Paper Girls, Vol. 3 by Brian K. Vaughan, Cliff Chiang
My rating: 3/5 cats
so, i’m enjoying this series, inasmuch as i am still intrigued by what the heck is happening, but this issue is just more questions with no resolution to previous questions and no real indication that the story is heading in a direction where we can gather our breaths and start making progress towards anything resembling a cohesive storyline.
this issue is a mix of past, present, and “other”
where harsh truths are spoke, albeit in bewildering terms
the magic of womanhood descends
dissatisfaction with women’s representation in comic strips is expressed
and subtext swells
also, poo
also-also, kj faces anti-semitism and misogyny
woe betide the sexist astronaut…
it’s another volume with many 80’s references (i will miss you forever, mcdlt!!) , but for the most part, it just brings new dangers to the girls
without giving us much to cling to.
i will stick with it, but i’m gonna need a little more meat to go with all this silverware.
