Again I caved and picked the next one up even though I am still somewhat unsure whether I truly like the series. I think that the art style is alright, but the colouring is lovely, the story is just plain weird though. Honestly I have seen a lot of people saying 'what is this?' 'what's happening?' and such in their reviews and I can sympathise because this is truly very odd. We have a group of paper girls, and a load of monsters, maniacs and dinosaur-like creatures!? I have to ask...'What IS goi

I like how quickly the story is advancing, I don't think the characters are particularly well developed but I don't really expect them to be because it's only been three comics and that doesn't feel like enough to really put emphasis on who they are as people. There is also a lot happening and that's what the comics focus on, more then anything. There also isn't a huge amount of world building, but I just finished Stranger Things so I'm just basing everything from that as they're both set somewh

Great filler issue to the series. This issue answered more questions, but I still don't know why the aliens are invading. Great ending! Glad they finally explained the alien speech.
WHAT IS HAPPENING ????
this is insane & i love it

This one continued on the same high note as the last one. Great storytelling and it opens up more questions.
Seriously have no idea what is going on.
Ok this just gets better and better!

I really can't get enough of these paper delivery girls. They have such strong personalities which is perfect for the situation they have found themselves in.

The last one wasn't really sad... never mind.
Say wha-a-a-a-a-a-a-at? No, really, there's one thing about modern media. Books, comics, movies, TV shows, whatever. Most of them are either reboots, or made of recycled ideas. In other words, if you're old and geeky enough, it's pretty hard to get really excited about the new stuff. Usually it's like "*Yawn* yeah... I see what they did there... I'll finish reading this one tomorrow... even though I'm sure I know how it'll end..." Now this comic so far... is exactly the opposite to that. It's li

I'm just loving this series. It's kinda short per issue but I think that also gives it the fast paced feel. Things keep turning up that make the plot "thicken". And I'm loving the end section with the Newspaper delivery guild, it very cleverly draws you into the period when the action is supposed to take place (80s) and all the anachronisms that come with it (sexism, anti-communism etc).
Loving Paper Girls! don't think I could get enough of this. Complicated time travel plot with everyday friendships as a foil, not sure I've unwrapped all the sci-fi layers, but beautiful colours and often funny.
Not really sure about what is happening but I am going the read until Vol. 5 tonight because YES!!!!!
Four 12-year-old paper girls get caught in the action when monsters/aliens invade. Weird and fun.
this feels a lot like Stranger Things meet Ghostbusters! which is even chooler for a 90 kid like me!!
I’m confused as hell
These last couple issues keep a good amount of intrigue to keep you reading and hooked into the story. Characters are doing great and the story is pacing well.
It’s interesting, but I’m not sure I want to commit beyond the 3.
what is going on... things just blew up !!!
So the first two issues pretty much bedazzled me with the art, the colors and the characters. I've already made it clear I am not a fan of Vaughan's previous work on Y: The Last Man nor the ongoing Saga, but Paper Girls has me thoroughly sold in virtually every aspect. I like that this is an homage to '80s culture and memorabilia, while focusing less on the flashy fashion and music of the time. I find that the 1980s is a common tribute in works of fiction and music; some are way too "in your fac

I really honestly wish every issue would STOP ENDING ON A CLIFFHANGER. It's so good, but the wait is so painful. There has been no resolution from the last two issues. The plot just keeps on thickening. Now we know who the ninja guys are. But what's up with the weird fake Shakespearan speaking dudes in the silver armor. Are they good are they bad? What's this wormhole with the dinosaurs even doing? When will something ever be explained?
I'm not going to carry on with this comic. I don't find the story or characters very compelling. I was really hoping I would enjoy this series because I think that Brian K. Vaughan is a brilliant writer but this comic isn't very good in my opinion. Well... it's not that it's bad or anything just kind of boring. Typically I would love a weird comic like this but for whatever reason I don't connect with any of it.
This just keeps getting better and the distress of waiting for each tiny bit of story is increasing exponentially. I love the art, LOVE the rawdy girl group adopts timid newbie trope, and am really getting sucked into the sci-fi story. Highly recommend for anyone with the patience to wait for a comic to be written in real time.
Ok so now that I read the 3 that are out I can safely say that the art is AMAZING! I LOVE IT!
But as far as the story goes I'm gonna need a bit more before I make a decision. So I'm gonna give this series another issue.
I'm gonna be honest and say I think this series is a bit over hyped.

Why are so many reviewers saying they don't like how "weird" this comic is? Aren't comics inherently supposed to be weird? Isn't that neat? The world in this series is crazy and weird and fascinating.
What is going on?! It's confusing and weird and I'm not sure exactly what's happening (I guess apocalypse/time traveling?) but it was exciting. I didn't expect that beginning with Erin or that ending reveal. Intriguing stuff.
Not a bad issue overall. The beginning and ending of this issue had me on the edge of my seat. Everything in the middle could probably have been skipped. I'm hoping the "middle stuff" would be more interesting later in the series and I'd have to go back and re-read this issue.
Weirdest. Comic book. EVER. And I'm hooked! (Then again, this creation is coming from the bizarrely brilliant mind of SAGA's author, so should I be surprised??) What on extraterrestrial Shakespearean and Teenage Mutant Alien Ninjas is gonna happen next!?
