I bought the collection after I watched the first season of the Wynonna Earp TV show, which I really liked.
But I was quite disappointed from reading this one. Here Wynonna is a huge boobed cheesecake blonde sexist image of a woman. It's really sad to see those depictions of women in comics of the 90s. The final third of the collection gets better. Wynonna has a more normal body and it's coverbed by normal clothes. You can totally see the difference between this story from 2011 and the earlier ones.

I'll try to get my hands on recent Earp comics to see how the character is treated nowadays.

I knew next to nothing about Faith and the valiant/harbinger universe, but I immediatly fell in love with her. She's one of those who try to make it work for everyone. But even with superpowers that's not possible. I really liked how all the tropes concerning fat people were left out and she was just portrayed as a (super)human being. And of course I enjoyed all the popcultural references :)

Looking forward to reading Volume 2!

This isn't just a story about a girl gang.
This is a story about friendship.
This is a story about sisterly love.
This is a story about fighting back.
This is a story about not backing down, but standing your ground.
This is a story about not giving up and that this means getting hurt a lot of times.

The art is just liked the story - rough, raw and reckless. This is not for the light hearted. This is full of blood, guts and gore. This is a desatuared colored version of a 70s blaxplotation and 80s action movies mashup.
Much like bitch planet, this is femplotation.

This is a great book.

liked it, but didn't blow my mind.

nice little eco science fiction story with gorgues art and colouring. the art style is a great mixture of eastern and western style with a lean more to the east. The watercolouring supports the dreamy and philosophical atmosphere, still, the strong narrative prevents boredome.

It's a graphic novel, so it's all in one book. However there is a shared universe with other stories of other creative teams coming.

A ton of Batman short stories, all in different styles and voices and all in black and white! Of course, not every single one of those is my cup of tea but I liked most of them.

One thing that bugs me though: Out of over 30 creators, only 3 are women. :(

I liked the Volume 0 of A-Force (warzones), which was part of battleworld. Now battleworld is gone but someone of that world still exists or rather still remembers.

this book is about bringing women together who are not friendss (yet) to fight against a greater threat. yes this isn't a new story idea, but I still liked it. It's G. Willow Wilson, so you know you get diverse and interesting characters.

I admit, the solution and cliffhanger at the end was a bit too "easy" but all in all this book is a great set up and I'm eager to know where they will take this team.

A-Force, Re-Assemble!

this is an interesting book about guilt. it's also a murder thriller without any words. I liked it but it's a bit style over substance.
