Lumberjanes

Publisher: Boom! Studios | Boom! Entertainment,Inc.

Writer: Grace Ellis, Noelle Stevenson

Artist: Brooke Allen

Summary:

Jo, April, Mal, Molly and Ripley are five best pals determined to have an awesome summer together... and they’re not gonna let any insane quest or an array of supernatural critters get in their way! Not only is it the second title launching in our new BOOM! Box imprint but LUMBERJANES is one of those punk rock, love-everything-about-it stories that appeals to fans of basically all excellent things.

I know it’s a bit odd to sandwich Lumberjanes in between two very adult comics, but readers, publishers, and creators should strive for diversity at all age ranges. What Bitch Planet does for adults, Lumberjanes does for kids, minus all the sex and politics. It’s the series I recommend to just about every reader looking for something wholesome and with positive race, gender, and orientation representation. It’s got a lot in common with the late, beloved TV show Parks and Recreation: Both are anti-patriarchy, sunshiney and chipper, and all about self-empowerment and community betterment through kindness and hard work.
