Still highly enjoyable. The drama starts here! It's not just fun and games anymore!
I need to go back and review issues one and two as I think I have forgotten some thing.

Did I read this already? I vaguely remember some of the plot elements, but it's been a while.
As usual, the comradery and friendship between the characters is the highlight
Can't find a physical copy of this book anywhere. Was this series cancelled?

I love love love this comic!
Even though this comic is about roller derby, which I've never done in my life, it's still so heavily relatable. I've been that girl who's wanted to do something with her best friend but ended up in a different place (then again haven't we all been that girl). I've had the boy that I've called 'the boy'. I've had to juggle splitting time between my old friends and my new friends and feeling bad when I can't seem to get it right.
I just love the idea of female friendship in this book. I love that Cancan is starting to stand up for herself. I love the art. I just love it.

The friendship is taking a hit and it's obvious why. I hope these two best friends will come together soon.

And the drama has officially begun! A part of me wishes for things to get better for the pair but another part of me wants to see just how far this potential rivalry can go.

My girls are breaking my heart here. I love how racially and body inclusive it is without focusing on that as part of the plot. All these girls are fierce and I'm here for it.

Big personalities plus ever decreasing time to hang out makes for easy drama between besties.

May 1, 2017I think this is a good series but I'm just not feeling like this is for me, at least right now. I intend to revisit this later.

I feel this on an emotional level. Knockout is incredible. I love her.
The ending of this book was rather sad. I hope Knockout and Cancan's friendship will be restored to its former glory again.
