things but actually do it pretty successfully with colorful and pretty art, snappy dialogue and good characterization. And then the series takes a dive headfirst into concrete for literally no discernible reason whatsoever. The characters that were being developed all get abandoned, the plot threads get resolved in a page or two, none of...

I have heard this reminds people of Stranger Things and Paper Girls, but honestly it felt more like FLCL. The art is gorgeous and the story has a great premise. However, it is a bit rushed and the characters needed a little more development. Overall I enjoyed it.

Good but definitely feels more like a volume one than a complete series. I would have loved to see more of Ronnie and her and Nancy as a proper couple.

I grabbed this book off the shelf at my local library purely for the cover art. Holy shit I adore the style and colorization choices in this cover. The art throughout this book is really in your face and gorgeous, it's almost worth picking up just for that. Almost.Four best friends, the Sick Sisters (aka Ellen, Nancy, Veronica and Ashley), are the badasses of their tiny Ohio town. It's 1983 and aside from dealing with the normal pressures of growing up, crushes on friends and absentee parents, t...

Even if it is very reminiscent of other things *cough* Stranger Things *cough* Paper Girls (and self describes as being a combo of those two), I still loved it. I want more!

I really wanted to enjoy this series, it had an interesting concept but the execution left much to be desired. The pacing was my largest issue with how the story unfolded though I don't think that blame is fully the creators' burden, since it must be incredibly difficult to build and finish such an ambitious adventure in only five issues. Unfortunately pacing is a factor regularly underestimated in its importance in creating satisfying emotional depth, leading the last issue to feel anticlimacti...

Wish I could give this less honestly. It’s interesting that this comic was also by Oni Press, but was just so fucking godawful. I wanted to like it so badly, I mean, it has pretty much everything that I would love: conspiracies, the 80s, a bunch of rough ‘em up chicks, but alas, it’s just yet another absolutely horrible entry into the hypetrain that Stranger Things has created (Paper Girls and Something is Killing the Children are some more examples of this). I cannot get over how bad this was.....

A decent read overall but nothing outstanding. I liked the characters and the art was good but the story itself just felt very rushed and two-dimensional. It definitely feels like it's going for a Paper Girls vibe but for whatever reason didn't want to take the time to really set up the story. Still a fun quick read but not a lot of substance.

Solid concept. But the pacing was waaaaay too rushed due to the 5 issues/one volume constraint. I feel like with a little more time/more pages this could have really flourished. Art work was solid. Colors were great!

This is right up my alley! I only wish it had been longer, it was a tad rushed because it was so few issues.

More like 2.5 stars. This reads like it's trying too hard to be like Paper Girls and Stranger Things. I felt like the story was way too rushed and not developed enough. Don't think I will go further with this series.
