Paper Girls, Vol. 1

I'm a huge fan of Saga, and I wanted to try a new series on Free Comic Book Day when everything was on sale. I heard the hype about Vaughan's new work, and I don't think it was overestimated at all. Paper Girls is eerie, unsettling, and fascinating. It takes place in what appears to be a near future, but a lot is left unclear and adds to the haunting feeling of the story and art. The heroes, for paper delivery girls who have to be seriously hardcore to do their job, are all great examples of complex kids, being forced into adult roles and decisions. I'm eager to pick up the next volume.
