Princeless, Vol. 1: Save Yourself
by Jeremy Whitley
Meh. It was all right. I like what it's trying to do, but I just wish they'd focused more on telling a good story instead of constantly popping in to remind you that this is a /feminist/ story, you guys, and wow, look how feminist, and hey, did you notice us being feminist just there?
I'm not against the princess rescuing herself. Heck, I'm all for it. And the chapter on Sexism in the Armor Industry is the exact rant that I've been making for quite some time (why the heck would you run off into battle with all your vital organs unprotected?). But the Message of the Story was just so obvious and heavy handed that it kind of took away some of the enjoyment. It wasn't telling me anything I hadn't heard before, you know?
I don't know. I guess it's supposed to get better. Good idea, just clumsily executed. Two stars.
