Black Nerd Problems - Jordan Calhoun
Jun 07, 2018The girls are all reunited, plus the addition of future-Tiff, and they're closer than they've ever been to the answers they — and readers — have been searching for. I don't expect them to come as easy, so look for a bad-luck curveball to keep some secrets safe, but we're going to take another big leap forward in the plot come issue #22. Overall, Paper Girls continues to be the fastest read I cover. There's no other comic that pulls me to the last page so fast that it feels like I just started. It's suspenseful, smart, and wildly creative. Now more than ever, emphasis on 'wildly creative.' Read Full Review

Jun 06, 2018Does this issue jump the shark just a tiny bit? Probably. Does that stop it from being a genuinely great comic? Absolutely not. Read Full Review

I really loved this issue, as the girls try to get a grip on where and when they have been transported. These first issues of a new arc strike some as too slow, but I actually really enjoy the way this team segued to this new locale. I found the art with classic Cleveland buildings dwarfed by futuristic marvels really cool. And I liked the banter between the characters. The ending of the story pulls something interesting in what I'm sure will be a major conflict in the group: can Mac save herself, and will it happen at the expense of the other characters ever returning home? Vaughan and Chiang kill it every single month, and to me, this is a great intro to the new story arc.

Still one of my favorite comics on the market. Continues to be fun, complex and weird as hell. I love it

It's always great to read this book again. The first chapter of a new story arc is always a bit slower, as it introduces the new time period the cast is at, and it's completely justifiable. A. lot of things in this issue teased some things to come in this arc and I am very excited about it.
