Lumberjanes vol. 1
by Noelle Stevenson
Overall Rating: 4/5
Plot: 5/5
Characters: 4/5
Writing: 4/5
Nothing like a rousing summer spent out of doors! Especially when you're being attacked by three-eyed foxes, exploring secret caves, and discovering all the wild wackiness of Miss Qiunzilla Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's camp for hard-core lady-types. The LumberJanes are a diverse group of girls who can't seem to stay out of trouble. And what trouble they get into!
I think I'm in love with Stevenson's art style. Her characters are ethnically, physically, sexually, and personally diverse people who live in a world that doesn't make sense, even when the supernatural elements are coming out of the woodwork. She has a fantastic, subtle style to coloring those characters and it's obvious that they care about each other in ways that none of them can fully explain. Except they're friends and friends do for each other.
I can barely wait for the next volume. I'm on pins and needles.
