Book Reviews of Tank Girl (v. 1)
Book Review: Tank Girl is my hero
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the best... Tank Girl is my hero. The characters are fabulous, and the dialouge is terrific. There are a thousand little one liners that had me in stitches. There isn't any well developed plot to speak of, but I think a having a plot would totally kill the joy of Tank Girl. It's really low brow humor at it's finest. Everything from the opening story to the Tank Girl monolouges -- it's wonderful.Book Review: witty absurd and fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
Beautiful art meets great writings. Of course, if one prefers to flog a dead horse of superheroes it could seem "pointless", but this comicbook book classic is still able to broaden any reader's horison - and bring bucketloads of fun!!!Book Review: The Very Essence of Awesomeness
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one case in which it's okay to judge a book by its cover. Seriously, the most amazing comic I have ever read, the very definition of awesome.Book Review: LOVED the comic!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this comic! I want to see more women depicted this way in comics. Why aren't more out there like this?Book Review: The Symbol for the British Counterculture of the 90's
Summary: 4 Stars
Tank Girl was more than some British indie comic book creation. She was a proverbial slap in the face to virtually everything mainstream. That is, of course, until she herself became a sellout (ahh Hollywood). This book represents the beginning of her golden age with Martin and Hewlett (now of Gorillaz fame) at the helm. She's raunchy, she's violent, she's strangely sexy and she gives new meaning to "girl power." While you may need urbandictionary.com to find out the meaning of all the British slang the authors use, and some gags relate to events of the early 90's - and are thus outdated, Tank Girl still holds up incredibly well after nearly fifteen years. This is a must read for anyone who loves indie comics and/or period peices with an insight into a particularly rebellious subculture of the last decade.
