Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 9 Up—The book opens with a 12-year-old girl named Erin having an incredibly vivid and confusing dream. She wakes up and starts her paper route. Because it's November 1, there's a lot of residual Halloween weirdness out on the streets, and soon she finds herself the target of some teenage boys who are wearing costumes while vandalizing the neighborhood. Erin is rescued by several newspaper delivery girls who are traveling together for safety, and then the narrative takes a surreal turn. Some folks in the neighborhood start disappearing, and people who appear to be wearing Halloween costumes seem to be from different times or places. The papergirls try to figure out who is attacking them and why, who are their allies or enemies, and just what on earth is going on. The tale ends with a striking cliff-hanger that will let readers know that the girls' adventures are far from over. Vaughn's reputation has already skyrocketed with the success of graphic novels like Saga, and this title helps to showcase his abilities as the author of far-out fiction that will make readers think. Colorful and captivating, the artwork expertly captures the strange qualities of this memorable outing. Strong language makes this more appropriate for mature readers. VERDICT An awesome selection for older teens and adults looking for an exciting sci-fi tale with unexpected twists.—Andrea Lipinski, New York Public Library

Review

BOOK RIOT -- Paper Girls, Vol. 1 by Brian K. Vaughan, Cliff Chiang, Matthew Wilson: Being that Saga is one of my all time favorite comics I was really excited to hear Vaughan was working on not only a new comic book but one that is set in the '80s! This time instead of a story centering around an epic love we have a group of paper girls who encounter some weird shit happening in their neighborhood. The graphics are fantastic, the what-is-happening element is intriguing, and the different personalities and relationships amongst the girls is great. And if you're a fan of Stranger Things you should definitely pick this one up.



BOOK RIOT -- Princeless Vol 1: Save Yourself by Jeremy Whitley, Mia Goodwin, Jung-Ha Kim (Contributor), Dave Dwonch (Contributor): I've raved about this one a lot-I even dream cast it because this needs to happen!-since it is all the things I wish I'd had in a comic as a kid AND something I totally enjoy and love as an adult. Princess Adrienne and her sisters are in towers waiting for their princes to rescue them but Adrienne has no desire to be rescued by anyone but herself. And so she rescues herself. Then she teams up with the funny Bedelia- after Bedelia makes her some body armor-to go rescue her sister. And if the series weren't delightful enough it spins off into Princeless: Raven the Pirate Princess Book 1: Captain Raven and the All-Girl Pirate Crew which is just awesome lady pirates being awesome and hilarious.

    No comic book has excited me this much in a long long time. I was a pretty regular comic reader as a kid through high school but eventually moved on as stories got tired and repetitive and the "new take" on things attempts always ended up just ludicrous and stupid.

    Through a bit of chance I stumbled across Paper Girls, was intrigued by the unique illustration and decided to give it a shot. I was completely hooked from issue 1. The story is a blast and crazy and fun and keeps you guessing and the characters are rich and dynamic. The illustration is excellent and fresh. I also love that you can read these just for the entertainment value if you want but there is also a ton of underlying conceptual content to dive in to if you wish.

    This is the refresh comic books have been needing! Seriously, read Paper Girls!

    Also, I was pleasantly surprised by the packaging from Amazon on this order. It came shrink wrapped to a large, sturdy piece of cardboard inside a larger box so the book was in mint condition when I received it.

    Paper Girls Volume One
    From the amazing mind of Brian K Vaughan (Saga) and the incredible cartoon talents of Cliff Chiang (Wonder Woman New 52) comes Paper Girls.

    Vaughan has never steered me wrong, and nobody writes young teenage protagonists better than Vaughan, he just does a great job of making each Paper Girl different and unique, and somebody that you root for. I loved the art in WW and I'm very happy to see Chiang continuing work in a new series that I just discovered I loved. There's nothing wrong with this book, at all. It's a wild ride that just continues to keep you guessing at every page.

    It can be accessed by young teens, sure. Absolutely. But as a 29 year old man I didn't feel awkward or weird reading this. The age and gender of these girls offer no detriment to the story. Maybe it's because at that age I, too, was a paper carrier. But I loved this book. 5/5 without question.

    The early morning after Halloween I'm guessing, four paper girls meet up delivering the next day's edition when they simply stumble upon and the in turn get sucked into some weird science fiction/paranormal s*** that is hard to explain but fun to read about. It's just a party of bright colors, interesting twists, new ideas in the familiar world of time travel and science fiction. You can't ask for a better comic. Buy it now.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2020

    I will be getting volume 2.
    Volume 1 is a headfirst dive into a 1980's era small town that is possibly being invaded by... aliens? time travelers? monsters? The story is told from the point of view of 4 girls who deliver newspapers throughout their neighborhoods. References to the 80's are present, but not obnoxiously so. The story in volume 1 gives you just enough to get invested and want to move on to volume 2. There is a considerable amount of wordless pages, which lend to a feeling that the story moves a bit too quickly. The art in volume 1 is exceptional. The color work and character design are exactly what I want from a comic book. More realistic than an Archies comic, but not photo-realistic.
    I only gave the comic 4 stars because of the aforementioned wordless pages. I don't have a problem with wordless comics, but in this instance it did seem to make the story go by too quickly. I also am not a fan of "the other f-word" as they say in the book. The slur used for gay people. It is clear that person using it is not meant to be correct for using it, but I feel like it could have been left out and the story would not have suffered.

    I won't really comment on the story, characters, plot, art, etc...
    Its all great. 5 stars.

    What I thought was very fun about this volume was the alien language.

    There is a review on the back of the book, the issue titles, and a decent amount of dialogue which are written in this language.

    Its just a simple cypher for English.
    Throughout the volume every letter but Z is used, along with periods, exclamation points, and question marks.
    (there are no apostrophes for contractions fyi)

    I started by decoding the review on the back...and that gave me several letters.
    Then I started with the dialogue and starting getting the rest of the letters pretty easily.

    Not that hard to decide but a very fun addition to the read.

    You don't HAVE to decode it.
    But you will miss out on the issue titles.
    And knowing the aliens dialogue adds to the story...especially toward the end of the volume. As there is a misunderstanding which will confuse you (like it confuses the girls).

    It might be fun to read it through without knowing he language...then decode it.
    Idk, I couldn't help but decode it right away.

    I don't really know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this. I was maybe expecting an 80s story with a sci-fi bent kinda like Stranger Things, and guess that is what it is but much more too.

    Quem acompanha quadrinhos adultos a alguns anos vai conhecer o nome de Brian Vaughan, um dos mais proeminentes escritores dos últimos anos, escreveu grandes obras para Vertigo como Y o Último ano, Ex Machina e a incrível Graphic Novel Leões de Bagdá.
    Ele já vem escrevendo pra Image Comics desde 2012 com a série Saga, vencedora de inúmeros prêmios, incluindo vários eisners, e se consagrando como uma das melhores e mais originais históriais sci-fis já escrita em quadrinhos e lançou em 2015/2016 uma mini série chamada We stand on guard com 6 números mensais que também trata da questão da ficção científica, mas de um modo muito mais brando, se passa à apenas 100 anos no futuro e trata-se de uma distopia canadense contra os EUA. Vale a pena procurar também.

    Agora, sobre Paper Girls, devo admitir que pelo currículo do autor estava esperando grandes coisas dessa publicação, e posso afirmar sem nenhum arrependimento que superou minhas expectativas. Focada em 4 garotas entre 12 e 13 anos que são entregadoras de jornais, a história se passa em 1988 no dia 1 de novembro, logo após a noite de halloween, eventos estranhos começam a acontecer na madrugada e pela manhã e essas 4 protagonistas são vistas no meio de uma grande "guerra" entre forças de um futuro distante ( ou não tanto assim). Envolvendo grandes questões como representatividade feminina nos quadrinhos, viagem no tempo, dramas emocionais e um toque de mistério à lá arquivo X, essa série com certeza tem muito a oferecer durante sua publicação, esse volume levanta muitas perguntas e algumas são respondidas em seu próprio interior enquanto que as maiores e mais problemáticas, naturalmente, serão desvendadas em momentos futuros. Cabe aqui uma parte para falar sobre a arte incrível de Cliff Chiang, devo dizer que li essa HQ logo após ler o volume 1 de Mulher - Maravilha - Sangue que o desenhista também faz parte e posso afirmar que se você gostou da arte dele lá aqui ela está 10x melhor. Acho que a colorização em Mulher Maravilha não fez valer a arte dele... enquanto que aqui a mistura da arte mais as cores de Matt Wilson realmente criam a atmosfera perfeita para a HQ.

    Se você está procurando uma boa história sobre viagem no tempo, mistérios, protagonistas badasses e toques de humor com drama, essa publicação é indispensável. Brian Vaughan nos mostra novamente como ele é um dos maiores escritores de quadrinhos do século 21, e caminhando para ser um dos melhores de todos os tempos.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome 80s nostalgia meets sci-fi
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 12, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    My new found love of graphic novels has got me working my way through the catalogue of Image Comics because at this moment in time they have all my favourites series such as Saga and The Walking Dead. Now that list includes Paper Girls, an awesome eighties nostalgia sci-fi read.

    Set in the late eighties, the story follows four 12 going on 42 paper delivery girls (Erin, Mac, Tiffany and KJ) as they go about their morning delivering the news, but it is not just any morning.

    We meet them on the 1st November, the morning after Halloween, the four girls have grouped together as there is quite frankly a lot of weirdos and cops wandering about in the wee small hours but that is the least of their worries.

    One of the girls has their walkie talkie stolen by some ghost looking dudes and not being 'fraid of shit they find themselves in hot pursuit of the culprits but they soon find themselves out of their depths as they descend in to a basement (oh no...) of an empty house (...this spells disaster really have they not seen any eighties horror movie?) and find (...crazy dude with a hockey mask?) a huge tarp covered object.

    WTF?!

    Of course curiosity gets the better of them and they whip of the tarp and discover what looks like a crazy ass time machine. No sooner than the tarp is off loud noises and a bright light find them running for lives. Outside they find themselves once more in hot pursuit, the ghost guys who stole the walkie are right there, the girls attack and what they find under the costumes has them reeling in horror.

    The ghost guys manage to flee but they leave behind an object, a tiny square with an apple on it, y'know an Apple on it, these ghost guys are not from 1988 and if they aren't from the 80's then where the hell are they from?

    From here on things go from bad to worse but I'll end up spoiling it for you, the girls find themselves in mortal danger and they also find themselves alone but again spoilers!

    Papers Girls is awesome, these four girls are street smart, wise mouth, sassy kids and the portrayal of them is spot on plus the eighties references are brilliant with everything from the Wrath of Khan, MacGyver and Peggy Sue got married. It looks brilliant too, lots of purples, pinks and blues make up the novel, which considering it is set during early morning is perfect.

    Volume 2 comes out in a few weeks and I'm looking forward to it as the ending of this volume is a total WTF moment, it is the perfect blend of eighties nostalgia, a buddy movie and time travel sci fi craziness.

    Also yes the cover features a twelve year old smoking, don't smoke kids, this is only a comic!!

    Paper Girls = fricking awesome!
