“The book remains gorgeous throughout every issue, every volume.
Chiang and Wilson create big moments of weirdness—invisible mecha,
unraveling time machines, kaiju tardigrades, card-catalog
golems—that strike exactly the right balance between recognizable
and utterly inexplicable to create a sense of the uncanny in both
the girls and the reader. But they really shine in the quiet
emotional moments of contemplation and realization... It’s glorious
and moving, and also awkward and funny.” —Tor.com
“Amazing” —99.9 KISW Radio
“A brilliant series.” —The Plain Dealer
“Its tone is harder, flintier, funnier, more pragmatic, and far
less concerned with idealizing the ‘lost innocence’ of childhood
[than Stranger Things and Super 8].” —NPR
“Paper Girls is a reminder of how fresh and accessible even the
most familiar stories and tropes can feel when people who have been
consigned to the sidelines of popular entertainment take center
stage.” —SLATE
“A total blast, a mass-cultural mash-it-up that evokes everything
from B-movie creature-feature thrills to vintage YA angst to the
pop-plundering album covers of Hipgnosis. I've re-read the series
three times now—sometimes to get re-unstuck in Vaughan's
time-bending story; sometimes to study Cliff Chiang's vibrant,
spacious illustrations; sometimes to take in Matt Wilson's neon,
period-perfect coloring...Chances are you'll get sucked into it,
too—especially if Stranger Things...has whet your appetite for more
Reagan-era intrigue.” —WIRED
