Tank Girl Gold #1 Review

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.

New Comics Wednesday

Another nice day at my local comic shop. I've been reading a lot of good things about Moon Knight and wanted to check it out so I was able to get #1 of the most recent series and found a couple back issues in the dollar bins. Hopefully it's good. And supposedly I have a pull list but every week there is something not in it.

What I got today:
Wonder Woman #5 Frank Cho Variant
The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #11
Tank Girl - Two Girls One Tank #4
Hellboy in Hell #10 
Moon Knight #1 If I had known they were charging $5 for this I wouldn't have picked it up.

Dollar Bins:
Moon Knight #12
Moon Knight #14

Wednesday Comics!

Another good day at the comic book store. Today I got a short box to store my comics and I added Kill or Be Killed and Tank Girl to my pull list. They are also adding the next series of Tank Girl that is starting up soon after Two Girls One Tank. The person working there is also special ordering Once Our Land #2 from another New Dimension Comics store so I will most likely be able to get that as well. He said it will probably come in a couple weeks. 

New issues that I got this week:
Wonder Woman #4 Frank Cho cover.
Doctor Who Twelfth Doctor #8

I also picked up:
The Boys #7
The Trees #2

And from the dollar bins:
B.P.R.D. The Warning #1
B.P.R.D. 1946 #5
B.P.R.D. The Ectoplasmic Man One-Shot
B.P.R.D. The Black Flame #2
B.P.R.D. The Black Goddess #2
Incognito #4

It's Almost Wednesday Comics Day!

I haven't been to the comic book store in a week. I haven't gone a whole week from going there since the first week that I started reading comics a little over a month ago. It's an addiction at this point but one that I am doing kind of well to not let it get out of hand, lol.

Comics coming out tomorrow that I am looking forward to...

Wonder Woman #4 - Continuing the story of Steve Trevor landing on Themyscira. I have been looking forward to reading more with this story line.

Doctor Who The Twelfth Doctor Year Two #8. I just found out yesterday that the newest season is not starting back this fall but sometime in the winter or spring. It sucks and I was really looking forward to it soon and love watching this show in the fall. Hopefully the comic helps with there being no new episodes but I also just hope this is a good comic worth checking out. And I like Peter Capaldi as the Doctor. There are all kinds of issues with the other Doctors at the store so hopefully there is a lot to choose from still.

Other things I want to find are some comics of the Boys, the Trees, maybe some more of B.P.R.D, and if there are still any Animosity #1's still at the store.

I also want to get a box to store my comics in. And I need to add a couple things to my pull list, Kill Or Be Killed and Tank Girl.

Tank Girl - Two Girls One Tank #3

Tank Girl - Two Girls One Tank #3 was a good comic. I read #1 but not #2 yet but like this series so far. In this issue Sub Girl is back although she is really creepy and not like how she was before she died. Curious to see what happens with her.Hopefully they don't end up having to kill her again  The military and police is after them and it's nice reading a comic about a super hero in which they are not working with the military or police. There are too many super hero's that do and it's kind of lame. I also like how Tank Girl has them go to a town to shoot up a bunch of bad 80's rock dude robots. Too hilarious!

I like this comic and think I might start following it regularly. Tank Girl and her friends are the funnest group of people and I like that they like to get fucked up and have as much fun as they can. They kind of remind me of some friends I had in Cleveland except Tank Girl and her friends are more fun since they have a tank. I also really like the artwork and wish there was a cartoon with this kind of style with it. Strange that there is only the movie from like twenty years ago. There should be more Tank Girl movies and things outside of the comic book.

New Comics Tomorrow

Tomorrow is new comics day. I want to definitely get Tank Girl - Two Girls One Tank #3 and I want to check out Battlestar Galactica #1. The covers of Galactica look nice. I am always hearing how good this show is but still haven't checked it out yet. I remember seeing parts of the really old movie from I think the early 80's and hoping the comic book version is good.

There isn't much else from the list of things coming out tomorrow that I am wanting at this point but that will change when I am checking them all out tomorrow. I still want to find some good comics to follow. I read Top 10 #2 and #3 and will read #4 in a bit and like it. The quirkiness of it and how things are just all over the place are interesting. I am going to find the rest that were with those in the dollar bin last week and hopefully I can get all of them except for #1 which wasn't there. I also want to find more of B.P.R.D. and check out a couple of the newer issues if they still have them.

I also really liked Tank Girl - Two Girls One Tank #1 and want to find a copy of #2 somewhere. 

I am going to not go over $20 or so but I am also running out of comics to read other than a bunch of Wonder Woman that I still need to read but I like having more of a variety to read from every day. And with Wonder Woman, I really liked the Convergence #1 issue and would like to find #2.

Comics I Got Today

Today was a good comics day. I spent a good amount of time in the dollar bins. I was hoping to find some of the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Tank Girl specifically among whatever else but couldn't find any of those. One thing that was weird also was that they had no Tank Girl in the alphabetized section. Strange.

What I got today:
Tank Girl: Two Girls One Tank #1. Surprised they still had this since it came out in June and it was the only copy. They didn't have any other issues. I don't know if it comes out monthly or what.
Bitch Planet #4

In the dollar bins:
Convergence: Wonder Woman #1
B.P.R.D. #1. Still looking for new comics and thought I would check these one's out.
B.P.R.D. #2
B.P.R.D. #3
Spiral Zone #1. This was a random find for sure. I used to love this cartoon when I was little and surprised there was a comic about it. It was a really dark cartoon I noticed recently when I tried to find episodes online and it is odd that it was actually for children.
