Sometimes, for no reason, the universe conspires to make a really amazing comic book show up on my front step.  One day, recently, I came home to a package that contained Mean Girls Club: Pink Dawn by Ryan Heshka. It is a really amazing comic book.

You may recall that in 2016, I had the pleasure of reviewing the original Mean Girls Club comic and I absolutely loved it. Blackie and Pinkie and Wendy and Wanda, Sweets and McQuaalude vandalized and fought and partied their way into my heart. 

But now, the coppers are on to them and Mayor Schlomo want those bitches out of his town. Assisted by the creepy priest and corrupt sister that are preaching away the play for the girls of the town, the Mean Girls Club is facing their greatest challenge. The Mayor extorts mechanic Roxy to spy on them until she realizes that she’s being double-crossed and joins the Mean Girls Club for real. This synopsis doesn’t do justice to the gonzo antics, the violence, the drugs, drinking, death destruction and monster mutation of the story. 

This is my kinda comic.

Originally part of Nobrow’s 17 x 23 project, which was designed to springboard new artists into print, Mean Girls Club is both entirely derivative of the mid-centry pul novels I love so much and wonderfully unique, with an overly modern political take. Mean Girls Club: Pink Dawn is a gorgeous hardcover volume with 100 black, white and pink pages of mayhem and hope for the future as the Mean Girls Club spreads globally. The Mean Girls give a “swift stiletto-stab to the crotch of the patriarchy” and if pisses you off, good. ^_^

Ratings:

Art – 7 Who knew pink could look “bloody”
Story – 9 Drinking, drugs, beating the innocent, torture, Pinky 
Characters – 9 Roxy’s got moxie
Service – 1 Slinky dresses and kicking the patriarchy and Pinky
Yuri – 0 Pinky is group leader and harem queen, though. And Wendy is still hanging on her leg. So, 1

Overall – 9

Drinking, drugs, violence, creative cursing and destroying civil order. The Mean Girls Club is the villainous organization we need right now.

I will now write a a little Pinky x Roxy fanfic in my head.

Thanks so much Nobrow for this review copy, I will treasure it always. ^_^
