Not sure what just happened or if I plan on continuing this series, but there were pterodactyls and bright colours, so points for that! ( )

This was AMAZING!! I love the 80's setting, the female paper delivery kids who kick ass, dinosaurs, aliens, time travel all wrapped up into one glorious comic. The artwork, the story - as confusing as it is - OMG! I'm not even going to summarize it here - just grab a freaking copy and READ IT!! ( )

DNF'd at 100 pages. This just isn't my thing.

I disliked Stranger Things because the girl was treated as the Other. Nothing is further from the truth in Paper Girls: 12 year old girl misfits take the spotlight and it is exciting and amazing. ( )

I can’t remember where I came across a recommendation of ‘Paper Girls’ - probably on here somewhere? I didn’t have any particular preconceptions and tend towards low expectations of graphic novels; Mike Carey's 'Lucifer' and Grant Morrison's 'The Invisibles', which I read as a teenager, have proved very difficult to equal. So I was delighted to find ‘Paper Girls’ immediately compelling, with impressively strong visual storytelling and brilliant use of colour. The 1980s suburban setting and supernatural/sci-fi oddity invite comparison to netflix’s Stranger Things. I found Paper Girls faster moving, weirder, more disorientating and claustrophobic. I’m hooked and have already reserved the next volume. ( )
