Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || PinterestI was attracted to this graphic novel because of the big 80s hair and the Jem and the Holograms vibes. I didn't even read the summary before accepting the ARC, which turned out to be a good thing, because if I had, I wouldn't have requested this-- and I actually really ended up loving it a lot!GLOW is based on a Netflix series of the same name about a bunch of women wrestlers who wear pretty costumes, undergo rigorous training sessions (
This truly feels like it could be en episode of Netflix’s GLOW. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a fictional version of the real life Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.The characters from the show are all here. The men are more in the background in this one than they usually are in the show. This one finds the ladies going to a wrestling event. There they learn that they will be fighting REAL wrestlers. That’s how the Star Primas see the match anyway. They’re real wrestlers who are being forced to fight
cute!
I love GLOW on Netflix , and thought this did a perfect job translating the tone from the show to a comic format! The storyline is a cute interlude between the plot of seasons 2 and 3 I think, and a sweet addition to girl-power comics that value female friendships. Also the art and coloring is stunning and fresh!
I received a copy of this book through the Amazon Vine program in exchange for an honest review. This is a fun read! It's like an episode of the Netflix show. The art is great and I enjoy the art of the comic and the pictures between the "chapters". It definitely feels like you can read it in the characters voices, although this seems to take place before the newest season.Overall it's a quick and enjoyable read!
Fun, even if the Star Primas don’t leave much of an impression.
Saddened by the premature cancellation of the Netflix TV show, I take a little consolation in this silly but enjoyable comic book tie-in. Our TV wrestlers butt heads with some serious and seriously athletic female wrestlers from another organization at a wrestling convention. It falls apart a little in the end as the wackiness piles up, but I like the art and a chance to visit with the characters.And apparently there is a sequel comic series I can pursue at some point for one last hit of GLOW.
*****Mandatory part where I mention I received a free copy of this product and that in no way effected my review***********GLOW Vs The Star Primas is a pretty good little story that fits well within the GLOW TV series and does a good job keeping things kosher with how characters and relationships work within the show. This story is easily inserted at almost any point in the show and, while is doesn't really change anything, it is a solid story that offers a few laughs. The issues here are the ar...
Fun and it did hit the right atmospheric notes, but too bad this wasn't a two-volume miniseries, as there were way too many characters and it didn't allow the GLOW cast to shine, let alone the new Star Primas cast. They did get Zoya perfectly though. Cute art style but I wonder if they'll go for this younger tone for the continuation series. It might trick fans of series like Lumberjanes that it's for them and it really shouldn't be!
I would definitely watch this episode of GLOW. If it were canon (I have already accepted it as canon) it would happen between seasons 2 and 3. Great art, the likenesses are there so you can definitely tell who's who. I would absolutely read more GLOW comics if they're all written like this. A big issue I have with other wrestling comics (and wrestling in general) is that all the women are viewed through the male gaze, and that's just not what's happening here and it makes me so happy.
3.5 stars!Can't believe I found a copy of this at my library but boy I miss GLOW so much (and I'm still devastated Netflix canceled it!)I couldn't help but want to pick this graphic novel up! It wasn't exactly the same experience as watching the show but it captured the heart and essence of it as best as it could. It was a fun read overall!
Not the continuation of the TV series I was hoping for. This is like if GLOW was translated into an animated sitcom.Not bad, it has nice art and some good written and visual humor, it's just not what I was hoping for.
this is cute although i would not say it sated my desire for another season of glow
8/10
Certainly nowhere near as entertaining as the show (you really can’t translate Brie, Gilpin, and Maron to the page like this), but for an adaptation TPB especially in the wake of the show’s non-renewal, this still scratches the same itch. Several of the core characters feel almost absent or play such small roles as to barely impact the narrative, but this isn’t the equivalent of a whole season so much as maybe 1-2 episodes worth of content. The art was also notably fun and reminded me a fair bit...
4 stars!Absolutely delightful! Even though Netflix has done the unthinkable and cancelled this terrific series, here's to hoping that IDW is smart enough to keep GLOW alive. Pleeeeeeeeease say we'll see Sheila and her "wolf pack" again!😁
Fun and funny!
