Reviews

[Dan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I always love reading Terry Moore. He’s consistently and dependably amazing. Parker Girls is no deviation from that. Tambi, Katchoo, and Becky weave a tight net. Mess with one Parker Girl and the rest will come hunting for you. But as Terry knows, the heart of any story worth telling is about the love Katchoo and Francine have for each other.

I can only say that Terry Moore is easily one of the best artist/storytellers in the graphic novel medium working today. And this book is no exception. His handling of the characters, and pacing, and stories...just brilliant.

Not the author's strongest. Opens with a weirdly long diatribe against climate change, but it's delivered by the bad guy which seems off-base. Decent story, but the sameyness of character designs bugged.
