So I kind of had hopes for this. I don't remember when it came out and it came out during a period when I was still pretty DC buying happy, but that should probably tell you something right there (my LCS was very big on marketing anything "girl" comic oriented my way since I was one of the few girls who came in and read almost anything and gave them feedback).

This wasn't BAD, but it was kind of...unexceptional. Okay well I liked the artwork. And I appreciated the attempt at diversity they did, but everyone was so under developed. And the main character Lauren was a total bitca. She sort of learns a kind of lesson, but she's so determined to be popular that its not until the Popular Girls are actual VILLAINS that she realized how cruel, vicious and mean they were.

Meanwhile the Popular Girls were this side of deranged and so over the top. They didn't really act in their own self-interests, like you'd expect supposedly "clever" and "manipulative" girls to do nor were they terribly subtle. I don't understand how they got away with half the shit they did before their powers since a lot of it was just this sign of psychopathic criminal. BARELY this side of it.

In all it wasn't a bad buy at $2, I did really enjoy the art (I like Christine Norrie & Jennifer Graves from other DC works of the time), but ugh the actual story... ( )

cool
