Really cool comic, I found it a bit confusing at times though. 
The art style was amazing and the characters were really cool!!!

Love this!! The Stand by Me set up of a group of kids figuring out a mystery together is a classic, but the twists and scope for Paper Girls take it to a whole new level. I also really like the fact that the Erin, Mac, KJ, and Tiff are all 12 instead of 16-19. The age range completely changes the girls’ dynamics and priorities, and everyone should get to have world-changing science fiction adventures no matter their age. Can’t wait to read the next one!

Interesting concept that seems to involve time travel with beautiful, colorful art. However, I found the plot moved too quickly for me to get really attached to the story and characters. I might read the next volume?

The art is so grotesque and detailed, and I’m intrigued enough by the mystery  to continue reading. Love that the main cast is all teen girls, however it’s a little strange that the author is a man. The homophobia and antisemitism were unnecessary.
