Friendship to the max! Jo, April, Mal, Molly and Ripley are five best pals determined to have an awesome summer together...and they’re not gonna let any insane quest or an array of supernatural critters get in their way! Not only is it the second title launching in our new BOOM! Box imprint but LUMBERJANES is one of those punk rock, love-everything-about-it stories that appeals to fans of basically all excellent things. It’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Gravity Falls and features five butt-kicking, rad teenage girls wailing on monsters and solving a mystery with the whole world at stake. And with the talent of acclaimed cartoonist Noelle Stevenson, talented newcomer Grace Ellis writing, and Brooke Allen on art, this is going to be a spectacular series that you won’t want to miss. Collects Lumberjanes #1-#4.
Initial thoughts: When I picked up Lumberjanes I expected the same style of art as on the cover. But nope. That was not the case. The cover illustrator and graphic novel illustrator were two different artists. So that was misleading. I very much prefer the style for the cover. Although, the actual artwork does kinda suit the tone, so I got over my initial disappointment. Story-wise, I'm waiting for Lumberjanes to take off more, though I like that there's always something lurking around the next corner.
