Mal and Molly just want to get back to their friends, but things are looking more dire by the minute. It's going to be a crazy dash through this weird mixed-up world as they try to not only find a working portal, but one that will take them back to camp!
April gets a bit frantic trying to destroy the competition, but Jo suggests that the reason they haven't earned a badge yet is because they've been trying to win. They end up going for quality over quantity, and it" doesn't work. They still lose. Poor April. But they're then reunited with Mal and Molly, as well as the Bear Woman, and while this arc has been fun, I'm happy they're all together again. This group is just so delightful, and they complement each other so well. While I'm excited to see how Mal and Molly's relationship develops, I'm all about friendship to the max. Read Full Review
Reviewing Lumberjanes is hard because all that really needs to be said is that you need to set aside whatever excuse you've made for NOT reading it and just read it. Read Full Review
So where does the story go from here? I don't know, but I can't wait to find out! Things have picked up steam and I know it should be something good. Read Full Review
By staying true to itself, honest with its emotions, and constantly embracing its own weirdness, “Lumberjanes” #12 proves again that this is one of the most charming, fun, important, and engaging comics Boom!Box is putting out right now. I'm always disappointed when one issue ends and can't wait for the next one to begin. Read Full Review
Lumberjanes #12 finishes up this arc and there is a lot going on. It looks really cute and there are merit badges. Read Full Review
Despite adding little overall plot in this second proper arc, this issue achieved lots of great foundation needed for what is still a very young book. Once again a very fun issue with promise of much more to come. Read Full Review
The Lumberjanes team has created a beautifully illustrated and clearly written comic book dedicated to opening the minds of everyone, child and adult alike, to aspects of life that have been lost to most of us. It’s a smooth and fast read, as well as a fun time with some cool girls. Read Full Review
Art wise, Carolyn Nowak remainsa greatfill-in for seriesregular Brooke Allen, with Maarta Laiho's colours providing a neat sense of continuity. Crazy chase sequences are handled with the same aplomb as the Lumberjanes hanging out in one of the camp's cabins. The writing, too, seems to be getting better and better: less busy/more snappy, less silly/more thoughtful. Overall,Lumberjanes #12 continues the tradition of friendship, fun and summer camp magic, and that's more than okay with me. Read Full Review
