Lumberjanes: Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fondant

Lumberjanes (Single Issues) #10

by N.D. Stevenson, Shannon Watters, Grace Ellis

It's a free day at Lumberjanes camp, and the Roanoke cabin is...bored out of their skulls. With nothing to fight the girls set themselves to earning all the badges they can that don't involve monsters or the supernatural, which is surprisingly hard! When Mal and Molly sneak off in search of real adventure (that won't put them to sleep!), they accidentally stumble into something more than they ever bargained for...

Me agradó el hecho de que la historia continúe, pero que bajaran la calidad de las ilustraciones, no.

[AleJandra · Rating 4 out of 5]

Por fin las lumberjanes se enfocan en sus medallas, ya cuanto llevan en el camp y no han aprendido nada de sobrevivencia básica en la naturaleza.
La calidad ha bajado, pero sigo enamorada de las protagonistas.

Even on a free day (no organized activities) at the camp, weirdness must happen. While April, Jo and Ripley decide to get all the boring badges the camp offers, Mal and Molly head off for a picnic, and almost immediately end up on adventure. That includes N. America’s largest theropod!

I love this series, but I would've liked it if the old artist, Brooke Allen, had illustrated this edition as well. But what I appreciate about this series is the fact that there are two young girls in a romantic relationship. It's a good message to readers, that yes, it is normal and okay to be lesbian and not something to be danced around, or hidden like it is shameful. Also, to those people who believe that someone is "too young to know they're gay" this proves you wrong. I really appreciate this series for making this plain to its readers.

4.5 Stars, buy it

The girls decide to use their free day of camp to earn “normal” lumberjane badges while Mal and Molly go on a date/picnic. Trouble of course ensues in the form of dinosaurs. The issue is left on a cliff hanger of course. Overall, this was a fun issue. I’m definitely getting used to the art and I love the fact there are lesbians in this group of girls. I’m almost caught up with this series, I think 3 more. Anyway, read this series if you like humor and just plain old fun. Also very few boys ever appear in this series.

This issue starts a new story arc, when the girls have a day off and get into... well... trouble, obviously. The illustrator is no longer the same as with issues 1-8, I liked the drawings but I found I missed the old style a bit.

This is the last of the issues I have available to me which is annoying because I could keep reading these forever. I much preferred the way the characters were drawn originally though and I hope they don't stay in this style???

Cool Bearwoman

This issue was adorable, but it ended so fast!

[Kouk · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is issue #10! In this one an adventure begins & continues in the next 2 issues! When i've read issue 12, i've hopefully completed another full adventure! Friendship to the max! :)

Dinosaurios!!! Con eso se me gana fácilmente!

Mal y Molly son super bonicas :)

[sparklemaia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I JUST LOVE LUMBERJANES SO MUCH. And Mal and Molly ARE SO IMPORTANT TO ME.

[Romi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Bien, bien, bien, un día libre no es menos peligroso para este campamento. 🤣

[Deni · Rating 3 out of 5]

The plot was better but I hate the art style even more

[Jordan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this series. It's written by ladies and it's got an all-female cast of characters. Also, this issue and the next explore more the budding romantic relationship between two campers, which I am looking forward to seeing develop.

Also, T-REXES!!

[Hayley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short & sweet.

[Tracy · Rating 5 out of 5]

My favorite comic. Always awesome.

[Tomb · Rating 3 out of 5]

Solid and fun issue that left me with a feeling of wanting more.

Also: Crap, now I need to read Giant Days #1 in march. The preview was interesting enough.

[Simona · Rating 5 out of 5]

All i can say is MAL AND MOLLY *squealing* So excited for them to have an adventure together!

[Scout · Rating 5 out of 5]

Date date date date date date DATE! Fictional queer cuties make me happy.

[Brittany · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved this but I am missing the old art

[Ria · Rating 5 out of 5]

So delightfully bananas, I can't decide if the supernatural shenanigans or the desperate pursuit of the mundane is more fun. And Ripley continues to be hilarious.

[Angie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent story so far. Great characters and some great laughs.

[Tina Grove · Rating 4 out of 5]

A little disappointed about the dinosaurs coming back into the picture but we'll see where this goes.

[Sierra · Rating 5 out of 5]

Single issues always feel like not much happens, but I'm still loving it.

[Gary · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yay!

[Jessica Woodbury · Rating 4 out of 5]

Instead of tagging all 10 issues of Lumberjanes that I read and making your feeds ridiculous, I'm just tagging the one. Just as delightful as everyone has been saying for a long time. More, please!!
