Review: "Tank Girl: Gold" #1

If you like lewd, vulgar and loud "adult content", Tank Girl #1 might be right up your street. But if you just like a good comic, then this one is definitely not for you, as it constantly makes the crucial mistake of confusing bad language and sexual content with actually being gritty, not offering anything beneath its shallow surface of stereotyped attitudes. 

All this is a shame, because Tank Girl #1 just looks absolutely amazing, with Brett Parson giving it an absolutely unique and stylish appearance throughout. Shame though it doesn't come with better writing.


4/10 

PS: I've awarded an extra point for the rather good additional mini chapter at the end.

Quickfire Combo-Reviews: "Superman" #7 / "Wonder Woman" #6 & #7

"Superman" #7: Another proof how well Superman can work on a small scale. A very down-to-earth story with a very down-to-earth Superman, who changes space and Doomsday for a country fair and petty thieves. A welcome change.

7/10













"Wonder Woman" #6: There'll never need to be another Wonder Woman origin story, because it can't really get any better than this. Scott's art wonderfully matches the grace and beauty of Rucka's story.

9/10













"Wonder Woman" #7: A rather confusing finale to what used to be a thrilling and captivating storyline so far. There was potential for a far better ending, but this feels like a rushed affair.
