Paper Girls Volume 3 by Brian Vaughan

Volume 2 left us with 1988 Erin and friends jumping through a fold in time, from the helicopter flown by 2016 Erin's little sister (and technically 1988's sister too). Space snot demons are tearing apart the city, and seemingly the helicopter, when the girls jump.....


straight into pre-historic times? Whoa.

My understanding here is that the parallel universe theory is a myth and time is really in a straight line. Who created the rifts in the timeline? How are the girls jumping around like this without injury? Hey, they'd like to know the answer to that too.

Thankfully, the weird little Apple gadget really did lead them to KJ. This volume is crazy full of Apple symbols and computer symbols on pre-historic creatures and landscape. Bizarre in the weirdest way, especially since I'm not an Apple fan.

The girls meet up with a cave woman and her baby and someone from the future who may have invented time travel and may have caused this mess!

Add in KJ's disturbing visions of her future, which she might come to like, more monsters and insane cavemen. Oh, and a 12-year-old getting her period in a time where there are clearly no maxi pads to help her out. Awesome.

Keep going...... Now where is Volume 4??
