Paper Girls is a reminder of how fresh and accessible even the most familiar stories and tropes can feel when people who have been consigned to the sidelines of popular entertainment take center stage. -SLATE Its tone is harder, flintier, funnier, more pragmatic, and far less concerned with idealizing the 'lost innocence' of childhood [than Stranger Things and Super 8]. -NPR A brilliant series. -The Plain Dealer Amazing -99.9 KISW Radio The book remains gorgeous throughout every issue, every volume.

It's glorious and moving, and also awkward and funny. -Tor.com The story opens with an earnest, Spielberg-esque vibe that sends you soaring before abruptly plunging you down into the creepy and bizarre, ultimately leaving you with the most WTF cliffhanger...of the year. -Vox.com
