Book Reviews of Tank Girl 2
Book Review: I dont know man...
Summary: 2 Stars
Im not one of the original fans of this series, but I liked the first book.
This second one is not near as good.
Book Review: If you hated the movie?
Summary: 5 Stars
You may be one of those people who asked themselves, 'Why in $^%$# did they make this movie? That is in regard to the textbook case of Hollywood compromise and dreck that was the incredably dissapointing film version. Well the answers are in the pages of one of the best demented comics ever made. Unfortunetly, movie execs couldn't greenlight a purely sociopathic superheroine who mows down her enemies and can not hear their screams (cause her personal stereo is on too loud!)So she had to have a name (in the movie) and a little girl to save (just like the heroine in another movie, you can here the pitch meeting! It will be like Aliens meets The great rock and roll swindle with a little Kissing Jessica Stein thrown in.)No plot (who needs it!)loads of sarcasm and self parody, lot's of pointless violence! The best punk rock comic ever made. If you like Gorillaz videos, that's about as deep as it gets... only funnier.Book Review: Nowhere near as good as Vol 1.
Summary: 1 Stars
Whilst Vol 1 made a limited degree of sense, and was great fun, Vol 2 seems to see our authors ingesting many more drugs than strictly necessary to maintain a semblance of plot or indeed reality.
The stories feel very rushed and sloppily executed, as if they were writing/drawing to a deadline, and most of the manic intensity in Vol 1 is dissipated into a directionless and not remotely funny mush.
Get Vol 1, but skip this one.
Book Review: Printed Insanity, not for everyone
Summary: 4 Stars
Tank Girl is the epitome of a cult classic. It is definately not your traditional comic, there isn't much plot to speak of, nor is there much depth in the stories. This is not the book to read for concise social commentary or introspection. This magic of Tank Girl lies in its incredible art, cathartic writing, and the interaction between the numerous insane characters (as well as the characters and the creators). I would reccommend Tank Girl to someone with a very twisted sense of humor and an open mind. It's not for everyone, and does take a different mind set to appreciate. The only reason I do not give it 5 stars is that one or two of the stories in this book were a little too slow at points, and some of the pages were too cluttered. These are minor gripes, but I don't want to say it's a perfect collection. But worth the $.Book Review: Tank Girl
Summary: 5 Stars
Tank Girl does not make sense, she can out run Mr. Whippy. She Does not like you. Tank girl is mean. The drawings by the hewl only bare SLIGHT resemblance with the gorillaz drawings he did. They have nothing in common. If you think you do, you deserve to have your copy of tank girl 2 and all others you may have stolen.
