This was so hecking good and cute!! I love me some girl vigilantes, especially when they're part of a fight club that solves crimes and fights for the oppressed. Also, I love me some shit set in the 90s, despite being a 00s kid.

The characters are so lovable and I just want to hang out with each and every one of them. Actually, I just want to work with them, even though I would be a terrible vigilante. And they're relationships, whether romantic or platonic, were also so adorable.

Also, this was just really fun. The dialogue was funny but never too try-hard and the action was great (I would've loved a bit more, but I'm not too torn up about it).

I don't know how they do it, but BOOM! consistently puts out stuff that I love. I really hope that this continues so I can see the friendships and romances develop more and these cool ladies kick more ass.
