Mmmmeh. This is my second Tank Girl, and I came away feeling much the same: whatever. It looks great on (figurative) paper: 1990s, Australian riot grrrl, influenced in equal parts by Mad Max and gutter punk (or maybe I mean crustie) aesthetics. Yo, I'm down with all of this in theory. I'm also down with clever classical references to Odysseus et al. - which this book has loads of - and with smug/clever fourth-wall breaking. But, in practice, actually reading it, I was just like... meh.
One good thing: it did spur me to re-Google this old doc about 13 year old riot grrrls in California. Amazing!
