Lumberjanes: To The Max Edition, Vol. 1 by Grace Ellis, ND Stevenson, Shannon Watters

5.0

I read the first 4 issues of this last year and thought I enjoyed it then. This story absolutely shines when it's read in its true form with all 8 issues together. For one, it makes a lot more sense. I'm not sure if it's because I read the first half before, but I feel like I caught more references (ex. "Holy bell hooks!") and noticed subtleties in the art and what's actually happening in the panels.

I still stand by my original observation that it feels very cartoon-like. This just seems like it was taken off of a TV screen and put into comic form. I also still love how positive it is for lady-types. It's smart, funny, and empowering. I can't resist a good mythology reference so this also wins points for that.
I can't wait to read more!
