But shades of Buffy, too, in all the best ways. Brian and Joss Whedon must have a grand old time socially. Kauffman , with all the crackling wit. Anyway, the action. A lot happens and very little happens on this night of all nights; it's all flash in the pan--so far.
The girls proceed on this Halloween night of and meet three boys who are just sexist creeps, one of them in a Freddy Krueger costume, though more bark than bite, really. Sets up the "real" All Saints Day scare. Three ninjas. Then three aliens. Four against three, balance against imbalance. And time travel, ala Back to the Future, sort of.
And the eighties refs have to keep a comin', Mask, walkie talkies instead of cell phones. And in the middle of the apocalypse, one of them says, "wait, you guys give out whole candy bars for Halloween!? What's up with that? And for the YA crowd, the action has to be over the top, but you know, it's Halloween, it has to be breathless, running through the night--is it an actual werewolf or a werewolf costume?
But no eek screaming girly stuff, they are tough and resourceful, of course, this is comics! Girls rule! This is my reason for four instead of five stars, or one of them, that all this pizzazz is happening, and we have no idea what is happening, and we don't really yet know much about the girls, it is all sort of whizzbang superficial in the early going.
But if I were inclined to give it three stars you have at least that for the dialogue and Chiang and color, c'mon! I liked it a lot for what it is and forgive it for what it is not yet. I totally trust Vaughn to make you feel deeply and laugh a lot and resolve this with some reference to politics and human nature in satisfying plot resolution. View all 21 comments.

Our story begins in the wee hours of Halloween when noob Erin is being accosted by local hooligan Freddie Krueger while attempting to complete her paper route.
Luckily for Erin, the other paper girls have already hit the streets and appear just in time to save the day. Not so lucky is the first impression presented. So anyfarts, the girls make their escape and immediately run into another problem when they make plans to divide and conquer the paper delivery. Once again they narrowly get away and finally come face to face with the potential bad guys who look an awful lot like this fella when their masks are removed.
We then discover the key to solving the entire WTFery that has been going on might be in a tiny little device with the logo of a bitten apple on it. I finally had a chance to use it. As well as another dude who bore a striking resemblance to. Not to mention the bizarre dream sequences starring folks like The Gipper.
I thought Mac was just a homophobic asshole with her remarks and she was , but supposedly it was the language of the time and sadly it was so it was used in that one frame. Eventually with various Dukakis references and a shout-out to one of my all-time faves. I was able to put two and two together. There's no excuse for this one.

Thank you, NetGalley! Jun 28, Jan Philipzig rated it really liked it Shelves: historical , comedy , youth , apocalyptic , sci-fi , friendship , mystery , horror , image , feminism. LOVED the first issue no surprise there, first issues are a Vaughan specialty , the late 80s setting, Chiang's clean and subtle artwork, Wilson's neon-drenched coloring, the lively, primarily female cast, the snappy yet realistic dialogue — loved it all so much I got a little dizzy early on. Then came the disfigured teenagers from the future, the dinosaurs, the weird language, the Apple dude - and I got a bit confused.
Which was the idea, I guess. It's a charming and very enjoyable first volume that brings to mind Brubaker's Deadenders and movies like Stand by Me , E. View all 6 comments. Mar 27, Adina rated it liked it. While waiting for the next Saga volume to come out I thought to check out another series from Brian K. I enjoyed it but I don't think it is as good as the other. It was weird with different strange creatures and an attractive 80' vibe.
I might continue with the series but i am in no rush to do so. Nov 03, Whitney Atkinson rated it it was amazing Shelves: feminism , lgbtqiap , favs-of , graphic-novels , favorites , read-in The best way I can describe it is Saga meets Stranger Things. I loved the concept of a girl squad running around to solve the world's issues. I loved the sass, the artwork, the clothing and the vibe of the entire book.
I love each girl in the group for their own reasons, and I didn't find myself thinking, "wait, who is this person? As far as a feminist graphic novel, I enjoyed this one more than Bitch Planet, which was weighted down with a lot of boring and aimless dialogue whereas I was glued onto every page of this. Because this book deals with time travel, it was so cool to see pop culture references from both our time and the 80s. A lot of people say that the plot of this is confusing, but compared to the mindfuck that is the Saga series, I actually followed it alright.
It leaves you with unanswered questions, but those should definitely and hopefully be resolved in later volumes which I plan to pick up. There was a character who would make homophobic remarks, but they always went challenged by other characters. I can't wait for and hope to see the development and growth of this character. View all 3 comments. Jan 02, the burning dreamer. But agh. Vaughan, I'm afraid you've set the bar way too high after Saga.
While Paper Girls certainly stands out in the world of comics, with a vibrant spectacle of colours and rich atmosphere , it definitely isn't the best this man's got to offer. Other than lack of a smooth-running plot, this story's fallout lay in its dialogue for me. I'm sure there's a translation lurking about in the interwebs somewhere but it only serves to be supremely off-putting when you're lost reading in the middle it.
Back to the roughly handled plotline. The story? Not mind-blowing, not whoa-inducing, but still great. It manages to capture the quick paced, compact structure every comic books needs to win an audience, but not without its stumbles along the way. Too much infodump in too little time and what we're left with is confuddling chaos. As for the characters? That's all they made me feel and that's all I've got to say about them.
Sure, there were two or three interesting turn of events thrown at us and some insanely lush artwork to boot too big hats off to Cliff Chiang and Matthew Wilson! But in the end, these girls and this world seem just as flat as paper. Final rating: 2. I'm still trying to figure out what the symbolism with all the apples and eyes is about View all 4 comments.
Actual Rating: 2. In fact the only thing I super loved about this was the illustrations. It's a little difficult for me not to compare this to Vaughn's other ongoing series Saga, which had me hooked from the very first installment. This was was very okay. I was really feeling a young, diverse female cast on an 80's science fiction adventure. I was Actual Rating: 2. I was even getting a Stranger Things vibe from it at the beginning.
But alas, there just isn't a lot of substance here. I'll likely try out Vol. Aug 14, Dennis rated it really liked it Shelves: adventure , pop-culture , time-travel , graphic-novels-comics-manga. And those colors. Love them. It's one of the very few comics of which I own the paperback. And I'm glad I do.
It looks great. Probably closer to a full four stars now. Count me in! The story is that of four paper girls experiencing some really strange things in the early hours after Halloween of The main character, Erin, is a year-old loner tha re-read: A little less confusing, and still very entertaining.
The main character, Erin, is a year-old loner that only becomes acquainted with the other girls in the first few pages of this book. But mainly it is a fast-paced, action-packed ride through one hell of a night. Fox Okay, I made up one of the above. Okaaay, two, I made up two of them not telling you. Anywho, a lot of people still out on the streets. Some are harmless, some are up to no good and others are just leftovers from Halloween. Again, not telling you.
That seems to be the motto of Vaughan as well. The reader has to be patient and wait for things to get resolved in future volumes. It was entertaining still and I love the style of that book. Because the next three books are out already. In fact, I cheated and already read the second volume.
So much for being patient. Volume 1: 3. View all 33 comments. May 25, Philip rated it really liked it Shelves: ya , comics-graphic-novels , sci-fi , hugo , author-man , fantasy , releases. A cool first volume, not at all what I expected, but in a good way. The plot is honestly kind of wacky. There's a Stranger Things vibe with the 80s setting and the kid protagonists. The Paper Girls themselves are awfully mature for their what- 12ish years?
I had a hard time buying their ages. Maybe I'm just out of touch with the young 'uns t 4ish stars. Maybe I'm just out of touch with the young 'uns these days. I did like all of them, though, especially Erin, and I like each of their artistic representations. I feel like, characteristically, they'll grow and deepen as the series continues. I really like Chiang's art.
It isn't mind-blowingly gorgeous or incredibly detailed and it's unfair to compare it to that of Fiona Staples who does the art for Vaughan's other incredibly popular series, Saga. But it does a great job telling the story. It's consistent throughout which, despite what one might think, is pretty rare in most graphic novels.
I never became confused by the art and for that, I think it's great. Matt Wilson, the colorist, does a spectacular job, particularly with gradiating the colors of the sky.
He has a great sense of lighting and I love the color palette. Definitely going to keep going with the series. Posted in Mr. Philip's Library Apr 16, Scarlett Readz and Runz Before sunrise, the paper girls are on their bikes armed with the Cleveland Paper out for delivery.
