Girls Vol. 3: Survival

Girls #3

by Joshua Luna, Jonathan Luna (Artist)

Ethan's girl troubles just seem to keep multiplying... and multiplying and multiplying. The clones, spawned from his one-night stand with a beautiful woman, continue to prey on the women of Pennystown, taking their bodies to a mysterious giant sperm-shaped vessel. In order to find a way out of this nightmare, everyone must stand as one. But when temptation beckons, can the men be trusted?

“How come no one put any clothes on these damn girls?”
Finally, someone said it. Since issue 1, I’ve been wondering about this myself.
We learn that these stark naked creatures only attack human females. Guys are practically safe as they’re targetted only for mating. So, the men can’t be trusted while the women fear for themselves. An interesting limitation that adds tension to decision making.

I need to finish this series ASAP. So weird but so intriguing.

3 ESTRELLAS ☆☆☆
La serie sigue mejorando, poniendose más truculenta y siguiendo un hilo de coherencia entre sus giros bastante aceptable; sin embargo no termina por explotar todo el potencial que ofrece a ratos. Entre una obra apocaliptica de humor, una de thriller de ciencia ficción y una de supervivencia zombie de terror, no termina por acoplarse a un género especifico. Como punto a favor pongo todo el trasfondo detrás del gran misterio, de la criatura y sus origenes, sigue siendo bastante intrigante el conocer el por qué de sus acciones. Aunque eso no quita que sea una historia con desarrollo de personajes bastante mediocre, un dibujo normal tirando a malo y que las acciones de carezcan de fundamento rompiendo toda lógica para hacer efecto de guión. Sin duda es una obra que quiero que termine más por esas cosillas que me causan misterio que porque la estoy difrutando y no puedo esperar más por el final. Al menos la(s) "antagonista(s)" dejó de parecer tan patetica y ahora parece que puede ofrecer algo más.

Alright, this is 3rd volume is again, a little better then volume 2.

But still i can't get over how stupid, naggy and annoying every single character is. I get that people become assholes and group dynamics change when facing spermhunting-women killing/eating-naked zombie-alien-clones (Love that part💜). But why are all men chauvinistic pigs and all women dumb, hysterical and weak from the first second of part one of this series.. and it just doesn't get less. Really it ruins the amazing concept😩. Different characters and better dialogues and the story would have been brilliant!

Absolutely fascinated by this story.
Makes me take a good hard look at myself, my friends/family & relationships....
Book 3 made me laugh the hardest, made me think the most and had me wondering, in truth, how crazy and screwed up human nature can become... and this is without a homicidal giant sperm.

A lot of drama in this book. Still haven't learned much more about these girls, the bubble, the giant sperm, or where any of it came from. Just a lot of drama between townsfolk awkwardly making it through the odd events. I'm guessing there is supposed to be a message here either about women's equality, or weak men. I can't tell. I also don't really care.

Wow!

WOMEN GOT THE POWER! Finally!
Nancy you annoying B! You!
I just can't with her. She finally did something good.

Now Ying-Ma has lost it and the plot has thickened. What will happen next? Ooh!

Lol!

So much is going on. Poor men...hehe. I feel bad for Wes, he is trying to solve the problem but damn these people are just ugh!!

The last volume here I come.

3.5 stars

[Agnol · Rating 2 out of 5]

The mystery…well, it doesn’t deepen. It just sort of stagnates. Rather, more tensions that don’t really contribute to anything. At least it’s nearly over, which I guess is a plus.

[M · Rating 1 out of 5]

The plot continues to dumb itself down and parts read like it is written by an incel. The characters are all simplistic and irritating. Only one more volume to go thankfully.

[Johan · Rating 2 out of 5]

I feel like I am going to be disappointed by the end in the next volume.

[Andy Haddon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Consistently great.

[JB · Rating 4 out of 5]

Volume 2 may be my favorite one in the four-volume run.
It really gets tough in this one. Not only do the people have to worry about the aliens/clones.
They have to worry about their neighbors now too. It's women against men.
Everything that is happening in this little town brings a lot of suppressed feelings to the surface.
There's a lot of misogyny and misandry going around.

The women are fed up with the men, who are (at least some of them) having sex with the aliens, creating more of these women-killing girls. So what do the women do? They take over and lock the men up in a shed. They tie them on a leash and let them dig a ditch to protect them against the aliens. One of the men gets shot in the face by one of the women.

Some of the men escape and one of them can’t help himself and, three guesses what happens next.

Also the military is right outside the barrier, but they can’t see inside, and they can’t break the barrier. So the people of Pennystown need to find another way of breaking the barrier.

Are they ever going to get out of this crazy situation? Are there going to be people left, with the women being killed by the alien women and the men becoming the enemies of the women of the town? We’ll see in the next and concluding volume.

The third volume of ”Girls” takes the Twilight Zone premise of the series (a town isolated by an energy field as it’s being taken over by identical naked women who multiply by having sex with human men) and the conflict that has been growing (a war between the sexes as the invading women kill all females and seduce the males) and finally utilizes their potential fully.

I’m a sucker for stories- real or fictious- of groups of people abandoning civilized behavior while threatened or just isolated from their usual social frame of reference. The recipe is a simple one, but allows for some insightful behavioral commentary that sadly has a lot of basis in what we know about our behavior.

The Luna brothers make full use of the characters they have fleshed out during the course of two volumes as they take the reader into the darkest corners of human behavior. Things turn ugly, dramatic, but hideously plausible. B-movie concepts make way for psychological analysis that in my opinion goes far beyond the potentially problematic gender contrast and reaches something universal, greyshaded and uncomfortably recognizable.

I purposely made a point to read something in-between volumes 2 and 3 so I'd be able to put something in the box for volume 2, so I'd have the time to do so before I got two volumes lodged in there. Well, I messed up this time. Read volume 3 and 4 back to back, without pause. Ah well.

I was thinking last night about what I could write here - only thing I could think of was that this one seemed like the worst of the volumes. I mean, I didn't always particularly like how things were going in volume 1 and 2, but I read everything. I found myself accidentally skipping conversations then going back. Skimming. Then purposely skipping. There's only so much ranting, angst, whinning, ranting, more angst, and more whinning I can take before I just start skipping things.

So, yeah, this specific volume is, in my mind at least, lower rated than the others. Except . . even if we had 1/5 stars, I'd not rate the others 3.5, and I wouldn't rate this one 2.5, so I have no real way of differenating this difference. So . . um . . they all be 3 stars.

In any horror where the small group of survivors are under attack by the Other, there must come the point where the group fractures, becoming as much of a threat to each other as whatever lurks out there in the dark. When the menace is sexy naked girls, who breed more of themselves with men but murder all women they find, then naturally those fractures will tend to follow the gender war fault-lines already running through our culture. Are the Girls some kind of metaphor for porn, perhaps? In part, I'm sure. But they're not just that, and the correspondences aren't emphasised clumsily or didactically. Definitely a series that got more interesting as it went along.

[Tays · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well as it seems, this title is finally getting a hand over me. It's actually beginning to win me over with it's weird premise. In some ways, the more you read it the more interesting it gets for you. There have been a few flaws from the start, but the writers seems to be recovering. The few hints and touches on feminism is quite compelling and aggravating at the same time. Clearly, The Luna Brothers know what they're doing and for some reason it makes the next volume a bit more exciting to read. I'm actually thrilled to get on with that and see how things will patched up.

[Paul Hasbrouck · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read other stories were small towns have been besieged by vampires, zombies, spiders and other horrors, but in Girls, this town is faced with alien naked girls. The girls multiple by laying eggs, after having sex with any male in town, once hatching seeking to killed any human females and feeding they victims to they giant spem ship(really). The townspeople fight back, but also fragments under the horror and it only gets worse.
Original.

[Wa Conner · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Luna Brothers, Jonathan and Joshua, do an excellent job of providing beautifully rendered art, and above average character development and realistic conversations and engagements among the populace of a small town who experience and discover something frightening and troubling about themselves, and by extension ourselves.

[Steve · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series about an alien invasion has been really good. I absolutely hate some of the characters in it, which is a sign of great characterization on the part of the creators. They really capture the feelings of paranoia and dread that surely would rule people when in such an insane situation.

Gore. I like gore.
