The day is November 1, 1988.\u00a0<\/span>Erin Tieng is heading out the door before the sun comes out to get to work. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PaperGirlsHer job is with The Cleveland Preserver, and she delivers newspapers in her town of Stony Stream, Ohio. \u00a0Things seem to be going fine for Erin, until she gets harassed by a couple of teenagers still out from Halloween. But, she is helped by fellow paper girls, Mac, KJ, and Tiffany. \u00a0Mac is definitely the leader of the three, being the one to actually get the boys to leave Erin alone. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"PaperGirlsThe three girls decided beforehand to run their routes together on Halloween night the year before because of the all the \u201ccrazies\u201d out that night. They let Erin join them and split up to get the routes done quicker, and Erin teams with Mac. \u00a0While separated, the others get ambushed by what they call teenagers in bad ghost costumes, who end up stealing their walkie talkie. Mac and Erin having received the call for help before they stole the walkie talkie show up and then, they try and follow them. The girls\u00a0end up in a new housing development, go into a house\u2019s basement, and find a mysterious machine that is emitting a strange hum. While they are examining it, there is a strange light and their flashlight goes dead. They run out of the house to get away from what they think might be some sort of bomb, to see that all the street lights have gone out and the sky has changed dramatically. \u00a0The girls are attacked by the \u201cghosts\u201d again. But this time, one of them pulls the mask off of one of them to reveal a disfigured face. \u00a0Tiffany ends up hitting him in the back, and he runs off, leaving them alone again, but he left something behind: a small device with a strange logo on the back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PaperGirlsThe creative team behind Paper Girls<\/em> is writer Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man) and artist Cliff Chiang (Wonder Woman). \u00a0Vaughan is able to bring these four 12-year-old Ohio girls to life with his believable and witty dialogue. However,\u00a0with the rating of 17+ years and up, there is\u00a0some language not suitable for younger readers. Chiang\u2019s art is spectacular; his ability to bring the mundane and the surreal out in each panel will delight any reader of this book. \u00a0This is only the beginning of the Paper Girls<\/em>, and frankly I can\u2019t wait to see what happens next. Luckily, at the time of this review, the story is already five issues in so I don\u2019t really need to wait until I read the fifth issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
