Madéleine FloresRecensioni

This series. OMG guys! THIS SERIES!!! This is one self-contained mini series and is so delightful it hurts.

All female cast. All female creative team. Heavy implications of a trans character (and a perfect example for kids (for whom this book is written) of how to accept someone's transition and name change by just agreeing, changing your language, and moving on).

Very quick read but so worth it.

This volume doesn't stand on its own well; it relies on the reader already having been exposed to Bee and Puppycat through the show. For fans of the show, it's probably a fun read, but for non-watchers, it's a bit confusing.

teen graphic fiction series, girl/women warriors fight demons - cute, irreverent, imaginative½

Very few graphic novels tend to get the "weird" formula down. They either resort to becoming completely nonsensical in an attempt to garner some laughs, or just don't have the imagination to carry a promising story all the way to the end. "Help Us! Great Warrior" does not have this problem in the least. It knows how to strike a balance between the unexplainable and the tangible, so you can follow the story and have fun while doing so. My only complaint is that bits of it feel a little weak on their own because they were obviously fleshed out more in the webcomic it came from (for example, who "Leo" is, where she came from, why she's staying with the Great Warrior, etc). But there is no real solution to that other than a) make a book for the entirety of the webcomic (awesome but probably not practical) or b) keep it as is and hope that it feeds into the "weird" formula. Which it sort of does. It's an otherwise small bump on an awesome GN.

Also, hijab-wearing character who's the literal incarnation of good and purity? Nice.

I really wanted to like this. The characters are so flipping adorable, and I like the general magical girl premise of it. But I feel this is definitely a comic intended for people already deeply familiar with the web series (which I didn't even know existed), and there was very little in it for me to connect with. The first chapter was very engaging and introduced the characters pretty well, but after that everything just fell apart. I am going to check out the web series, and maybe I'll revisit the book to see if I appreciate any of the chapters more after that, but overall, I was not impressed.

There are no other words for this graphic novel than utterly adorable. Too cute for words

QR CODE MUSIC! BRILLIANT!

SUPER CUTE! Great warrior appeals to everyone with her fun, lazy, and hungry attitude. She seeks to save her villagers while keeping her deepest darkest secret.

I love Bee and Puppycat. The series has a really cool, wry sense of humour that I find really approachable.

It is a web series, so if you like the series, you'll like the comic books. It's more or less the same, and while I really like the script and the general concept, I read it mostly for the artwork. It's very punchy and dynamic and the artist is not afraid of colour.

The plot isn't always the strongest, but it was really cool to see other artists contribute to the volumes and see how they wrote and how they drew. I'm always interested in the composition of comic books, and that was a cool feature.

Check out the web series first, if you like that, check out these comics~ c:
