Book Reviews of Tank Girl (v. 1)Book Review: Enjoyable Summary: 4 Stars
The only real issue I had with this book was that some of the font in the text bubbles were hard to read, a better script could have been used here and there, but overall Tank Girl is a solid and entertaining graphic novel with quirky humor - it's not for everyone - and a worthy part of any graphic novel fan's collection.
Book Review: comic anarchy Summary: 3 Stars
tank girl is the chronicles of a post apocalyptic beer-swilling punk-chic tank commander and the crew of misfits shes friends with. the motley crew includes, jet girl and sub girl, booga (tank girl's mutant kangaroo boyfriend), and stevie the surfer aborigonee. the art is really wild and imaginative but somewhat uneven, sometimes its really good and sometimes the characters look extremely crudely drawn. the plot is nonexistant and the comic relies heavily on slapstick, swearing, booze and extreme violence coupled with silliness, but it works. its a genre piece aimed at hipsters and punk kids but i like it.
Book Review: Fun read Summary: 3 Stars
Tank Girl is the name of a female survivour who travels around in the post apocalyptic Australia. On her adventurers she runs into various odd fellows(In this book she even meets the devil!) The comic is rarely takes itself serious, and the artwork is pretty fun to look at. Many small funny details.
Book Review: Pointless and Sloppy. Summary: 2 Stars
Cute art by Jamie Hewlett can't offset the awful writing of Alan Martin. The stories themselves are pointless and meandering, and the "Brit-icisms" mostly went right over my head. Tank Girl herself is cute, and the adventures of the foul-mouthed, beer-swilling, Kangaroo-shagging minx roaming the futuristic Aussie Outback are fun at times, but mostly just pointless and sloppy. I'm kicking myself not only for buying THIS, but for buying Volume 2 before I read 1.
