When I heard about Lumberjanes, I was *super* excited. I love fun, empowering stories for young women, and I like recommending them to the young women in my life.
But for me, this was not a personal favorite. I would be willing to bet that there are others who read this and LOVED it, but I was not that person. I felt there was a huge disconnect between the art and the content that made me wonder for whom Stevenson is writing. The art makes this graphic novel feel oriented for younger teens who like manga. Yet there are so.many.references to things from the 1980s and 1990s, like "What the Joan Jett?", "What's the story, Wishbone?", and "I could teach you. But I'd have to charge." For a young person who's a huge pop culture junkie of the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s, this would probably be funny. But it made me feel like this book came from a Gen-Xer writing for Gen-Xers. And that's okay. So then write for Gen-Xers and make the art less childish.
There felt like a potential love story or coming-out story arc that really intrigued me, but the fighting-evil-creatures hijinks overshadowed any character development. And that disappointed me, too. But maybe that will take place in the next volume??? One can hope.
I should probably also mention that in middle school and high school, I was not the brash, badass, jump-into-caves-simply-because-I-can type. I was mousy and bookish. So the too-cool-for-school-and-rules kind of kids in literature just don't always do it for me. That's a personal taste issue. Like I said, I bet a lot of people would really enjoy this graphic novel.

This was an interesting graphic novel!
I picked this one up after reading 'Nimona' by Noelle Stevenson - which I loved!! After reading 'Nimona', I felt that it would be hard to find another graphic novel to reach its standard...and I was kind of right. Although I enjoyed the Lumberjanes, I enjoyed Nimona far more.
The ending is making me want to carry on with this series. I don't think I would have carried on if it didn't finish with a cliffhanger like that - I am intrigued to see where this series is going.
I did like the girl scout aspect of this graphic novel and I liked that every character was different and had their own unique style and personality. I didn't find myself becoming attached to any particular character, however, the personality of Ripley added some humour.
Although the artwork inside wasn't done by Noelle Stevenson (the front cover was) it was still beautiful and I really liked the different artwork pages at the end which showed the characters drawn in many different perspectives by different people. Issue one Challengers Comics Exclusive by Kali Ciesemier was my favourite - stunning!
Overall this was an interesting graphic novel and I am interested to pick up the second issue to find out what mysteries lie ahead.

I think I'm just too old and cranky for this book. I know a lot of it was supposed to be funny, but it was meh for me. By the end of the book I had a very good sense of who Ripley was, I knew that Mal was timid, April was the alpha female and Jo was her smart second in command, and that was about it. Molly... can shoot a bow and has a crush on Mal. Lots of running away, falling down, and action almost too quick to focus on.

Love love love Lumberjanes. This series is just fun and silly adventure. Whimsical art, diverse cast, several laugh out loud moments, and at once feels both unique and welcoming. It has enough action to entertain, but violence is kept mostly slapstick in nature. Kids and parents will likely be amused too, there's nary a "bad word" in sight, instead with phrases like "What the junk" and "Oh my Janis Joplin" filling in the exclamations of surprise/frustration/etc.

It’s cute. The humor is there. The plot is detached- like you just go with it.
Lumberjanes is a great comic, a great story. The characters are distinct, the story is intriguing and the artwork is excellent. Readers will finish volume 1 wanting more, and maybe a little nostalgic for their own camp days.
