I don't expect a comic featuring alternate universe time travel cavepeople to be a thesis on paleolithic culture, but I must note that I'm bummed out by stories that portray patriarchy as eternal and inevitable. There were no doubt some bossy, grumpy menfolk in the Pleistocene, but many of our ideas about violent alpha male cavemen are projections of modern assumptions on the past. I'm so much interested in reading stories about a past where women had agency and their labor and contributions were necessarily valuable. /soapbox (That said, I loved the bit where the cavefolk think that a child can have more than one father—people in the past sometimes had very shaky ideas about human reproduction.) The Eisner and Harvey Award-winning 80s hommage scifi series Paper Girls continues with Volume 3, where we see our pre-teen heroes, Erin, Mac, KJ and Emily, getting sent back to prehistoric times. Written by Brian K. Vaughan (Saga) and illustrated by Cliff Chiang (Wonder Woman), Paper Girls is a Stranger Things-esque tale with a sci-fi mystery and female friendship at its core. It starts out with our main characters, four 12-year-old newspaper delivery girls in the ‘80s, doing their normal paper route early one Halloween morning. Queue the madness. Immediately by the first issue’s end, it gets crazy. Mysterious forces from the future attack their Cleveland suburb (Volume 1, collecting issues 1-5), they’re transported to 2016 (Volume 2, collecting issues 6-10) and eventually end up on what seems to be a different world (Volume 3, collecting issues 11-15). This brings us to Volume 3 where the girls travel back to prehistoric times, and the reader gets to spend more time with KJ, who was largely absent from the second volume. The four paper girls are reunited in a completely new place somewhere far off in the past, and run into a savage young women named Wari who looks vaguely native American except for the technojunk strung around her neck. A woman from the future named Doctor Quanta Braunstein shows up in a fancy suit and cool hairstyle, while Tiffany and Erin start to bond with the primitive girl Wari and her baby Jahpo. It turns out that three men are after Wari for her baby, and somehow they all claim fatherhood. They look a bit like Uruk-Hai Berserkers covered with mud, and they too have some technological flotsam to go with their stone axes. These three cave-men run into and capture Doctor Braunstein, while the girls try to come up with a plan to get back to 1988. It's all a bit wild and a fun wild. Young girls crushing Pleistocene patriarchy! I wonder where Vaughan will take us and the girls in Volume 4? geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
