It seems like an alien invasion but as you get through the book, the girls realise it is nowhere near as simple as that... This series has been a revelation to me and I can't wait to pick up the second volume to see what happens next!

Cliff Chiang is on art duties and he creates a lot of cool concepts to make the strange invaders seem even stranger. His art style is perfect for a series such as this.

Also, the art isn't as muted as my examples may lead you to believe, however, the exciting colourful bits would be considered spoilers and so I will leave it to you to go read the book and find out for yourself. Matt Wilson does an incredible job on colours. He obviously has an incredible array of colours to choose from but it is his restraint that truly helps to make the world of this book work.

I recommend this book and I'm sure the second volume is just as good. Give it a go if you're feeling nostalgic or if you're just looking for something new to break from all of the Superhero comic fatigue! Paper Girls Volume 1 gets a great, big A from me!
