I wanted to like this book but the homophobia, ableism and antisemitism was too much. I know it’s set in the 80s but it wasn’t written in the 80s and it’s just unnecessary.

I'm an 80's baby, plus this was set in the suburbs of Cleveland, which for me may have given me a little more bias because just like Brian Vaughan I grew up in the suburbs near Cleveland.
I love the artwork and that this is about 4 girls just trying to do job when weirdness begins. The 80's references bring back nostalgia and the sci-fi is awesome. Is it confusing, it might be, but I enjoyed it and am excited to read more.

Having become a fan of Brian K. Vaughan's world-building, adventure-building, and pathos-building (lots of building with that guy; he conducts THE clinic on great story-telling) in Saga, I wanted to give Paper Girls a whirl too. So glad I did. I've read volumes 1-3 of the collected books so far, and much like Saga, the story grows more complex and creative as it goes. This tale follows four 12-year-old girls who deliver the newspaper in their Cleveland subdivision and one morning encounter a series of ever more strange beings and objects until they realize two warring factions of time travelers are vying for their attention and assistance. If you enjoyed Saga (so far), then this series will be up your alley.
