"Paper Girls" #15 is an almost breezy, yet highly satisfying read. Outstanding color work, great illustrations and snarky dialogue combine to make it a series high point. Read Full Review
Overall, Paper Girls #15 continues KJ's turn at stardom, and is perhaps the baton pass to another one of the girls who ends up in an interesting situation by the issue's end. The pacing is great, walking the line between telling us very little in any explicit terms, but offering enough to keep us guessing and invested. If you've been on Paper Girls for some time now you expect unpredictable craziness without much question — you're comfortable with the discomfort of not knowing. It isn't the most friendly series for newcomers, so if you're late to the party — first, where have you been? — but second, start from the beginning. This comic is worth every minute of your time, because there's no other story quite like this one. Read Full Review
The third arc of Paper Girls focused on giving K.J. a strong narrative, a character that hadn't had enough spotlight up to this point. Paper Girls #15 is propelled by some great characterization that gives K.J. multiple shining moments as she passes the narrative baton to Tiffany's character for the series' fourth story arc. While some readers may grit their teeth at the lack of closure, hopefully this shift in narrative and setting will give readers more answers regarding the world of Paper Girls. Read Full Review
Just when things looked like they were starting to come together, Paper Girls pulls a, well, Paper Girls. Read Full Review
The next issue is in October. With this cliffhanger. This is going to be a long wait.
Not much is resolved here in the conclusion to the third arc of "Paper Girls," which should really stand as no surprise. This book is still enjoyable, but this third arc didn't resonate with me in the same way as the first two (especially the 2nd, which was so good) did. Perhaps because of the pre-historic setting. But the conclusion of this issue offers an interesting set-up for the next arc; of course I'm on board for some Y2K action!
