This is a fun sci-fi adventure comic that tends to really get to the pain of nostalgia in a way that shows like Stranger Things seem to use nostalgia on a more superficial level. The four paper girls are a likeable diverse group of characters with individual personalities and great dynamics.

This series really reads completely differently in trade, maybe because after issue one i switched to digital, but it definitely has a better flow to the story collected and in print. the $10 price tag on this book should really draw in any uncertain potential readers, because Image knows how to hook you into trade waiting for a new series. this book is gorgeous- cliff chiang's art is amazing, and i talked about BKV's writing in Walking Dead: The Alien- i love Saga and Paper Girls and i loved his Walking Dead story, too! this book has so many moving parts, and so few of them get really revealed in the first trade, it is going to keep you coming back for more in volume 2. and the last page reveal of the book is almost as big of a reveal as t more

The art and style of this hooked me. I love every frame, every color, and the visual design is some of the best work I've seen. The characters are also hilarious, real, tinged with complex ideas, and identifiable. So why 3 stars? The story. The world Vaughan built is creative yet filled with tropes and ideas he already explored in Saga. The complete randomness of the word in Paper Girls would be appealing if we hadn't seen a lot of the ideas in Saga already. That said, I love the art and characters SOOOO MUCH. I may press on... Or may not.
