Product Description: In Visions of Booga, we join Tank Girl and her marsupial hubby Booga as they find themselves the victims of the worst run of bad luck ever. Their tank has been lost in a wager and the Australian Mafia are after their pelts. Their only hope seems to lie on the other side of the country, with Booga's estranged little brother.
Not bad... ^ This was the concluding volume for the "Remastered Tank Girl Series." Once again, as I have said in the reviews for the previous editions, this book is a wonderful TPB compilation of the comic with extras and an introduction to set the scene. A side note about that introduction: In spite of what Alan Martin wrote about him and Jamie wanting to take Tank Girl as far away from the movie as possible, this compilation seems more like the first volume, i.e. the prefilm years that the movie tried to mimic. Anyway, the content used in this volume is black and white and in color, while the art is constantly shifting to a new style, either due to Jamie Hewlett being a chameleon, or because new talent was brought in. The plot, although makes a psychadelic/homage turn every now and then like in the second volume, mostly sticks to the usual randomness that you see in Volume 1. Overall, I thought it was trying to match the material of the earlier years. Nevertheless, my only serious complaint about it is that they seemed to barely have enough material to fill this volume up with. It felt like this volume was way shorter than the others.
Enjoyable ^ The only real issue I had with this book was that some of the font in the text bubbles were hard to read, a better script could have been used here and there, but overall Tank Girl is a solid and entertaining graphic novel with quirky humor - it's not for everyone - and a worthy part of any graphic novel fan's collection.
The Very Essence of Awesomeness ^ This 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.
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?
comic anarchy ^ tank 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.
