I think this is my second feminist comic series in a row, its easily better than animosity though.
The time traveling scientist got hit by the three men, they even have a futuristic weapon now, bad news right?
KJ gets her first period, bad timing, but is there ever a good timing?
The grizzly bear is killed but they are calling it grizzly rat, i ll stand my ground.
The tribal girl says she dreams of women who tell her what to do, i am guessing probably she is dreaming of our four heroines.

This one felt a little more like a filler issue to help further progress the story. I still have a lot of questions and I hope they get answered soon! Also, I'm kind of missing the 80's setting...not gonna lie.
One thing I loved about this issue was that it explored an everyday (or should I say every month) occurrence when it comes to women/girls that HARDLY ANY OTHER STORIES DO. Yes, I'm sure you're catching my drift...but seriously, why isn't this ever talked about when it comes to female characters in other books?
Anywho, I'm still eager to continue reading this series. I need some answers like ASAP.

This parts of the story was great. There was even a mention of "Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy" and the babble fish. I just love the 1980's Science Fiction references.

Getting your period for the first time when you're thousands of years in the past is just really bad luck.
The girls get split up and use the translator thing on the girl that almost attacked them. There's another time traveler and some hostile men running around too. Can't say I'm really loving the story all that much as it seems it's just a bunch of running around with no clear goal in sight.

Omg! The ending of this chapter!! I forgot the girls were like 12 years old until I read the last page.

I am not quite certain to what extend I follow this story, but it is as exciting as I wanted it to remain. Dinosaurs, Time travel, Future evil apple corp and Neanderthals with superior tech- the usual paper girls weirdness mixed with fillers and girl talks in this issue.
I think the story is going to make sense soon and show light on many of the unanswered, if not inexpiable plots.

It's creative, but honestly I'm not sure I like anyone involved, and that takes a lot of way from any story for me.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON! The fact that I'm so ok with how confused I am and the lack of answers I'm getting is a testament to how brilliant the writing is.

I have weird feelings about a man writing that last scene

Why did it get SO chaotic SO fast???????? Girls get reunited then separated in the span of barely a couple of hours, then our dear doctor gets attacked, then KJ gets her period 🤡

"I mean, congratulations?"
This issue was hilarious at times because it's such an odd situation they're in and for the most of it they really have no communication with all these new people they're meeting and issues they really have no clue about. I'm loving this new character with the baby because she seems to have such a fantastic backstory and the baby is darn adorable! Also, how hilarious and perfect was that ending, poor girls.

Oh my god I can't wait for the next issue! I'm absolutely in love with the art for Paper Girls, and the story is so intriguing!

I laughed audibly a couple of times.
There's one panel of "the three men" that most certainly brought a grin to my face.

Filling in some information for the story. All the girls are all over the place is this unfamiliar world. It’s all about survival.

Veo que muchos comentan que se está perdiendo mucho la onda de los 80's dentro de la historia pero recuerden que están vIAJANDO POR EL TIEMPO. Obviamente no tendrán la esencia de los 80's cuando están en la era cavernícola.
Me encanta el nuevo personaje con su bebé porque de cierta forma me hace sentir inspirada. Ella está dispuesta a creer en algo que sueña (literalmente). Muchas personas pensarían que estaría muy loco buscar a personas que viste en un sueño, pero ella está 100 convencida de que lo que sueña va a suceder y por eso toma acción.
Por último tengo que mencionar que ese final estuvo sumamente genial. No había leído en ningún libro (ni mucho menos en un comic tal como es el caso) dónde mencionaran el periodo (o la menstruación, como quieran decirle) y que lo mostraran visualmente. Es genial porque es algo que pasa en realidad y yo sieeeeempre me había preguntado por qué los escritores o escritoras no tocaban el tema y sobretodo cuando son historias que se viven en "épocas distópicas".

3,5*
No hace mucho terminé de ver la serie "Dark" y al final de cada capítulo me quedaba conjeturando con las mil teorías que rondaban por mi mente. Ahora me doy cuenta que me encuentro en la misma situación con esta serie de cómics, y más cuando la doctora dice "déjà vu".
Si las chicas están en Stony Stream, eso quiere decir ¿que siguen en el mismo lugar pero diferente época? (emoji pensativo).
El final me pareció genial y tiene todo el sentido si recordamos que nuestras protagonistas tienen 12 años, aplaudo a los autores.

A software update is required.
Not many men can write believable female characters. Brian K. Vaughan? I've never read anything from him before this comic, but it looks like nothing's impossible for him. Also, I'm in love with the design. Those savage people with modern symbols on their chests... Fantastic job. It's hard to believe that there's a comic that stays absolutely perfect for 12 issues. But there is and it's called Paper Girls.

But i still love it. Also,

Read in Paper Girls, Vol. 3.
The girls get separated. Erin and Tiffany are with prehistoric girl, and Mac and KJ are on their own. The other time traveler runs into bad luck.
Weird and fun.
