Cute art by Jamie Hewlett can’t offset the awful writing of Alan Martin. The stories themselves are pointless and meandering, and the “Brit-icisms” mostly went right over my head. Tank Girl herself is cute, and the adventures of the foul-mouthed, beer-swilling, Kangaroo-shagging minx roaming the futuristic Aussie Outback are fun at times, but mostly just pointless and sloppy. I’m kicking myself not only for buying THIS, but for buying Volume 2 before I read 1.

I loved this comic! I want to see more women depicted this way in comics. Why aren’t more out there like this?

Tank Girl is the name of a female survivour who travels around in the post apocalyptic Australia. On her adventurers she runs into various odd fellows(In this book she even meets the devil!) The comic is rarely takes itself serious, and the artwork is pretty fun to look at. Many small funny details.

Beautiful art meets great writings. Of course, if one prefers to flog a dead horse of superheroes it could seem “pointless”, but this comicbook book classic is still able to broaden any reader’s horison – and bring bucketloads of fun!!!

This was the concluding volume for the “Remastered Tank Girl Series.” Once again, as I have said in the reviews for the previous editions, this book is a wonderful TPB compilation of the comic with extras and an introduction to set the scene. A side note about that introduction: In spite of what Alan Martin wrote about him and Jamie wanting to take Tank Girl as far away from the movie as possible, this compilation seems more like the first volume, i.e. the prefilm years that the movie tried to mimic. Anyway, the content used in this volume is black and white and in color, while the art is constantly shifting to a new style, either due to Jamie Hewlett being a chameleon, or because new talent was brought in. The plot, although makes a psychadelic/homage turn every now and then like in the second volume, mostly sticks to the usual randomness that you see in Volume 1. Overall, I thought it was trying to match the material of the earlier years. Nevertheless, my only serious complaint about it is that they seemed to barely have enough material to fill this volume up with. It felt like this volume was way shorter than the others.
