Even the highly creative and often deeply darkly funny Peter Milligan can't do much to make what I feel is a very unfunny comic book banal franchise work for me! From the film, this is Milligan's take on Tank Girl's origin and troubles with Water & Power. 4 out of 12.

Difícil adaptar una película a viñetas. Más difícil cuando adapta un largometraje fallido que - encima - pretende llevar una historieta a la pantalla. "Tank Girl", ácido ejemplo del cómic británico de los '80, no tuvo suerte ni justicia en el traspaso que Rachel Talalay dirigió el 95, generando un rechazo compartido por el público y los propios creadores del título, quienes se encargaron de parodiarlo en posteriores entregas.

Así, el encargo de Peter Milligan y Andy Pritchett para realizar el "cómic oficial" despega con las probabilidades en contra, debiendo escarbar en un deslavado pastiche para recuperar algo de la diversión anárquica original. El resultado no es del todo bueno (imposible que lo fuera), mas se rescata el interés por redondear algo más que un trabajo a media máquina; solo para familiarizados con el material original, a fin de no llevarse una opinión errónea sobre el personaje y su importancia en el cómic underground.

Tank Girl? More please!

I wanted to read Tank Girl since I was 15 years old and I still cannot figure out why I didn't do it earlier.

This book tells the story of how she got her tank and how she meets the others (jet girl etc).
