review 1: I really looked forward to seeing this work, a book of comics entirely by women? Awesome! Sadly its not an enjoyable read. The real shame is that they seemed more fixated on having an inflated number of women involved in the book than putting out a book worth reading or viewing (there are a lot of pinups for a comic anthology). It does more to hurt their cause than promote it. I am glad I didn't back this project now, I would have been crushed. I also found the layout rather questionable. Give this book a pass and pick up single artist books or mini comics instead that are done by women. Ultimately the gender of who makes a book isn't as important as the end result and this book didn't seem to care.
review 2: I didn't buy this because I thought I was going to
... morelove all of the stories, I bought it to support the idea behind it,a celebration of women in the comics industry.And I got exactly what I was expecting. I really enjoyed looking at the artwork, some of it was stunning and all of it was much better than anything I could draw.I didn't enjoy the stories quite as much, but they only had a few pages each so you can't expect to enjoy them all.I hope the ladies behind this project are happy with what they have achieved, it is a lovely book. less
