The first issue of Tank Girl Gold finally came. Continuing from Two Girls One Tank and I am starting to wonder if with every story arc, this series is going to start back at #1 since this is how too many comics publishers try to sell more comics these days. I like Tank Girl and I did like this issue but there is also the thing with how in the last issue of Two Girls One Tank in which Sub Girl died.
What the fuck Tank Girl, or more specifically, Alan Martin? Sub Girl died in the last issue. It was really sad. Now in this issue Sub Girl is alive again. This is the other problem I have with comic books. Deaths mean absolutely nothing. It's like the worst aspect of the worst soap operas and hyping a death, only to bring them back again. I just started getting into Tank Girl, starting with a few issues of Two Girls One Tank and supposedly Sub Girl died a couple decades ago but came back in the last mini-series, died in the last issue, and in this first issue, is back again. And with how she came back to life, she seems to have lost her memory of the last two decades and has no recollection of being the creepy Sub Girl in which she had to be killed because she wanted to kill everyone. And there is hardly no interest from Tank Girl and the others in knowing what that is about and just accepting that she supposedly lost her memory of being the creepy Sub Girl.
Other than that which isn't the worst really, this is a good comic and I am curious to see where this goes. Maybe I am just not that familiar with the zaniness of the Tank Girl world although I do like it and the humor is great. In this issue Tank Girl and her friends deal with Booga and Barney after they realize how Tank Girl lost her tank as a result of them losing it in a bet sometime in the past and with how it was Booga's fault in some way with how Sub Girl died years ago. Booga gets sent down Furry Road which is hilarious and kind of fucked up. At the end of that road are a bunch of sex crazed people with some kind of awful std that Booga ends up getting which is beyond messed up. So bizarre and funny in a totally creepy kind of way. I use the word creepy a lot when it comes to Tank Girl I guess. Barney has to write an apology for her mistakes and it's actually quite nice what she wrote.
By the end of the issue everyone is on good terms and there is a small scene about what they are doing with all that nazi gold that they got in the last series. They are wasting it in the funniest of ways it seems.
I did actually like this issue other than a couple of complaints and I liked the artwork a lot in this issue. All the scenes were under a different kind of murky shade which is interesting. Curious to see how the artwork keeps up with each issue.
