I now have another favourite webcomic, thanks to Jennie Breeden's booth at the Calgary Comic Expo. I had heard of The Devils' Panties before, but never got around to reading it. After reading two pages of this book, I was sold.

The character of Jen is like secret me, so I giggled like crazy when I was reading it. I probably laugh as much reading The Devil's Panties as I do reading Dork Tower, and that's saying something.

I also loved the commentary included at the end of the book. It's so great to hear the stories behind the story.

The only part of the book that really didn't excite me was the undead series at the end that seemed to have no real tie to the rest of the book, other than being created by the author. Frankly, I found the real-life stuff much more interesting, though I did absolutely love the Undead Snoopy Dance.

I can't wait to put the rest of these books into my collection.

Note on my first re-read - the fairy princess is my favourite alter ego. And this is still my favourite book in the series so far (on to Vol 4!)

This was a lot of fun! I met the author at GenCon a couple of years ago and picked up volumes 1 and 2. Of course, being me, and having a wide array of books on my shelves already, I hadn't had a chance to check it out til now.

I really liked it. It's humorous, feminist, and still a tad offensive. I really liked reading about all of the characters adventures, namely into the world of fetish clubs and shitty jobs. And I nodded in complete understanding of Jen's absolute hatred of malls.

She and her roommates (Beth and DJ) work because despite their differences, they've got a lot of similar quirks. They have a fantastic bond formed and their friendship was just a breath of fresh air. I'm not usually one for contemporary stories, but they're sometimes fun to escape into.

I really dug the art style, though I have a feeling that the web comic itself is color even though this was black and white. It didn't take away from anything to me, but the author mentioned that the MC has red hair, and I was just like - cool cool?
