Book Reviews of Tank Girl: The Odyssey (Remastered Edition) (Tank Girl (Unnumbered))
Book Review: Tank Girl gets her grubby paws on the Odyssey...
Summary: 4 Stars
This comic is essentially a "Tank Girl" version of the Odyssey. We start out with Tank Girl having been at a party for years at "Troy's house," when Booga (kangaroo bf) is given an offer by a movie agent to be made a "much bigger star than Tank Girl." Meanwhile, Tank Girl assembles a crew (various cast regulars and cameos by the creators) to get back in time to slaughter Booga's suitor and must overcome obstacles such as Tankie's dead mother, a hotel that only accepts payments in eyeballs, a goth-rock band called "The Sirens" and more. What I think is admirable about this is that Alan Martin, co-creator and usual writer of Tank Girl, stepped out and was replaced with Peter Milligan for this story. Peter Milligan, with fairly limited knowledge of Tank Girl, managed to capture the essence of Tank Girl and also wove an interesting "Tank Girl/punk rock/bogjoke" interpretation of the Odyssey. This book, like the other remastered editions I've reviewed, has an introduction from the author (a different author this time) as well as an additional comic about Tank girl and Booga camping out in Arlington National Cemetery. The story for Tank Girl Odyssey isn't too bad, although there are times when you can almost tell that it's being written by someone else (mainly because it doesn't end with Alan Martin's usual "then she takes acid and blows up the planet" type of ending). As for the content, it's the usual immature substance abuse, drinking, toilet humor, femme fatale act you'd expect from Tank Girl. The Odyssey reference is also pretty interesting for those of you who aren't uncultured swine.
