I’ve gotten a little behind with this series, but I’m finally going back to Lumberjanes with Volume 12. There’s some continuity back, with the previous volume which I had to go look up for reference since it has been that long. April has started what is essentially a bestiary of all the various creatures encountered in the forest that’s quite detailed, except that the page for “The Voice”, the ominous mysterious presence that caused some trouble in volume 11 remains blank save for the heading. […]

Lumberjanes The Shape of Friendship by Lilah Sturges

January 26, 2020 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I wouldn’t have known this if I had not noticed the back of the book, but apparently Lumberjanes: The Shape of Friendship is the sequel to The Infernal Compass. There is very little in the story to show the two are actually connected in any other way than featuring the same general setting and cast of characters. I actually like the ideas introduced to the Lumberjane universe in The Infernal Compass, and I’m a little sad that those elements got no more development; I hope […]

Lumberjane Standalone

Lumberjanes: THe Infernal Compass by Lilah Sturges, Polterink

Bingo 16 (Illustrated) I really liked the first few installments of the Lumberjanes series, and then things started to get uneven, both in terms of art and the story. Then came Lumberjanes: The Infernal Compass. This volume isn’t part of the main series exactly, it’s a stand-alone graphic novel, but it seems to go back to the original spirit in ways I really appreciated. A significant bit is dedicated to a single story that’s not an obvious episode (a good thing). The basic story focuses […]

“I would like to point out that I specifically asked for no hijinks…”

CBR11Bingo – Rainbow Flag! The Lumberjanes’ latest adventure begins when troop leader Jen takes the scouts on an orienteering lesson. Naturally, weird things begin to happen despite Jen’s plee for “no hijinks!” but the girls aren’t really to blame. Rather, their bizarre compass seems to be acting up, and the ‘janes start disappearing one by one, thrown into some sort of alternate void where they meet a cohort of robot butlers. EVIL Robot Butlers?! But which conflict is worse: taking down a bunch of evil […]

Joy in a comicbook form – great to read, great to gift, two enthusiastic thumbs up.

September 16, 2018 by cheerbrarian Leave a Comment

The Lumberjanes fill me with so much joy it is hard to encapsulate on the page. I want to sing about it from the rooftops, and I just might do so, to get more people reading these powerful comics. I first heard of this delightful series from the Literary Disco podcast, my go to source for reading material. I don’t read a ton of comics/graphic novels, so I sort of put it out of my mind, and I am kicking myself squarely in the butt […]

The Good, the Bad, and the Lumberjane

May 21, 2017 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

The good: returning to a main storyline about trying to figure out the supernatural goings-on at summer camp. I was feeling let down by the last volume, because of its use of a series of short stories that had little direct connection to the main storyline. Now we’re back to the unusual happenings and trying to figure out what they all mean. It also worked to re-arrange the team for a little while, with Molly and Ripley working on one part of the problem in […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
