Veronica Fish’s art in Slam! was fantastic and really added a lot to the comic. Pamela Ribon’s storytelling, however, was lackluster. The characters were hard to connect to and were very flat and the plot was almost nonexistent. It was a confusing and disappointing read. I had high expectations because I love roller derby, so maybe that made it easier to be let down. I will read the second volume sometime in the future to see if it improves.
