If I have to read the word groovy one more time I will beat someone severely. Groovy is an annoying word and one of the characters in this book says it every five seconds. Other that that, it’s a pretty cute book. It vaguely reminds me of Charlie’s Angels. Okay, it reminds me A LOT of Charlies Angels, except two of them use weapons other than their hands. This is the tryout issue. Our three heroines battle to become members of the *sound the trumpets* Super Dooper Groovy Space Chicks. Your Ultra GROOOOOOVY super trio of damsels is Liz, Billy, and Cindy. Liz is your science wiz. She sucks at hand to hand combat, but can shoot well enough. I really like the balance of power there. She looks kinda like a thinner and bustier Velma from Scooby Doo. It’s probably just the short hair and glasses that make me think that, though. Billy is your artillery and shooting expert. If it moves, she can shoot it. Cindy is your hand to hand combat expert. She doesn’t need any weapon to defeat you, her hands are good enough. Now, it’s time for a minor gun rant. I don’t know much about guns. Yeah, I know I’m Texan, get over it. However, I do know that guns do not have square barrels. Even if it was an engery weapon, which I’m not sure it is, a circular barrel would be the best shape. Additionally, a handgun does not have or need a scope. Scopes are for things like rifles with distance. And I couldn’t help but laugh when I got to the bios at the end of the book. My god! 5’4" with huge knockers and she only weighs 100 pounds! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I’m 5’4" and I have huge knockers. I haven’t seen one hundred pounds since I was in fourth grade! Additionally, this chick is supposed to be highly skilled in various forms of unarmed combat, and she only weighs 100 pounds? Get real! In order to have huge breasts and do various forms of martial arts, she’d have to be, at very least, 25 pounds heavier. Billy is 5’6" and is supposedly 105 pounds. Someone feed these poor women, for the love of GOD! Healthy weight for a person who is 5’4" and has a normal build is 125 pounds. They most likely would have an eating disorder and those boobs are undoubtedly plastic. Someone might want to change their weights a little bit to make them more realistic. The art is nice looking. However, the only way to tell the women apart is that one has glasses, one has pigtails, and the other has neither. Additionally the artist needs to work on varying the poses used by the characters. There’s one two page spread where two of the characters are in near identical poses. The bodies are relatively well done. A little more attention could be paid to the anatomy, but really distinguishing the characters faces would improve the art in the book by miles. My fear in this comic is that it’s never going to fully develop with a real plot and real characters. I recognize that the tryout has to be good, otherwise the characters wouldn’t have made it into Super Dooper Groovy Space Chicks, but it just seemed too easy, and shallow. Like I said, I liked the book. It was amusing, and pretty cute. It just needs some fine tuning.
