Review by: mizim (Miriam)
Dated: 9th of March, 2020
Helen and the Go-Go Ninjas is a book that I have tidied up on the shelf several times over the past year, but it wasn't until recently when I had to sticker and price twenty or so of them, that I finally paid it some proper attention and got it down to read. It's very fast paced and filled with both pros and cons that leave me unsure if I would recommend it or not. It is set in New Zealand, Auckland by the very obvious Sky World and Helen appears to be Maori, a nice change from a white hero saving the day. There is a bit of time travel going on, they manage to avoid any paradoxes but I would have liked some little mention on how they were able to bring back the information that parachutes were required.
I love that Helen is running around in a tank top and pants, none of the women are half dressed to look sexy and attractive while trying to survive but I felt like they then took a big step back by having a large amount of women as mindless slaves to the men who come now and then to claim the food they've gathered and impregnate them... it's a well worn trope in post apocalyptic worlds that I'm getting a little tired of. And there's also the bad guy, who's really a good guy at heart character... Other than those issues, this was a decent graphic novel for teens and older.
Random listing from 'Comics'...
Do you dare find out what's happening behind the counters of your neighbourhood fast-food joint? Then grab a bucket and dive into one of the creepiest graphic novels of the year!
Super-sized: Strange Tales from a Fast-Food Culture is an entertaining-and at times gut-wrenching-series of stories focusing on America's ubiquitous and potentially destructive fast-food culture.
A perfect companion to Super Size Me, the graphic novel will bridge the gaps between humour, fact, and heart, while peering behind the scenes of the fast food world.
