Lumberjanes, Vol. 1: Beware the Kitten Holy

Story
Once upon a time I was a boy scout. In fact I'm an Eagle Scout. Sadly nowadays various reasons have kept me from camping anymore. Maybe excuses would be a better word. One of these days I'd like to get back to it though. I have found memories of summer camp. Especially the two summers I spent on staff.

In the meantime, I'll have to live vicariously through the Lumberjanes. Add in the fantastical nature of Miss Qiunzilla Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's camp for hard-core lady-types (say that three times fast) and you have a premise I can get behind!

I found it started a bit slow, but by the end I was definitely hooked. The Janes don't earn the kind of merit badges I did as a scout, but then I never went to a camp quite so fantastical either.

I've been becoming a bit of a selective comic trade reader of late, and I'm happy to add another series to the list of things to read.

3.5 Stars rounded up for ending stronger than it started.

Artwork
I didn't love the artwork at first, but it grew on me. I'm not sure if a different artist did the cover, or if it's simply a matter of time spent. I didn't think the characters were as well defined in actual panels.

But as I said it grew on me as it went on. The colors are great and I enjoyed the various magical creatures.
