I started Paper Girls some years ago and the early issues piqued my interest, so I was very happy to see this complete edition being released。 Brian K Vaughn is one of the most exciting writers out there -- I'm a huge fan of Saga (who isn't?), and Y was quite good before the ending fell off a bit -- and although I really enjoyed Paper Girls as a whole, I think it suffered some of the same issues as Y, The Last Man。 The early issues and character development were intriguing, the world-building wa I started Paper Girls some years ago and the early issues piqued my interest, so I was very happy to see this complete edition being released。 Brian K Vaughn is one of the most exciting writers out there -- I'm a huge fan of Saga (who isn't?), and Y was quite good before the ending fell off a bit -- and although I really enjoyed Paper Girls as a whole, I think it suffered some of the same issues as Y, The Last Man。 The early issues and character development were intriguing, the world-building was thrilling and the idea and early execution was fun and page-turning。。。 but the longer it went on, the more it disappeared into what-the-f**kery。 This happens quite a bit when dealing with time-travel stories, but this one is especially feels like it bites off more than it can chew, plot-wise。 Overall, it didn't matter too much, as I felt more drawn to the character-driven storylines than the nonsensical disappearing robots and reality-folding not-alien monsters and aged clones, and try as I might, it just didn't make a lick of sense if you put more than five minutes of effort trying to dissect it all。 But if you forget to care about the plot and just enjoy the heartful interactions and maturing relationships between the four girls, you'll enjoy the heck out of this story, which I did, in spades。 。。。more

It was great! An imaginative tale about friendship, time travel, and coming-of-age。 With its slick visuals and likable protagonists, it'll make you turn a blind eye to some plot inconsistencies :) It was great!

Note: I received a review copy of this for free from the publisher。Wow, I think this supplants Y the Last Man as my new favorite Brian K Vaughan book。 The pacing is just masterful。 I have some nitpicks about period inappropriate parlance that breaks the immersion of the story, but other than that, this is a fine piece of work that makes for a great to binge read。

I gotta admit, seeing this entire series in one go is so much better IMO。 Maybe that was because this was something I could read in one sitting and go back to remember what is and what isn't。Like most Kids on Bikes series, I guess the coming-of-age aspects really mean something。 I mean I got a real sense of childhood from these four girls。 They each have their own lives, struggles, and concerns。 I related to Tiffany by the amount of video games I played。Of course, there's a lot going into this s I gotta admit, seeing this entire series in one go is so much better IMO。 Maybe that was because this was something I could read in one sitting and go back to remember what is and what isn't。Like most Kids on Bikes series, I guess the coming-of-age aspects really mean something。 I mean I got a real sense of childhood from these four girls。 They each have their own lives, struggles, and concerns。 I related to Tiffany by the amount of video games I played。Of course, there's a lot going into this series but it never hits a reader over the head with a sledgehammer because seeing it from the girls' POV。 Kids worry about their here and now while intergenerational conflicts play in the background。 But that's actually what that background threat needed, just living in the moment with people you can make connections with。 I don't know about everyone else, but I definitely feel this as a necessity。 。。。more
