Which other erin, she is half the people that appeared in this issue lol.
And where is KJ.
Mac knowing she will die in 4 years makes her invincible, i like that.
I also like the idea of when you die you die, time travel can't interfer with death.
The future erin taking the girls 68 thousand years to the future, but that wouldn't be fun right?

The art is still magnificent and I wish the issues were coming out faster because aaaaah I need to know!

Ooooh now this is getting interesting again.

Qué ganas de entender algo de lo que está pasando.

[Agustina Uliarte · Rating 5 out of 5]

Podrían empezar a explicar algo... Me encata todo, pero te agregan un "misterio" y no lo resuelven más... ya me imagino el último número.

Don't trust the new Erin🤔🤔🙄🤦🏽‍♀️

[Solace Winter · Rating 4 out of 5]

The ending keeps this going. Every time I think, "This might be getting too weird for me," it ends up having enough of an ending I want to just keep going and see what happens.

Con la frase “solo el tiempo es eterno” abre la octava parte de esta entretenida e interesante historia que te cautiva desde un principio.
Erin y su doble adulta, se encuentran registrando el centro comercial abandonado, esperando encontrar alguna pista sobre KJ, pero lo único que encuentran es un palo de jockey. Mientras tanto en la ciudad una bestia tremenda acecha en el mar, y las chicas se dirigen raudas a encontrarse con las Erin, pero se encontrarán nada menos que con la otra Erin (sé que esta enredado, pero es así jajajaj). En el interior del mall las Erin tratan de bajar el palo de jockey del techo, pero lo que la Erin del pasado encuentra la deja realmente sin palabras, ya que el objeto tiene escrita la frase “¡no te fíes de la otra Erin!”.
Uff, como me gusta esta historia, llena de ciencia ficción y de cosas raras jajaja
Una serie de comic que me está encantando que se las dejo recomendadísimo.

i like this story. it has that 1980's vibe to it like Goonies and Ghostbusters and Adventures in Babysitting all mixed up or something. i just love it.

i think i might have needed to get #7 too but i thought i got that already. hmm looking at the cover i see the store did not have #7 in so that's why i did not pick it up. i am gonna have to request it. i'll do that tonight! just like Lazarus i liked it a lot a lot and cannot wait for more.

i really like the letters in the back from Rita Pearl the Papergirl and fans. those are funny because she seems to take each one seriously like they are really in the guild or time travelers.

I'm sad I have to wait a whole month for the next issue, but I'm glad that this one finally answered some questions about what the hell was going on! It was a bit on the emotional side, too, and shit hit the fan. I'm so interested to know what's going to happen next!

[Vinton Bayne · Rating 5 out of 5]

What the heck is going on?! I've never been so confused and so enthralled at the same time.

Rating 3.5*
It should be higher, but it's my own damn fault for starting the series on issue 8 not the first one.
It's bot confusing at all, and I'm intrigued enough to want giro go fish out the earlier issues. Brian K Vaughn is an awesome writer, and the artwork is amazing, the story has a cohesion even on issue 8 that's very apparent. I can't do what I've just done of skipping all previous 7 issues of this story, with other series.
Did it pay off? Yes, I'm obviously entertained and intrigued enough to want to read more. This is a good series.

There are 2 other Erins but sure? lol

[Tamara · Rating 3 out of 5]

I would recommend waiting to read this in graphic novel format rather than picking up the issues as they were released, which is what I did. There are so many disparate elements and very little makes sense. The reader is sort of expected to just go with it for the time being, but that's so much more difficult when the issues are being read a significant amount of time apart from one another. I loved the beautiful, dreamlike colour palette, retro sci-fi aesthetic and '80s vibes.

Cuatro estrellas por el final. Esto cada vez se pone más interesante.

Ok, this has made me want to keep reading this series. Such a great ending!

[Jerry Jose · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am baited with the stuff from other timelines, that are somehow supposed to make sense in the long run. Going strong with the Cliff Chiangers, so far

[Casey Anderson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love it. That ending!? Which is it talking about. AHHH!

[Rachel · Rating 4 out of 5]

[Letande D'Argon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Totally love the Mac's story. And the ending of this issue... Man, the ending of this issue... it's just... Man, I love this comic. Every time you think you've got the idea about what's going on and it'll get more straightforward from now on, Brian K. Vaughan does this. A perfect cliffhanger that makes you both want more and think about what have already happened. The atmosphere is still perfect and with the idea that none can be completely trusted adds even more charm to this cute little gem.

These girls kick ass, and they are so cool! I’m an 80’s baby, so I relate to all of the so much. Loved all the characters and the storylines are insane! If you like stranger things and time traveling this is a must read. The tv show is coming out this summer too. Love the artwork and coloring in it. Really great books. Recommend getting the hard cover volumes. Very nice quality and beautiful graphics!

[Sandra · Rating 3 out of 5]

Solo sé que no se nada...por cada número que leo, entiendo menos ¡¡Ah!! pero el interés no lo pierdo.

Toda la historia viene siendo muy rara, pero este número es más raro todavía, si es posible tal cosa. Quiero teorizar pero me es imposible con tanta rareza dando vueltas XD

¡¡Qué final!!

Por cierto, hasta ahora la portada de este número es mi favorita.

[Darinda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read in Paper Girls, Vol. 2.

Still in 2016, the girls confront monsters.

Weird and fun.

Magnífico final, empieza a enganchar de verdad.
