Lumberjanes
issues 1-6 Review
From the
publisher: “Jo, April, Mal, Molly and Ripley are five best pals determined to
have an awesome summer together...and they’re not gonna let any insane quest or
an array of supernatural critters get in their way! Not only is it the second
title launching in our new BOOM! Box imprint but LUMBERJANES is one of those
punk rock, love-everything-about-it stories that appeals to fans of basically
all excellent things.”
For an all
ages comic about being a scout this is maddeningly addictive! The artwork is
gorgeous. The LGBT subplot is well executed. The plot becomes nonsensical at
times though which can be a major problem. This is probably to appeal to a
younger audience but it still feels a touch forced. The series works mostly
because of the group dynamic between the loveable cast of characters. In
conclusion I would say read at the very least the first issue to see if this is
up your alley. If you enjoy series with LGBT elements and a strong core cast
this series will be hard to beat!
