2.0

A messy anthology that “showcased” women cartoonist, but was pretty unremarkable.

The title is, I don’t know, supposed to be a reclaiming of female characters in comic books, or a nod to the sexy chicks that write comics, but this collection didn’t work.... or I just don’t get what they were trying to do here. I think it was an “anything goes” kind of collection that showed female characters being everything but sexy... an interesting concept is still needed though!

I really liked Colleen Coover’s “The Boogeyman” and Trina Robbins contribution was playful and I did like the different styles of art (some were really good!) but I still gotta give this only 2 stars.
