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 going on?'
It's a weird one, but it keeps you engaged and I have to say that the cliffhanger endings always make me want to read further... very odd though... very odd! 3.5*s
You are a bunch of ugly teenagers probably from a future where everyone is as ugly as you. This story is so addictive, in a better time i would have probably finished it in 6 days. I think these future people are here to prevent something from happening, the guys in white are either their oppressors or time keepers to hunt down anyone trying to change history. Pls don't let erin die.
Con la frase “la muerte es eterna” abre la tercera parte de esta entretenida e interesante historia que te cautiva desde un principio.
Seguimos con las chicas tratando de desentrañar los misterios que están ocurriendo en su ciudad, tras la aparición de dinosaurios montados por extraños sujetos que al parecer están persiguiendo a unos adolescentes que hablan un extraño idioma. Las chicas del periódico deben urgentemente dirigirse hacia un hospital producto del disparo que ha recibido Erin, por ende, tendrán que aventurarse a salir a las calles inundada de seres ya extintos y de extraños sujetos encapuchados. En su camino se encontrarán con unos chicos muy extraños que dicen ser como ellas.
Uff, como me gusta esta historia, llena de ciencia ficción y de cosas raras jajaja, aunque aun no entiendo lo que está pasando, creo que se irá revelando de manera muy interesante e impactante en las demás entregas.
Una serie de comic que me está encantando que se las dejo recomendadísimo.
Para mi va in crescendo y cada uno me gusta más que el anterior. Se ha puesto super interesante y hay varios giros que no me esperaba. Y adoro a las protagonistas!
Empieza a ponerse interesante, ¡por fin voy a poder saber qué demonios pasa!
RELECTURA 2019 (Puntuación 4*):
Pues ya empieza a ponerse interesante y eso hizo que le subiera media estrellita. El año pasado le había dado 5 estrellas, en ambas lecturas le subí la nota con respecto a las anteriores grapas y no me acordaba de ese detalle, eso quiere decir que la volví a disfrutar.
Una cosa curiosa, a veces me olvido que nuestras protagonistas tienen 12 años, siempre me da la sensación de ser más grandes de lo que realmente son. Sacando ese detalle, me encantan las viñetas a página entera, se lucen muy bien.
El final de esta grapa me dejó alucinada, eso fue lo que hizo que le subiera la puntuación en comparación con el número anterior.
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 somewhere in the 80's (not social justice wise, but aesthetically it's my favourite time period). It's four stars and not five because, again, not a fan of the art style but it's kind of growing on me.
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.
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.
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 like "OMG! OMG!! OMG!!! What's going on?! What'll happen next?! Forget about sleeping! MUST... KEEP... READING!!!" No, really, such impact is a rare thing to see nowadays. I literally started to think that I'm becoming an old geezer... and yet here I am! Drinking coffee and reading this comic. The conclusion - this comic is magical. It makes you feel young and alive again. Read it.
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).
Ok, ¿Se supone que hay dos fuerzas o bandos enfrentandose y su campo de batalla es Stony Stream y que las únicas que parecen medio entender lo que ocurre son estas chicas del periódico?. (Y, al parecer, el problema es quién confiar) (?) Ok, esto es confuso y falto de información, pero eso es lo que lo hace intrigante (jajaja) y con la necesidad de leer el siguiente número.
I think I am figuring out the appeal of this comic. The art is growing on me and the absolutely bizarre characters coming through the portal of differing factions and differentiated wildness make this really hard to put down...
...and unsurprising credit where unsurprising credit is due, the main characters are all very engaging. And for something like this to work they kinda have to be.
