JIM MAHFOOD (Tank Girl, Clerks) debuts his first new creator-owned work in years with the glorious return of GRRL SCOUTS! Join Gwen, Daphne, and Rita as they reunite for a pulse-pounding psychedelic adventure through the streets of Freak City. This first issue is stuffed to the gills with an action-packed story, bonus art, soundtrack, sketchbook, and a behind-the-scenes comic thingy. Plus, a variant cover by the one and only SKOTTIE YOUNG! Pure fun! Pure flavor!
Chaotic visuals and punk sensibilities. Get some! Read Full Review
This is a fantastic issue that's definitely for anyone who's a fan of this kind of really busy, gritty, but vibrant artwork. The storyline is a bit crazy and unrealistic, but that's kind of the point of the book"to get into another reality. It's a really immersive book that I have such high hopes for. If you like the sound of it, make sure to grab a copy at your local comic book shop! Read Full Review
A high-octane neon-drenched acid trip that feels like an underground punk zine, "Grrl Scouts" is unlike anything else out there. Read Full Review
Creator and Writer Jim Mahfood (Generation X Underground Special, Clerks) does a charming job showing the seedy underbelly of the drug scene, with harmonious tidbits from the strip clubs. Mix in Justin Stewart's (Jesus Hates Zombies, Miami Vice Remix) coloring and lettering with a dash of Carmen Acosta's (Henchgirl, Young Justice) design expertise and you're in for one helluva ride. Enjoy!!! And tune in for issue #2 to see what's up with those damn socks. Read Full Review
I love when I find a book that comes out of nowhere, a book that I have no concept of before I start reading. I feel like I've been getting more and more of them recently, especially from Image. They are consistently putting out the kind of books I gravitate toward, and Grrl Scouts: Magic Socks is definitely another one of them. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will now seek out more of Mahfood's work. Read Full Review
An obvious spiritual descendent of Tank Girl and respectfully so. A wild thrill ride that is unrestrained and unapologetic. Truly an acolyte of gonzo psychedelia. As your attorney, I advise you to take more art. Read Full Review
