Tank girl e compagni ci propongono un'altra storia scanzonata e sopra le righe; per quanto mi riguarda si tratta di una storia "filler" che non contiene nulla di particolarmente utile alla storia principale nè nulla di memorabile.
Consiglio ai nuovi lettori di questo personaggio: io non partirei con il leggere questi capitoli, un buon modo per cominciare potrebbe essere quello di attaccare la serie regolare, un altro potrebbe essere la visione del film omonimo.
Letto nell'edizione cartacea italiana a cura di Panini Comics.

Tank Girl: Bad Wind Rising is an entertaining graphic novel by Alan C. Martin. This is the 2nd of this series that I've enjoyed.
Tank Girl and her friend, kangaroo Booga, have had devices planted in their bodies, to monitor their whereabouts and also to affect their nervous systems and cause them to fight and argue with each other. While the gang is resting and relaxing, Booga is sent to get some treats. Because he doesn't have sufficient money, he decides to rob the post office but an alarm is set and brings the police. Tank Girl brings the tank to rescue Booga. This sets off a chain of events, a fight and split between Booga and Tank Girl. Tank Girl leaves with another of her group, Jet Girl and they go to visit Green Norman, while Booga and Barn, help two other folks take part in the robbery of a truck full of weapons.
Unfortunately it turns out that the truck is full of boxes of underwear and is driven by members of Booga's old gang of Kangaroos. Tank Girl and Jet Girl try to discover who has placed the tracker in Tank Girl and get involved with a mad scientist.
So there you go, the gist of the story. Make sense? :0) All in all, as per the other graphic novel I read featuring Tank Girl, it's a fun, entertaining, wild ride. The artwork is excellent and the story is excellent, totally wild and fun. Don't expect anything deep and profound, but you will be entertained. I do want to read more of this series. (3.5 stars)

Not my favorite of the series but it's fun & beautifully drawn & colored. There's actually a lot of dialog for a Tank Girl story, some sciencey techno babble kinda stuff.
I found TG to be more subdued in this one...it's actually more about Booga, Barney, & Jet Girl.

The story wasn't that great but the art was awesome. This isn't the early Tank Girl so the edginess has been replaced with a pseudo-punk teen pop sensibility...like buying a Strokes CD and getting Green Day songs.
Still the art made it worth looking through, though!

Somehow doesn't seem as good as the early ones... it seems to have a cohesive plot. Whatever next?
a Xmas present from Nix, with thanks.

Great artwork by Rufus, but still not quite sure how I feel about Tank Girl as a whole.
