I really do feel like Counselor Jen and I are soul twins. "NO HIJINKS!!:
This was cute (and I’m 100% here for queer relationships in middle grade/YA graphic novels) but I’m baffled why this had to be a separate graphic novel and not just a few issue arc in the main Lumberjanes comic where it wouldn’t have been out of place. The cynical part of me says it was for money, which considering this trade retails for $14.99 and 2/3rds of it is the actual comic, might be right. Yes, the entire last chunk of this trade is just a preview of the first issue of Lumberjanes which
This was a real wee delight. I love the Lumberjanes. The new art style with the black/white/green colouring was striking.
IT'S SO GAY! I'M IN LOVE. Yes, this is the Lumberjanes you know and love, only with the queer ships front and center, and in a snazzy new art style that jives quite nicely with the original, thank you very much. It took me a moment to get used to the desaturated coloring, but once I sunk into the gorgeousness it was quite a nice journey, with the pleasant ladyfolks we've all come to love. And possibly ship. With each other. SAID AS AN ACE, ARO, AGENDER PERSON OKAY IT'S STILL AMAZING READ IT. I h...
An adorable addition to the Lumberjanes universe, developing Mal and Molly's relationship while also supplying tons of supernatural hijinks
I miss the original team of creators :(
They kissed! And I squee like April, but now my lips are squeeled.
Not sure where this falls in the Lumberjanes chronicles and why it's separated out from the series. I like full-color comics so that was a disappointment. But the story was cute and Mal and Molly get front and center for their relationship!
It's sweet, endearing and made me feel good :D
An entire graphic novel Lumberjanes, with Mal and Molly at the centre of it! This is just the kind of hijinks I expect from this series, with a Molly subplot. It is mostly black and white, with green highlights. Overall, cute, fun, and left me wishing it was longer!
I love Lumberjanes - I didn't like this. I almost felt like it was trying too hard to be Lumberjanes. I enjoyed the different graphics but the text was too didactic and repetitive - I didn't feel like it did anything for the overarching story of the Camp for Hardcore Ladytypes.
Erm, it was all right? Despite it being 100+ pages, there really didn’t seem to be much to it that made it distinguishable from a regular issue of Lumberjanes. I expected something bigger and bolder and it just felt like a regular jaunt. The lack of color might’ve done it for me as well, as the comics have such a vibrant tone that the subtle splashes of color just felt like line-art.
This is a very sweet story set in the Lumberjanes world, but which can be read out of sequence of the single issues, or possibly even as a stand alone. A cursed magical compass separates the Lumberjanes in the woods, making one after another lose their way. But sometimes you have to lose your way before you can find it.
Cute story. This is a prequel to the Lumberjanes Vol. 1. This is set right before they found out there was something strange about the camp and there were monsters in the wood. Molly and Mal first make their relationship public here. Most of this story is told in black and white. There is a 2nd story that is in color. I really enjoyed this little story, but it should have been a flashback in the main storyline. Cute, playful and fun. Yeah, Friendship to the Max!
I absolutely love the Lumberjanes and I especially love Molly-centered stories because I always feel like I can really connect with her, so obviously I really liked this one. However, because this is Lumberjanes/Molly I expected nothing less than to absolutely love this, and I didn't. There was just something there that was missing, and even though I liked it I'm feeling a little bit let down as well.
The Infernal Compass is set in the same world of the Lumberjanes, but separate from the ongoing plot of the series itself. It was created by Lilah Sturges (Everafter, Thor: Worthy Origins, The Magicians) and Polterink. What’s interesting about the binding of The Infernal Compass (and a couple of the other Lumberjanes stories) is that it is in hardback, and on the whole probably smaller than a single graphic novel. However, where the graphic novel may have several plots and issues, the Infernal
A cute side story revolving around Molly, and her growing relationship with Mal. I really enjoy Molly, as she's the most sensitive of the Lumberjanes, and seeing her grow to trust them is lovely. The story wasn't complicated, serving solely to forward the character and the lesson. Though I very much enjoyed the automatons! I didn't care for the muted art style at first but it grew on me and works well with the story. If you enjoy the Lumberjanes, definitely pick this up!
Yet another win from the world of Lumberjanes! This standalone graphic novel was fantastic & adorable, and it was so lovely seeing Molly and Mal talk about their feelings (and btw, I'm 100% on team Ripley re: M&M being the best ship name). Lilah Sturges did an excellent job with this universe, and the characters were completely on point. The art by polterink was really gorgeous, though the coloring was more subdued than I'm used to in this universe. I think it worked well, and I still loved the
The illustrations were a neat change, but I really don't see how this 'graphic novel' is any different from the other Lumberjanes volumes...It's a similar story line, and similar length. Not to mention the last quarter is actually a sneak peek of Vol.1. WHICH doesn't make sense at all. If The Infernal Compass is presumably supposed to be read independently of the series, readers wouldn't really 'get it.' There is no introduction to the 'Janes, the camp, or the Mal/Molly ship. Also, this story fe...
