From the Publishers:
The multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning series from BRIAN K. VAUGHAN and CLIFF CHIANG continues, as newspaper deliverers Erin, Mac and Tiffany finally reunite with their long-lost friend KJ in an unexpected new era, where the girls must uncover the secret origins of time travel... or risk never returning home to 1988.
My thoughts:
This is volume 3 of a series on newspaper delivery girls from 1988 who end up in different eras and need to try and find their way back to 1988. Therefore, it is a series, and I am sort of reading from the beginning/middle of it so nothing gets resolved. As the reader, you just try and absorb what is in this new place, who are the friendlies that might help them as well as who are the enemies. They seem to be in a different dimension even if it looks like they are in the past because of the cavewoman-ish indigenous warrior girl with the baby. I say she is in a different dimension because she is wearing technology and it is not unusual for this technology to come through a "poop" hole. There is also someone from the future (or at least after 1988).
This is a series for girls who love comics, and not the cutesy ones. This is actually a real niche and I have seen just as many females reading graphics series than males so if readers are interested in sci fi/girl power adventures, this series is for you.
My one gripe that makes this a 2-3 star (kind of ok, I read it, probably not going to get the other volumes) is that it seems obvious by the voice of the characters that this series is written by males who do not quite understand the female voice nor what makes them tick. Perhaps getting a female graphic series, sci fi, met her at a panel in comic con collaborator next time would have been nice.
