simonlorden 's review for:

Paper Girls, Vol. 1 by Brian K. Vaughan
2.0

okay, pro tip? if you want me to actually give a shit about a character, do NOT introduce them by having them call someone else a f***tt and an "AIDS patient" as an insult as their first two sentences. not even if it's called out by another character.

also, if you want me to give a shit about a graphic novel, don't do that in the first 20 pages, or better yet, at all.

I mean, I was kind of really unimpressed with the rest of the story as well (it was chaotic, nothing really made sense, and I don't think any of these girls act like they're 12), but that was a bad introduction and kinda ruined the whole thing pretty early.

I'm actually surprised I didn't like this because the concept sounds awesome and I dig time travel stories, but nah.
