4 STARS
LumberJanes is a comic series about a group of girls at a
summer camp who run into weird supernatural entities that are [for the
most part] out to get them. This series is an amazing one. It's fun,
hilarious, and the art is well done and colorful.
A
Terrible Plan is the third volume of the series, so I don't plan on
going into much detail because of spoilers. I really enjoyed this volume
but not as much as the two before it. I still really loved it, but I
feel like the story slightly lacked with the girls being separated. I
really loved the plot of April, Jo, and Ridley trying to get mundane
badges, and I enjoyed the plot Mal and Molly were having. However, I
feel like since this is the first time us seeing the group split up, not
only was I not used to it but I think the silly and funny vibe the
previous volumes 1&2 had wasn't present in this volume.
I
had a small issue with the pacing in Mal and Molly's story. It was a
long time of them freaking out but then their problem was solved pretty
quickly. I think that's more the cons of reading volumes instead of
individual issues and waiting to get them weekly. Because I was able to
binge the story it seemed like the pacing was off. The art style also
changed because Noelle Stevenson didn't do any of it. And although I
liked the art in this volume, with the other changes it just seemed to
be too much change. I really love Noelle's art. I did enjoy that each
ghost story had it's own art style.
Overall, I
laughed so much during the mundane badge missions. I love April so much
and Ridley is adorable. I also liked that the Mal/Molly plot got a
little deeper. I'm enjoying seeing their relationship expand. They're
really cute together and they compliment each other. I'm excited to see
what happens next.
I recommend this series to anyone
who wants to read about smart & funny women. Or if you're into camp
settings or supernatural happenings. I also recommend it to kids 9+. I
think they'd really enjoy it.
Thanks for reading!
