What. The. Junk?! Where has this been all my life?! Asskixy hardcore lady types going on nature (and sometimes supernatural) adventures! I haven't been this jazzed about a graphic work since Ms. Marvel, and, like Ms. Marvel, this needs to get into the hands of every tween and teen girl (and tween and teen boy). Seriously, funny, smart, mindblowingly awesome cultural and historical references (Phyllis Wheatley FTW). Also, superpowerfully feminist and empowering in the best ways possible. (I had h ...more

Oh! How have I not reviewed this yet? I love these girls! Their story is silly and adventurous and mysterious and super fun. I love that a comic like this exists :) Alas, volume one is only the first 4 issues! Need more Lumberjanes! So many exclamation points!
