Los gatos fueron el cuerpo de este tomo, y la historia sobre Korax (Beaky), el alma.

4 What in Katie Sandwina's name is that STARS



Hace mucho que no leí algo de las Lumberjanes, varios Arc's anteriores no pude terminarlos, pero con el regreso de las ilustraciones del inicio, no me pude resistir a darle una oportunidad a esta nueva historia.

La cual empieza de maravilla, engancha, divierte y deja con muchas ganas de más, me muero por ver más de esos gatitos sobrenaturales.

CATS

[Dakota Stein · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story was great as usual however this one was interesting because of the art style switch up and telling 2 stories in 1 I thought that waskinda cool. I am excited to see what 26 holds. I like each issue you never know what they are facing and what danger lay ahead and each one is thrilling and exciting great series all around

Fun start to a new arc (Kittens!! MAGIC kittens!!) And it seemed to include a teaser for a coming Goth Academy/Lumberjanes crossover?

Parece que han traído un estilo que me gusta más.

5 stars for the kittens.

[Thomas · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has kick-ass female characters, a unique and vibrant art style, and makes for a cool opening to the series with a collection of supernatural adversaries for the 5ish LumberJanes to battle against. The development sketches and stylized character drawings at the end is also a really nice finishing touch. Keep an eye out for all the other works done by this collection of talented young artists and writers, as their works include Nimona, Bravest Warriors, She-Ra and Moonstruck.

I read this issue as a stand-alone since I can't yet get my hands on the next volume. It feels like it is aimed at a younger audience than the first ones - which is fine by me. The magical kitten issue has not been resolved. I'm sure it will resurface. The second story line turned the myth of the siren on its head in terms of gender. There was not much in the way of character development.

I loved the end story and the mythology it involved.

Since I couldn't wait for Volume 7 to come into the library, I am now reading single issues at a time and it's killing me! But I love my Lumberjanes, so whatever is takes, I'll do.

[Satrina T · Rating 5 out of 5]

A new arc for the girls involving lots and lots of magic kittens and a giant bird.

This issue has a second story about a bird boy. I think this was my favorite part of this number.

Head Council is coming, what is the worst that can happen? Even when the girls try to keep things smooth for Jen something goes terribly wrong.

I wonder if I would be allergic to those weird kitties... Because I want 1000000 of them.

Lumberjanes #25: KITTIES! 5 Stars, buy it
 
Just when I got used to the other artist, the old artist returns.  Suddenly there is a cat problem. A mystical cat problem.  A Seriously funny cat problem. But this issue ends abrubtly and there is another story following it with a guest artist who I don’t think is very good.  I only skimmed the second story but from what I did read it was good. However the usual shenanigans which makes Lumberjanes so completely kick ass were missing. Over all a good issue. I’ll still give this 5 stars. But I want more of the possessed kitties story line!

Kitties. That is all.

[Jill G. · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great special 25th issue! Obviously I love any storyline involving kittens, and I also enjoyed the short by Clugston Flores (although I feel like it needed an introduction page?). Also I am v. v. excited for Lumberjanes/Gotham Academy crossover!

[Bridgette · Rating 5 out of 5]

Definitely my favorite since Noelle left. I laughed out loud multiple times. Plus, who can resist kittens?!

[Marta · Rating 5 out of 5]

MARAVILLOSO. Un issue genial. Muy divertido y super adorable (Gatos super monos *_*). El arco argumental empieza con muy buena pinta. Y la historieta extra con mitología griega <3

[Bridget · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the extended story as told by April at the end. This'll be a good arc.

[Catalina · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked the first story about the kittens getting magical powers. that second story about the bird dude was kinda lame and boring tho. .

[solène · Rating 3 out of 5]

"What was that?" "A not ominous and totally normal noise?"

[Brittany · Rating 4 out of 5]

Crazy magical kitten storyline? Sign me up. Also thoroughly enjoyed the short at the end of this extended issue! April is getting a lot of attention and development lately, and I'm all for it.
