Estoy releyendo esta serie, ahora si de forma ordenada, para entender bien la trama principal.
En este segundo tomo vemos a Jane tratando de enseñarle a nuestro grupo de chicas loquillas como sobrevivir en un rio, pero sucesos sobrenaturales siguen persiguiéndolas a donde vayan y aquí las vemos enfrentarse un raro monstruo marino.
This was so much funnier than the first one. Here the characters start to be fleshed out a bit more; Ripley and Mal are my favourites. The artwork as with everything Noelle Stevenson related is amazing. Onto the third!!
This was exactly what I needed. I'm having trouble with my anxiety again and reading Lumberjanes made me forget about it for a little while, so yayy. Anyway, back to Lumberjanes: this issue was really funny and the colors/art were awesome! *.* I'm completely in love with it. Also, can we talk about Ripley? And Mal and Molly? And April? And Jo? I mean gaaaah these girls are awesome!
I know this is a very popular comic series, but after 2 books, I've determined it's just not for me. Target audience (and age) not withstanding, I just didn't "get it."
I wont give anything on this book because you basically are still following the Lumberjanes at the camp.
My review from Book 1.
This was so cute. So hard to give any details on it since it was only like 25 pages but you follow a group of kids that attend a camp and by the end of the 25 pages you want to know what is happening at this camp.
Lumberjanes #2 by Noelle Stevenson My rating: 4 of 5 stars
March 29 - 29
When you’re a scout, nothing is more important than being prepared, but how do you prepare for legions of supernatural creatures threatening to beat down your scouting camp’s door? Jo, April, Mal, Molly, and Ripley are about to find out! It’s just supposed to be a normal day at camp with games and a bit of canoeing, but when the girls find themselves separated from the rest of camp they realize there really is a lot more going on and it might be a unhelpful river monster that gives them the key to figuring everything out. Don’t miss out on the second issue of this hot new series from Noelle Stevenson, Grace Ellis, and Brooke Allen!
Review - This one was crazy they were all boating and a sea monster and it's crazy I love these characters it made me laugh can't wait to read the next one .
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Also cute as heck, but felt much too short! Wow single issue comics are frustrating to read, I want mooooore. I don't know which one of the awesome ladies does the colouring but holy moley it's fantastic. So bright and I just want to cosplay all of the characters immediately because they're ADORABLE
Lumberjanes #2 is a graphic novel that takes place in a summer camp that is filled with extraordinary characters and girls. I admit that there were times when the plot was a bit hard to follow and that I still had trouble telling some of these girls apart but overall, it kept me entertained. The artwork was wonderful as it has been in the past and I still really liked the character of Jen.
Oh. My. Gee. This book is AMAZING. There was actual gleeful clapping on my part, as well as legitimate laughing out loud. I love zany creatures and wacky happenings, but especially when there are girl crushes involved. READ THIS. READ IT NOW.
This series is cute so far. I wish it were in a volume already. Adding the individual issues to goodreads feels like I'm scamming my GR account so it looks like I read a lot more than I do. Oh well! MAYBE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM DOING.
Me gustó mucho, pero rompe con la dinámica del primer número. No sé porqué están ahí y cuál es su propósito. Dónde aprendieron acerca de los monstruos y si el campamento se enfoca a entrenarlas o a educarlas en ese sentido. La calidad del espacio es muy buena. Buenas ilustraciones que se quedan opacádas por una mala ejecución narrativa.
Una nueva aventura entretenida de estas chicas. Me encanta que cada una tiene un carácter tan diferente al de las demás. Ripley con su locura a veces me desquicia.
I got into this series back somewhere in October or September, I go try and finish the second book right after the first solely because if I were going to read it I wanted the actual paper back book. The pages flow better when you have the graphic novel. Anyway this series caught my attention because it was adorable and cheesy (friendship to the max, right) it seemed like a quick read where you'll fall in love with a wild story and great characters, and I was absolutely right. The book is super sweet where a group of girl-scout-like troops are at a summer camp and weird things are beginning to happen. The first book ended kind of on a cliff hanger and the second book totally changed the story. I'm super pumped for the third book, but I don't know when I'll read it. Its a fast read but it really cute and the story line is great.
Called it. One of them works for Adventure Time now.
The problem with these comics is that there's no substance, no real threat, no development.
The characters are practically interchangeable to me.
And the art is way too...heavy. That's the only way I can describe it, the line work is not bad, and can be lovely at times. But whoever colored and lettered these comics did not think it out that well. When everything is a solid, heavy, bright color it's hard to see what's going on. And the lettering is very much comic sans and I mean really?
I read the first book and it was action packed and a lot of things happened on that book. But his second book... Hmm... First of all, the cliffhanger on book one didn't continue on in the next book. Actually, nothing really continued on in the second book. I felt this book was like a filler. It really has no point in being published. But it was fun to read.
ADORABLE. I love their friendship, I really love when girls who are nothing like each other bond together and don't argue or compete. Also the girl who is actually called Mal but I thought was called Jo 100% has some form of anxiety and I relate to her so much and everytime Ripley says she wants food lol
Like the first book, I would give it 3.5 stars because I liked it, but it's not a love or favorite of mine. The integration of Greek mythology was interesting and I think there's room for character growth, especially Jen.
