I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Paper Girls Vol. 2 by Brian K. Vaughan (Writer), Cliff Chiang (Artist), Matt Wilson (Colorist), Jared K. Fletcher (Letterer)


In the previous comic, on one fateful Halloween night in 1988 in small-town Ohio, Erin meets fellow paper girls Mac, Tiffany, and KJ. Things go wrong when some people wearing head to toe cloth steal their walkie-talkies. They go in search of them and pick up a square piece of technology with an apple on it that the guys dropped.  Later Erin gets shot by Mac's stepmother. A suspicious knight swears that he can help but then so do the guys in cloth. They decide to trust the guys in cloth who take Erin to the future in the time machine the girls discovered earlier and save her life.  When they return her something happens to the time machine exposing the girls to an energy that changes them and makes them special.  The girls wind up going to the year 2016.

When the book opens older Erin is driving down the road when three girls appear on the road in front of her. They are Erin, Mac, and Tiffany.  They want her help in finding KJ. She wants to take one of her Xanax. Life hasn't turned out well for Erin.  She works as a reporter at the newspaper she used to deliver papers for and she's single and alone, except for her little sister Misty.

When she pulls out her iPhone they pull out the apple device and the two sync up and show a map that leads to the old deserted mall that the girls still know so well.  As the two Erins head out to the mall, Mac and Tiffany decide to find out about themselves.  Meanwhile, another Erin that is of the same age as the Erin from 1988 but appears to have come from the future is making her way through the town. She brought through with her two ginormous centipedes that are causing destruction.

At the mall 1988 Erin receives a message from KJ that says not to trust the other Erin and to go to the fourth folding.  When faced with both Erins she doesn't know which to believe or trust.  But make a decision and quick she'll have to do because time is not on her side.  This book takes the last one and ratches it up another level.  You become desperate for answers and while you do get some, you also get more questions.  This is a fabulous series and I can't wait to find out what happens in the next book.
