Tank Girl: Gold #1

Sep 27, 2016

The Tank Girl universe continues its revitalisation process with the beginning of the next series in the Alan Martin/Brett Parson collaboration era, Tank Girl: Gold. Following on directly from their last miniseries, Two Girls One Tank, published in four parts earlier this year and following the resurrection of the much-beloved Sub Girl, Tank Girl: Gold begins with the usual gang, Sub Girl's dead corpse, a malfunctioning submarine and a metric fuck ton of Nazi gold bullions.

Tank Girl: Two Girls, One Tank #1

May 18, 2016

Fans will be pleased to catch glimpses of Jet Girl and Sub Girl, albeit captured in photographs rather than physically appearing in the story. All in all, Two Girls One Tank has all the things you love about Tank Girl in it, but it also hints at a new era for Tank Girl, too. It definitely as something to offer old fans, and is a watertight introduction for younger generations who aren't familiar with the history of the character. Two Girls One Tank has a markedly different feel to it compared to the older comics. But I think that's a good thing for the canon. As the world evolves, Tank Girl and her shit-eating, no-fucks-giving-philosophy ought to evolve too. We've come a long way since Thatcher.

Tank Girl: Two Girls, One Tank #4

Aug 27, 2016

Once again the dynamic duo that is Parson and Martin deliver on another compelling instalment in the Tank Girl saga, and finish off this mini series with a heartbreaking but rousing conclusion. I have a feeling that the events of Two Girls One Tank will not be returned to for a long while – at least not in Martin's next series – but there is definitely a sense that Two Girls One Tank has left behind some unfinished business, and I'm in it for the long haul to find out where and how this series will be resolved.
