In Tank Girl: King Tank Girl co- creator and writer Alan C. Nor has a character who had a movie that was so poorly received by critics and audiences keep a sense of adventure and strong message alive. Not many characters from the independent comic book scene of the 80's and 90's have continued to adventure into the twenty- first century. My thanks to both NetGalley and the publisher Titan Books for an advanced copy of the continuing adventures of a young lady and her tank. Plus an origin story I could have sworn had already been done previously, but then it's a long time since I read the early stuff a crossover with sixties surf kids the Kook Patrol, and if you're not familiar with them, don't worry, their solo introduction is in here right before said crossover and a car race, complete with modding, to see who has to make the tea, which is such a splendid imbalance of effort that I can't help but love it. "Surrender, ye poxy resins! The sword of righteousness is ours! We have the higher moral ground!" Still, smashing ye olde manner of speech into standard Tank Girl dialogue has its moments: And if you think that's a tenuous pun, just wait until you see the contortions involved in its take on the Grail.
As in 'fucking' when you swallow the first syllable, but also because one of the stories in here sees the lead caught up in a scabrous reworking of Arthurian myth, and perhaps Once And Future in particular given the way it ends up with two rival kings thanks to the myth's two rival swords.
