So from what I can tell it's like Stranger Things but with

>>88297918
Have you not read it? Aside from swearing children riding bikes it's not all that similar.

Someone storytime or I riot!

>>88297940
Not read a single page. That's what I'm asking.

This article made it seem like Stranger Things:
>"Paper Girls" (No. 4 is out Jan. 6 through Image Comics) is set in 1988 and follows a gang of 12-year-old girls on their predawn paper route. But these aren't the kinds of girls with sparkly streamers dangling from their handlebars. Instead, they prefer a hockey stick for protection, walkie-talkies and the occasional smoke. They're a formidable group, and that's before the time travelers drop out of the sky to disrupt their route.

Do you like it?

>>88297918
>It was top 10 in Graphic Novels sold in the last month
Like many other bad books.

>>88297918
It's good but NOTHING like Stranger Things, like outside of being about little kids in the 80s (at first) it's shares nothing with it

>>88297978
>a gang of 12-year-old girls on their predawn paper route
Did such things exist in 88?

>>88297978
Why would you make a thread with all these assumptions instead of just reading an issue?

I was loving it until I had to move and give up getting comics. Maybe I should find copies of the issues since.

Oh shit. I should maybe get the trade for my friend who keeps telling me I need to see Stranger Things.

I don't know what childhood you had that a 12 year old smoking is shocking to you but other than that Paper Girls is one lf the best comics published right now by a wide margin. Ther is a fascinating sci fi mystery underlying the entire thing but what truly hits it out of the park is that the girls are the best ensemble cast in comics (at least now that Rat Queens is on hiatus) and amazingly Brian K. Vaughn writes adolescent girls so convincingly you would never guess he's a grown man.

So yeah, Paper Girls is one of the prime examples of why Image is the best publisher in America.

Vaughan needs to lay off the goddamn mystery already. It's been, what, twelve issues? and I still have no idea how many different sides there are to this time travel fight or what any of their plans are. Obviously I can tell that someone wants to get rid of the girls and someone doesn't, but I have no idea who or why, or even what that would entail for either side.

And yes, I know that's intentional because the girls don't know anything either. And I know that things will eventually become clear, and it might even be satisfying then. But right now, it feels like the protagonists are just ping-ponging from one place to another, being pushed around by threats that arise for no discernible reason, and sometimes getting into fights with time cops and monsters for no other reason *except* to get into fights with time cops and monsters.

I can only withstand the blue balls for so long, Vaughan!

They're noted in the first issue for being some of the first, and noteworthily unusual.

I loved it from the twist at the end of the first issue. I really felt like that 80s speilberg/king vibe

Then maybe you should read it instead of expecting people to spoon feed you?

Why doesn't /co/ read comics anymore? Honest question here. I'm actually baffled by this.

Do you actually think a character's viewpoints always reflect the author's?

It's set in the '80s and her dad's saying there's no future in print, which hasn't quite panned out yet.

I was doing a paper route in Northern California in 1988, a suburb pretty far from SF - so it was by no means liberal. I mean, we had dairy farms and stuff like that right outside my town - and my town was a TOWN, with one high school for the entire area (including the rural road folks).

One of my fellow delivery 'boys' was a teenage Japanese girl who lived the next block over so she actually had to bike further from her home than I did for her deliveries.
