5.0

The focus was heavily on the characters’ relationships and development. Having agreed to work together, they need to figure out what that looks like—what their goals are and how to achieve them.

Seeing this group of women with different histories, different priorities, and different views come together to become a family and work together was a delight. I love them all. While the story and what they’re fighting for is important and driving the plot, it is them as people that drives the heart of the story.

And the art. The art. The way the tones and colours change with the mood of the scene. The use of text outside of speech. The exquisite composition and showcasing of negative space. The comical faces in brawls and shocking moments. Pan’s sparkly rainbow jumpsuit! Scottie’s freckles!!
