Bij het openen van dit boek had ik geen flauw idee wat me te wachten stond. De titel Big Girls riep iets denigrerends naar vrouwen in mij op maar ik kon me niet voorstellen dat het zo bedoeld zou zijn. De kaftillustratie laat een vrouw groter dan gebouwen zien en op de achtergrond monsters van hetzelfde formaat. De vrouw heeft in iedere hand wat lijkt een wapen te zijn. Dat er actie ging komen, leek me in ieder geval wel duidelijk.

Met opgeheven wenkbrauwen las ik de eerste bladzijden. Waar ging dit in hemelsnaam heen? Al snel werd ik gegrepen door het idee dat er in de wereld een macro-organisme is die bepaalde kinderen opeens enorm snel en tot buiten proportie grootte laat groeien. Het is de vrouwelijke variant die alleen heel groot wordt, onze Big Girls maar de mannen moeten het ontgelden en veranderen in tumoren op pootjes die razend vernietigend rondlopen. Het zijn dan ook de Big Girls die de mensheid moet verdedigen tegen deze monsters. Niks denigrerends naar vrouwen, in tegendeel, zij zijn de helden.
Nou ja, zo eenvoudig ligt het ook allemaal niet maar toch is dit het idee dat de basis voor deze strip is.

Er is natuurlijk aardig wat piefpafpoef wat bij zo'n strijd te verwachten is. Bij gevechten raak ik nogal eens de weg kwijt en snap niet wie nu wie op welke manier belaagt maar tot mijn opluchting kon ik de gevechten redelijk goed volgen. Daarnaast zijn er een aantal centrale personages die allen in een korte tijd een redelijke ontwikkeling doormaken wat het verhaal boeiend houdt. Ook wordt er tussendoor nog wat extra achtergrondinformatie gegeven over deze personages. Deze combinatie maakte het heel leuk om te lezen.

De tekeningen vind ik wel wat hebben. Mensenfiguren zijn altijd moeilijk omdat het toch op een mens moet lijken maar geen foto-echtheid moet hebben. Het is vooral het haar dat alle kanten op zwiept en de hoekerigheid in de gezichten wat het deze eigen stijl maakt. De gebouwen en interieurs zijn herkenbaar echt waardoor ik me kan voorstellen dat dit verhaal zich nu in onze maatschappij afspeelt. De monsters vind ik heel mooi gevonden omdat de ontwikkeling van een klein jongetje naar een jongetje met tumoren naar de bizar grote tumorachtige wezens op benen wordt laten zien. Het is hierdoor geloofwaardig dat ze zo geworden zijn.

Dit deel heeft een stevige opbouw en is te lezen als een afgerond geheel. Ook heel fijn. Al zijn er wel aardig wat opzetjes gegeven voor meer. Helemaal niet erg want het smaakt ook echt naar meer.

• [Untitled - "My palms sweat."] / John Ridley, writer; Clayton Henry, artist
~ 2 stars ~
In an epilogue to World's Finest #192-193 from 1970, Clark Kent is anxious when he has to interview a man who tortured him years earlier when he was in a powerless state as Superman. A realistic downer.

• The Measure of Hope / Brandon Easton, writer; Steve Lieber, artist
~ 2 stars ~
A dead mom? More depressing mopiness about the limits of Superman's powers.

• The Boy Who Saved Superman / Wes Craig, story & art
~ 3 stars ~
So powerlessness is definitely a theme here. When Superman is down and out, it's up to a young immigrant to get him back into the fray. The right kind of inspiring.

• Human Colors / Dan Watters, script; Dani, art
~ 2 stars ~
A silly, if well-intentioned parable about the importance of color to humanity.

• The School of Hard Knock-Knock Jokes / Marguerite Bennett, writer; Jill Thompson, artist
~ 2 stars ~
Kindergartener Clark Kent stars in a heavy-handed afterschool special about shunning and friendship.

• Own / Steven T. Seagle, writer; Duncan Rouleau, art
~ 2 stars ~
Martha Kent rips her coffee clique when they make a slight about adoption.

• Into the Ghost Zone / Chuck Brown, writer; Denys Cowan, pencils; John Stanisci, inks
~ 2 stars ~
I'm not familiar with the Earth-2 Superman, Val-Zod, and this silly action piece does little to properly introduce him.

• Patience / Dan Panosian, story & art
~ 2 stars ~
Lex Luthor futilely attacks Superman with some new red kryptonite, including a boxing match. I grew up with Muhammad Ali clobbering Supes in glorious, full-color, treasury-sized Neal Adams art, and, friend, that is not a comparison you want to invite.

• My Best Friend, Superman / Stephanie Phillips, script; Marley Zarcone, art
~ 2 stars ~
Another obvious and heavy-handed afterschool special set on a playground. Or maybe it would be more at home on the corny old Superfriends TV show.

• S Is for Cyborg / Jason Howard, art & story
~ 2 stars ~
Cyborg Superman Hank Henshaw needs to be forgotten forever by everyone. Just stop with him already, DC.

• Deadline / Jesse J. Holland, writer; Laura Braga, artist
~ 3 stars ~
It's a little awkward, but I like this story of Bruce Wayne and Diana musing whether or not a busy and constantly distracted Clark Kent will make his newspaper deadline and their dinner date.

• Kilg%re City / Michel Fiffe, writer & artist
~ 2 stars ~
Nearly unreadable nonsense, but the art is sort of fun.

• A Man Most Saved / Brandon Thomas, writer; Berat Pekmezci, art
~ 2 stars ~
I like the premise of a man who has been saved by Superman repeatedly getting the chance to pay him back, but it felt like it needed a few more pages or a slightly different angle of attack to succeed.

• Something to Hold on to / Nick Spencer, writer; Christian Ward, art
~ 2 stars ~
Superman invites the kids from a group home to his Fortress of Solitude for a field trip. Toyman crashes. I zone out.

• Little Star / James Stokoe, story & art
~ 2 stars ~
I like the concept of an asteroid on a collision course with Earth hiding a special little mystery, but the end left me cold. That's not how Supes would've handled it.

• Namrepus / Mark Waid, writer; Audrey Mok, artist
~ 3 stars ~
A classic throwback sort of tale with Superman deciding to show up in the Fifth Dimension and prank Mr. Mxyzptlk. Funny and clever.

• Prospect of Tomorrow / Francis Manapul, writer & artist
~ 2 stars ~
Superman goes to Mars to play matchmaker with exploration drones? Bizarre.

• A Little Is a Lot / Robert Venditti, writer; Alitha Martinez, artist
~ 3 stars ~
A simple story of everyday heroism being a match for Superman's extraordinary abilities.

• For the Man Who Has Nothing / Michael W. Conrad, writer; Cully Hamner, artist
~ 2 stars ~
Oh, no, another bad Bizarro story.

• #SavedBySuperman / Rich Douek, writer; Joe Quinones, art
~ 2 stars ~
A cool concept wherein social media idiots start throwing themselves off things as part of a viral challenge to have Superman save them. But it goes for a preachy ending instead of something realistic or clever.

• Fetch / Judd Winick, writer; Ibrahim Moustafa, artist
~ 2 stars ~
Krypto arrives on Earth and makes Clark Kent happy. Ho-hum.

• Deescalation / G. Willow Wilson, writer; Valentine De Landro, artist
~ 3 stars ~
A crime is committed, and Clark Kent gets to save the day for once. Nice.

• Your Favorite / Josh Williamson, writer; Chris Sprouse, pencils; Karl Story, inks
~ 2 stars ~
Jimmy Olsen is a screw-up, and a pretty boring one at that.

• Red Sun . . . Blue Dot / Mark Buckingham, story & art
~ 2 stars ~
Baby Supes flies in a rocket while his Kryptonian parents have a morose voice-over dialogue.

• [Untitled - "Matthew 3:17"] / Daniel Warren Johnson, writer & artist
~ 2 stars ~
Jonathan Kent's a good dad. Yup.

• Streaky the Supercat in: Hissy Fit / Sophie Campbell, story & art
~ 3 stars ~
Cats, amiright? Hee.

• Scoop / Matt Wagner, story & art
~ 3 stars ~
Clark Kent's a damn good reporter.

• The Special / Tom King, writer; Paolo Rivera, artist
~ 3 stars ~
Clark Kent's a good man too. Yup.

• Son of Farmers / Darcie Little Badger, writer; Steve Pugh, art
~ 2 stars ~
I was a son of a maize farmer too. Didn't find any of these lessons shaping my life.

• "Ally" / Rex Ogle, writer; Mike Norton, artist
~ 2 stars ~
Nice, but really?

Books that review themselves: "You know, at some point along the way, this stopped being fun."

This book-long chase scene/shoot-out just ground me down. Any interesting bits were drowned out by gunfire and crashes.

I am actually surprised I liked this. I judged it by the cover and the description. I only picked it out because it was free. The story is and pacing is very good. The artwork isn't the greatest but the story does make up for it.
