Lumberjanes Vol. 1

The illustrations are cute, and the way they don't cuss is charming in a Fantastic Mr. Fox way, but as a whole it fell flat for me. I think I would have been a big fan if I read this at age 12, but it just didn't hold my attention or excitement as an adult.

This story is weird, and magical, and overall doesn't make much sense, but that's where a lot of the entertainment comes from. Reading this made me feel like a kid again, and that's the best thing a book can do.

I read this because I was a big fan of Nimona. I was a little disappointed with the artwork, but I'm still rating this five stars because it has a great feminist message and it is the first book in a long time that made me laugh out loud

I really enjoyed seeing how all the characters grew over time in each chapter. I loved that all of the main characters were female too! It's nice to see someone writing about adventurous women for a change!

Fun, simple romp. Nothing life changing, just nice art and a gravity-falls-esque thing happening (but the characters in this aren’t quite as varied, fun, or developed, but maybe that’ll come later.

My husband picked this title out for me months ago and I finally got around to reading it thanks to a free copy of Volume 1 via the store Prime Reading. It a great story. For me, it's kind of like a mash up between Manifest Destiny and Adventure Time.

Definitely a good read!!! I bought this for my little sister when she was sick on a recommendation and didn't read it before giving it to her and she told me that I had to read it. So I did. Totally worth it!

This was a fun comic that made me think back fondly on my summers as a kid and friends I made at camp. Of course, I never went to a camp where there were hipster yetis and badges for buns, but that's what makes Lumberjanes so good! Loved it!

Not a comment of the quality of the book, but I details of this page suggest that it is Vol 1. and over a hundred pages. In fact it is just Issue 1 available for digital download and only 20 pages long

I LOVE Lumberjanes so, so, so, so so very much. It's adorable, the art is so cute and clean and unique, the story is fun, it's a FREAKING FEMINIST SUMMER CAMP. The comic itself is perfection...but the quality is horrible. The pages were folded and creased, there was some weird brown liquid smeared on the back: disguising! The envelope it was shipped in folded and crumpled the comic and the packaging was ripped. It had obviously been read, and not gently. I'm so mad that I paid this much for a horribly treated comic. I really love the Lumberjanes serious, and it is rather expensive, so the fact that it came in so awful quality is astounding and disgusting to me, although I adore Noelle Stevenson and her lovely creation.

Purchased book 1 and 2 because I thought my daughter would love it. Girls at camp in a graphic novel format are right up her alley...however. I started reading them when they arrived, and then looked deeper into the reviews. The first several bad reviews were about technology issues, but then I found more. Wow...wish I would have dug deeper before purchasing. If you are a Christian, don't buy these. First off, the "field manual" in the front of the book. Pretty much a slap in God's face. As the books go further into the series, there are more and more insinuations and definite lesbian themes. I thought about re-selling these or donating them to a thrift store, but then realized I didn't want anyone else to be affected by them on my account - so they got thrown in the campfire. Take a pass on this author and find a different series. Hope this helps those who were wondering...

Not cute. Not funny. Waste of time. Giants Beware and Zita the Space Girl are much better series. No need to insert your atheism into adolescent comic books. It doesn't add to the storyline but it certainly detracts. Poorly drawn, predictable story.

Honestly, I would give it a big 0 if I could. I downloaded the sample for the Kindle in hopes that it would be a new series for my daughter, and maybe even a year end gift for the girls in our Girl Scout troop. The first three pages of the sample had the feel of a scouter's handbook, and I thought that to be clever. Then I started reading the Lumberjanes Pledge - it started off very similar to the Girl Scout Law...that was until the line that looks to be hand scribbled out (looking like someone's actual handbook with doodles and such), but with the remark next to that unreadable, crossed out line, which says, "Then there's a line about God, or whatever." (See the attached image). If the author is trying to inspire girls to be strong, why is the author throwing in snarky remarks about God? She could have just as easily not even included what is likely a line about service to God as part of the pledge in the first place. Needless to say, I will NOT be purchasing the series, from this part of the sample alone. That is a pretty low down way of putting the seed of doubt into a young girl's head about her religion.
And of course, since it's against Christianity, it's ok and acceptable, because hey, we're the "old fashion" ones who need to "get with the times."
Good luck with your series, Noelle. Maybe you'll see the Light at some point in your life.

I don't know why its got such good reviews, it was terrible. The characters were one dimensional cardboard cut outs of "the smart one" or "the silly one", and the plot was next to non-existant. The art was cute, but that's the extent of what you'll get out of this. Ripley the small girl does nothing but jump around shouting, tall one doesn't really do anything of note, the red head, which by the way LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THE GIRL ON THE COVER, is just the sensible smart one, and edgelord McGee and Helga over there on the right side serve no purpose but to shoe horn in a lesbian romance in an attempt to be "current" and "politically forward". At no point in this story did I care about any of the characters, I wanted to throw the book into the nearest trash compactor but pushed onward in hopes of getting my money's worth. Spoiler: I didn't.
