Not wanting to disappoint your friend who is doing something nice for you was a good theme for a lumberjane book. Although they never actually talked about it so Jo is going to have to deal again next year.
Curse Shannon Watters and the rest of the team behind these for reminding me how adorable this series is every time I'm always ready to read the next one. I think this was one of the best ones yet.
I felt like this volume lacked a plot and really anything exciting. The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because I found the whole idea of creating the perfect birthday for your best friend, cute. I remember in middle school and high school my group of friends always tried to go all out and make birthdays special and something to look forward to. Friendships like that are more like family. You create a bond that will last. And just because I feel like I mention this all the time, I must do i...
Good story, good writing. The art though. The series gets hit with yet another brand new visual style. I think they’ve gotten worse and worse. This latest is flat and makes every character look like Moose from Archie comics.I can see the appeal in providing a forum for multiple artists to gain exposure and experience, but I dislike the wildly different styles that have been applied to this series since its genesis. The characters are barely recognizable; they retain distinctive features in their...
Birthdays can be hard. April has a very special birthday party planned for Jo. Can she pull it off when everything can go wrong in such special ways? Lots of plans going astray and lots of love.
I’ve learned that the drawing style is hit or miss for me and affects my enjoyment of certain comics. I love Lumberjanes; this particularly volume is drawn in a style that I find really distracting and hard to distinguish between characters. Not my favorite.
It's birthday celebrations happening at the Lumberjanes camp and one of those girls celebrating their birthdays is Jo. For years ever since they were young ones, April has been planning a birthday party after a birthday party for Jo, always try to best the previous year's birthday party. This year though Jo isn't at all excited as she knows that April will try and make it all about herself, little does she know that April has put a lot of effort into this party and decided that the correct Lumbe...
This volume was a disappointment. The story was boring and not magical. The art style looks terrible and not publication worthy. I don't like how she did the blush. The characters don't look themselves. I am going to finish up this series because there isn't many volumes left.
Another adorable volume of Lumberjanes. This one mainly centers around April trying to plan a surprise birthday for Jo and some other Lumberjanes but the rest of the gang manages to have a pretty cool adventure with Seafarin' Karen and the selkies as well. Anytime I need a fun light read I check to see if there are new volumes of Lumberjanes out.
April's plan for the perfect party for Jo gets derailed by a sea monster, selkies, and the sheer insanity of the Lumberjanes camp in this birthday themed story arc.There's a lot packed into these four issues; it feels very dense with all the 'Janes getting their own plot running parallel until they all reunite at the end for the party. There's some nice continuity with Mal's fear of water, and some returning friends as well.Newcomer Annemarie Rogers' artwork takes a little getting used to, since...
Read as individual issues. I really didn't like the art in these issues. It wasn't bad art, I just preferred the previous art styles. But the story was cute and adorable, and it felt like a nice change to the last few volumes which were starting to get a bit repetitive. My only gripe is that while Jo enjoyed her surprise, she didn't talk to April about not liking the big parties. Still, it was an enjoyable romp.
This is a solid LJ collection, but the fifth star is really for that GORGEOUS cover!
Read as separate issues.This series is super cute and a great pick-me-up! Not a whole ton of plot in this one but like how it explored the relationships between April/Jo and, to a lesser extent, Mal and Molly, more. Also enjoyed the callbacks to previous volumes with Seafarin' Karren, etc.
Not in love with the art (although the characters do look distinct, something not always done well), but the story of April going over the top for Jo's birthday was fun.
It's Jo's birthday and April is insistent that she needs to make it a very special day as she always has done in their lifelong friendship; all Mal has to do is keep Jo distracted all day. This slightly edgy and very pro women friendships series has really found it's place as a vanilla book with a little bit of mainstream edge and although nice and at times entertaining lacks any real bite. 6 out of 12.The shout-out to notable women from history is the singularly inspiring and awesome thing abou...
Just okay. The artwork was very meh for me, and the storyline was also not my favorite. I will love April forever.
Review to come :)
April goes all out (and that's saying something for her) to create the best surprise birthday party every for Jo, who is secretly not that jazzed about it. Oh, and there's a giant sea serpent. Because of course there is.Another great entry in the series. I love these girls so much.
4 star story, 2 star art. April is determined to celebrate Jo's birthday in the biggest fashion, and everyone gets mixed up in new adventures. I quite enjoyed Wren the stage manager especially!
This one was a delightful little volume about April planning Jo's birthday party. A lot of side characters from previous volumes made appearances and that was fun.
