it was interesting reading these in quick succession, it's clear that clugston was learning and applying that learning. no. 4 really deserves a 6, it's that amazing.

1990s adolescents and their problems – continued in this volumeWith cartoon-type illustrations, this comic collection deals with adolescents in the 1990s, their problems with relationships, with rivalries, with crushes and Bleu's crush on one of her teachers as well as an unfortunate incident at a party.It's quite fun and reasonably entertaining although would suit the American reader more than others as there are many references to US culture / high school life. It all gets a bit tiresome unles...
There are certainly bits that wouldn’t fly in the current cultural climate ...
Another decent volume from Blue Monday. I wouldn't say the level of crudeness increased, but the quantity did. The stories were decent, and I enjoyed it well enough, but the first volume's Adam Ant story arc had this one beat.
A...fairly accurate depiction of high schoolers, which is to say it's about children being horrible to each other and screwing up both their lives and other people's. It wasn't my kind of thing, but it'll appeal more to actual teens, I expect. The coloring is excellent!
What if Archie and the gang were mods, punks, and rude boys?
I don't know how this book has such high reviews. It definitely has some creepy vibes. The main character gets filmed taking a bath by some classmates who then spread the news around school and ruin her reputation. The teachers do nothing except ponder how innocent or slutty she is. They don't even spare a thought for the boys or for their creepy voyeuristic tactics. Keep in mind that the boys are supposed to be her friends, and one of them then proceeds to ASK HER OUT!!!!!!! She agrees to go wi...
I legitimately can’t understand how any woman could write this and expect me to be on board with these male characters enough to even entertain the idea of their romantic lives with anything even moderately approaching support. This is apparently a comedy. Does she actually think these guys are lovable?!?This is like Twilight dating advice for weeaboos or something. I’m honestly confused about how I am supposed to feel about these kids. Does the author want me to think they are just regular guys...
Disclaimer: I received this volume through a Goodreads giveaway for the purpose of writing this review. No other compensation was offered or requested.Bleu L. Finnegan isn’t precisely your normal high school girl growing up in 1990s Northern California. For one thing, there’s the blue hair, which she’s had since at least elementary school (though it’s not clear if it’s natural.) She’s also way more into then-contemporary musicians than the average person, and most of the people she hangs out...
OMG, this is getting better... can't wait to read the next one. I got to confess that I love the clothing of the main character and her friend I mean I was so mod too, that remined me so much of my own closet
I love these comics, the characters are well written and are hilarious for the most part.
A fun story about teenage crushes. There's plenty of good humour, even if it does go completely off the rails with the addition of a giant talking sea otter that only Bleu and Clover can see. It's a little less out of place given the cartoonish violence. The humour often extends to the margins, as little doodles are sometimes included; quite a few feature the editor, Jamie Rich. The art is very manga-esque, and adds to the overall silliness. This isn't as good as the first volume, but it's still...
Like if the six seasons of Riverdale I’ve accidentally ended up watching could laugh at themselves AND guest dj at britpop nite!
Still fun.
It was about as good as it sounds. Normally, I love reading teen books, but this one was kind of just the disaster that you think high school will be, until you actually get there. No character development to make the conflict more interesting. No side conflicts or stories or anything, really, to distract from the conflict, which I personally didn't feel was a very good one. And... there wasn't really a resolution, either. At the end, the kid whose name I can't even remember now only gave Bleu a...
I really enjoyed reading the first individual issues I picked up all those years ago, and definitely recommend reading this part of the series. It works fine as a stand alone book.I find Chynna Clugston-Major's art pleasant and very amusing. I think she captures all the characters, and the point of the story really well. Highly enjoyable read if you're not easily offended and love situation comedies with a true touch of character! ;)
Archie for indie rock kids.Oh, the name drops!
Book two in the Blue Monday series.After her friends Alan and Victor videotape Bleu taking a bath and then spread rumors all over school, Bleu wants revenge. A "hooligan rules" soccer match takes place with Clover getting some payback. What neither girl realizes is that Alan actually LIKES Bleu; yes, like THAT, and wants to ask her out.When a kilt-wearing Pooka shows up on their date, disaster and hilarity make it a night Bleu will never forget.
Mmm pretty darn enjoyable but not as good as the first volume.
