eh, all the comics were just a couple pages long, so none of them really had room to develop. some of them were good, others were bleh. i liked that they added profiles of females who helped build the comics industry, but as it's not personally a big interest of mine, it didn't add much to my experience. all and all, nice to have something that features female comic book authors, but otherwise not spectacular.

An anthology of stories from the Marvel Universe; and spotlighting not the stars or starlets of said verse. I did not know the Greek gods played a role in Marvel, thought that was solely DC. Watching Venus long to be a fashion magazine designer like she had been in the 50s was entertaining. The first tale was quick blunt and good: Nightcrawler in a club setting where mutants are not targeted, so he could just unwind, but his heroic heart doesn't allow him to ignore his vigilant observation. My f...

I really wanted this to not be terrible but it kind of was. First off, this collection is not based on female superheroes as the title led me to believe, it actually focuses on the fact that everyone in this collection who wrote/illustrated/edited/etc. was female. (This isn’t completely true but close enough)These stories are very short and vary in art style and subject matter. Scattered throughout the book, between the stories are biographies of influential and successful female Marvel writers

What the fuck did I just read?

I was unsure what to expect when I picked this up. My past experiences with comic anthologies have not been good, and I was a little afraid that the potential feminist tone of the book would come off as to obnoxious.I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this. Don't get me wrong, half the stories in here were not even worth reading, but that's par the course of anthology's. It was MUCH better than the other comic anthologies I've read which tended to have at the most only ONE story I fel...

This is about what you'd expect from an anthology series. Lots of bland and forgettable stories, some spectacular ones that make you glad you read it in the first place. I thought it would be about female characters but no, it's female creators writing whoever the heck they feel like writing. Everyone from the X-Men to the Inhumans to Punisher, from goddesses to mercenaries. There's lots of incredible talent here that I'd love to see more of, you just need to pick through it all to find it.

Highly shifting quality from story to story but my general impression was good.

This comic led me to question why there aren't many women working in the comics industry. I used to believe it was due to sexism or cultural influences, but now, as terrible as it sounds, I'm starting to question whether women just tend to be shit at comics. Because Girl Comics is a terrible collection of stories. I can think of only three out of all of them that were actually enjoyable to read. And sadly, they were some of the shortest stories as well. If you want to see good comics done by wom...

A collection of shorts by women creators at Marvel. There's a lot of really good stuff in here and a couple of incomprehensible pieces. There's also a handful of spotlights on women creators who worked for Marvel from the 60s to the 90s. Good stuff!

I didn't quite understand why these particular comics were picked. To be honest, only a few of them were interesting and the rest were filler-style comics that focused on the softer side, which would have been fine if it hadn't been almost the whole books worth. It seemed a little off, like the editor decided that if someone wanted to read comics written by women, they wanted to read stereotypical storylines (romance, hair dressing, etc.).An example of how ridiculous it was at times was the stor...

This is a charming project Marvel presented in a three issue miniseries and collected in this hardcover. It features the comic books industry’s top female creators on their top female characters. It is a great line-up, featuring a mix of A-list creators and up and coming indie newcomers. The collection evokes a mix of nostalgia and edgy underground feel. It is a great book to have just to see Louise Simonson and June Brigman work on their original creation Power Pack again, Colleen Coover’s retr...

Full review with pictures at https://amanjareads.com/2020/12/07/gi...Girl Comics is an attempt from Marvel to show that they totally have women creators and characters there! Don't believe them, well they managed to scrounge together a couple dozen stories written by them. They also put together little bios for a few of them. Honestly, the whole thing is just sad.I knew what this book was going into it. I knew it was not likely to be good. These kinds of pandering projects never are. I guess I j...

Introduction to some lesser known Marvel women, as well as highlighting actual women artists behind the scenes. Created entirely by women. Recommend.

*Shallow Comic Reader Buddy Read* Books with female leadsHmm. This was interesting. A collection of shorts entirely by female creators, featuring Marvel characters.Some of these made sense. Others didn't.Some were cute. Others weren't.The best part were the biographies of female pioneers in the comics world. Not sure I can really recommend this to anyone, but it's a short read if you have some time to spare.

I wanted to love this collection by and about women creators. The mini bios of women who worked for Marvel and Colleen Coover's illlustrations were my favorite part, but the stories themselves were too often focused on romance or were stories about male characters. Many of the stories didn't pass the Bechdel test, and that's pretty weird for a book that's supposed to celebrate the female characters of Marvel.

The stories are very hit and miss. The hits are well worth it I guess.Also too many stories all about the men. Sadness.

It's rare I rate any book one star but I felt really disappointed by this.I made one major mistake, I cold pulled this book off the shelf and it was plastic wrapped and didn't do any research.Most of the stories are couple pages long. The art is mostly subpar, only the cover page and splash pages between stories are really great.I didn't get this book at all.I love plenty of female writers and artists but hav no idea why this was seen as a showcase of anything but 2 pages pointless stories.I hat...

I enjoyed discovering some new illustrators and writers in this comic book showcase of female talent within the industry as much as I enjoyed reading the bios of some of the women pioneers to the industry.Well worth a read!

Well the title misled me as to what this collection was. I thought it was based on female superheroes; instead, it highlights that everyone who worked on this book was female. I am all about girl power, but it's just very disappointing that this was as awful as it was. While there were a few art covers that were lovely, there was no story to accompany them. The rest of the art was cartoon-y to the point of childishness, but of course, this was the artwork that had the "plots." There was no actio...

Maybe a dozen readable pages in this whole crap-fest. Too bad.
