Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Very Essence of AwesomenessThis is one case in which it's okay to judge a book by its cover. Seriously, the most amazing comic I have ever read, the very definition of awesome. Rating: - LOVED the comic!I loved this comic! I want to see more women depicted this way in comics. Why aren't more out there like this. Rating:  - comic anarchytank girl is the chronicles of a post apocalyptic beer-swilling punk-chic tank commander and the crew of misfits shes friends with. the motley crew includes, jet girl and sub girl, booga (tank girl's mutant kangaroo boyfriend), and stevie the surfer aborigonee. the art is really wild and imaginative but somewhat uneven, sometimes its really good and sometimes the characters look extremely crudely drawn. the plot is nonexistant and the comic relies heavily on slapstick, swearing, booze and extreme violence coupled with silliness, but it works. its a genre piece aimed at hipsters and punk kids but i like it. Rating: - Fun readTank Girl is the name of a female survivour who travels around in the post apocalyptic Australia. On her adventurers she runs into various odd fellows(In this book she even meets the devil!) The comic is rarely takes itself serious, and the artwork is pretty fun to look at.

She was a proverbial slap in the face to virtually everything mainstream. That is, of course, until she herself became a sellout (ahh Hollywood). This book represents the beginning of her golden age with Martin and Hewlett (now of Gorillaz fame) at the helm. She's raunchy, she's violent, she's strangely sexy and she gives new meaning to "girl power." While you may need urbandictionary.com to find out the meaning of all the British slang the authors use, and some gags relate to events of the early 90's - and are thus outdated, Tank Girl still holds up incredibly well after nearly fifteen years. This is a must read for anyone who loves indie comics and/or period peices with ... Read More: |
