Lumberjanes, vol. 2: Friendship to the Max

Lumberjanes, vol. 2: Friendship to the Max, written by Noelle Stevenson, Grace Ellis, and Shannon Watters, with art by Brooke Allen, 111 pages

Despite the weirdness surrounding Miss Qiunzella Thiskwin Penniquiqul Thistle Crumpet's Camp for Hardcore Lady-Types, the Lumberjanes are determined to still have the best summer ever. But when they encounter craziness of mythic proportions, even Jen, their by-the-book counselor, finds she has to get involved. Can they survive dinosaur attacks, sibling rivalries, and bear ladies, all while still earning their Friendship to the Craft badges?

This and Ms. Marvel are some of my favorite comics that I read this year. I love the zaniness of Lumberjanes, and as a former Girl Scout, this reminds me of all my favorite memories of camping back in the day. Sadly, we didn't encounter any secret caves filled with anagrams and star maps, but there's a different level of fun when you're roughin' it with you besties. This volume continues the story arc from volume 1, and ends it, tying up all the loose ends tighter than a friendship bracelet. I can't wait to read volume 3 and see what's next for our girls.
