Nice blog.

A tripfag with an attitude, good lord

I bought 15 issues of this book and haven't read a single one. What is wrong with me.

Shut up and kys me

I know it's supposed to be like thousands or a million years into the past or future but the idea of 12 year olds giving birth and KJ and Mac being lesbian felt really awkward and fucked up. I mean they're KIDS for christ's sake.

I hope there's a payoff to this.

>So yeah I had my hopes up in the beginning and was left disappointed with the recent issues

This is the exact experience I had with Saga. Completely stopped giving a shit by about the third trade. Really enjoyed the first trade of Paper Girls too and I've been avoiding the rest because I was worried it would go the same way

At the time I was getting weary of Saga, and another series by Brian K. Vaughn after "We Stand On Guard-bage wasn't the most attractive idea. Did I dodge a bullet? Is there any substance to this series? Or does it start off strong then just slowly die off with each issue?

I think so, BKV's quality has really gone down in the last years, I hold him to a high standard after Y and Ex Machina. I kept up with Paper Girls until issue #12-ish, and it's never been really excellent. A few issues have shined, and his character work is good enough but the pacing is sloppy. He is also very clearly writing for the trade but even then it's not a satisfying read.

I really enjoyed it, but I read everything that's come out so far in about two sittings. It's written for the trade, a problem he seems to excel at. It's definitely a BKV twisted take on an 80's Amblin kids movie kind of deal. And I like that. There's some things that almost come off as self indulgent hipster, but he usually finds odd ways to turn them on their head just enough to keep it from being really bad in that regard.

These hiatus's are probably going to kill it for me though. When it comes back I'm not going to remember who's who at all.

It was like 15 thousands years ago or something man. The first groups inhabiting North America. That kind of rape gang thing was weird. No society can be built on that. Somebody getting pregnant that young seems to make sense for an incredibly primitive culture. The kids are like 14ish, right? A primitive culture would probably treat it as once a female is capable of bearing a child, it's fine.

And the girls may be only 14ish, but that's young enough to figure out they may have the gay.

So Vaughan may be pushing some things a bit on ages, but nothing so far as to make it seem wrong to me.
