This is mostly terrible. The first two stories are solid comics from Marjorie Liu and Kelley Sue DeConnick but by the time you get to Galacta and the genuinely awful Lady Deadpool this collection really falls off a cliff with only shorter entries by G Willow Wilson and Mary H.K. Choi saving this from the recycling bin.
Great art, and some really good stories. Kind of all over the place, but still good.
I dream of a world in which female superheroes don't have unrealistically exposed cleavage. Some interesting stories, and the variety in artists made for a cool variety of drawing styles, but I'm still so distracted by their stupid costumes that I can't fully appreciate the characters themselves.
The ONLY reason I gave this otherwise wonderful book a 3 star was because of the Galacta story. Ugh, it was too long, too wordy, too boring, too whiny, too creepy, too much 'daddy, you never answer my calls so I'm going to keep calling you and calling you' too 'I'm always hungry, maybe I should consider self cannibalization' too much twitter, too much ego preening, the art was wonky, the coloring was weird and over all, I felt the book would have fared SO much better without this story, and also...
Featuring the first issue for many of Marvel's female superheroes, and as such, a very mixed bag. I thought for sure I'd like X-23/Laura's, since it was written by Marjorie Liu and I liked her in Black Widow, but it was a no go for me. I also didn't like Galacta (clever idea, I guess, but all she did was whine about calories) or Lady Deadpool, which had a remarkable amount of shaming in it. Others I skipped because the art was just so objectifying, it wasn't worth it. But I quite liked Firestar
I would have given it three, but that Galacta story was so boring I couldn't finish it. Overall, it isn't too bad. They're just snippets of superheroes that can entice you to the own collection (if they have any). None spoke to me personally, I there was a range in character plots that revolved in something other than men. I feel like they could further develop their personalities so they're not mainly analytical caring women, yet I assume that's what the other comics or for. The costumes were a...
Once again I have been utterly disappointed by the portrayal of Marvel’s female characters. This graphic novel is a compilation of first issues; basically it’s an introduction to a bunch of D-list heroes. Unfortunately, half of the stories rely on humor (instead of having Lyra, Hulk’s daughter, bash in some Skrulls, we watch her try on prom dresses) and a third are cliché and generic, copies of male counterparts with boobs. The worst of the worst has to be Galacta, teeny bopper daughter of Galac...
This collection of stories featuring female superheroes in the Marvel universe was a VERY mixed bag. Some of the stories were excellent (X-23, Sif), some were good (Lady Deadpool, Valkyrie), and the rest ranged from mediocre to awful. If it were possible to rate the individual stories, X-23 and Sif would both get 4 stars. Taken as a whole, though, this book is OK at best.
I really enjoyed reading this book, I loved seeing the amazing representation and diversity of the women and the beautiful illustrations and it is definitely a very important book to empower young girls.
This includes a bunch of shorts about a ton of female marvel characters that I had never really read about before and I was happy to read it. There are definitely a bunch of characters I would like to know more about including Sif and X-23. I had never read anything from Dazzler that wasn't older so it was nice to read something about her that wasn't silly and all in all I really enjoyed it. The only two stories I wasn't in love with were Galacta and Lady Deadpool. Both just felt a little bit lo...
Some great, some awful. VERY marvel. Lady Deadpool, X-23 and Spitfire stood out. Some of them were just straight up bad. Also- HORRIBLE cheesecake at the end. HORRIBLE cover. Really does a disservice to women in comics. So overall this was okay- nothing special and more annoying than good
Mainly read this because of Black Cat, but the stories involving other characters were good enough. Some a little wacky, but enjoyable nonetheless.
The five stars are for Kelly Sue's Sif story, though I enjoyed the rest of them (except for lady deadpool and galactica, that is).
This was a pretty good collection, though it is kind of hard to read through so many "#1"s at once. The Galacta story was completely unnecessary in my opinion and is the collection's biggest blemish.
