Story
Once again this volumes provides a bunch of answers only to immediately create even more questions to take their place.
And now that I'm caught up with the trade paperbacks, I'll have to wait to find out what comes next. I'll definitely be picking up the next volume of this just as soon as I can borrow it from the library.
Artwork
Once again, the artwork is good, but the blue color tones overtake everything. I think after four volumes I'm starting to get used to it though.
2022: Reread after watching season one of the Paper Girls tv adaptation.
More fun references in this one include Star Trek/cloaking devices, “Come with me if you want to live.” (Terminator), and a Voltron reference.
BKV and company continue to own this. How are 4 dudes writing all these female characters so well? Take note, menfolk, it can be done.
While all the time-jumping is trippy and fun (and I am hyper-critical of time travel stories) it's the relationships between the girls that stands out and make this a 5 star series. I'm very intrigued by KJ's story and what it means to her friendships as well as new Tiffany joining the team ( for however briefly... I know how BKV stories go).
This series also does a great job at looking at generations, and I think it will appeals to a wide range of readers because of all the places we can connect to versions of ourselves and other people in our life. As Charlotte says, we are all traveling through time.
