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. 1 by Brian K. Vaughan (Writer), Cliff Chiang (Artist), Matt Wilson (Colorist), Jared K. Fletcher (Letterer)
Paper Girls is set in 1988, Ohio and involves Erin, a newspaper delivery girl who on Halloween night meets up with three other paper girls, Mac, Tiffany, and KJ when she runs into trouble with some teenagers. They decided to split up into twos using Tiffany's walkie talkies to keep in touch with. Erin goes with the legendary Mac, one of the first paper girls.
Tiffany and KJ get their walkie talkie stolen by some really weird guys wrapped up in cloth. All four of them go on the hunt for them since the walkie talkie cost so much and means a lot to Tiffany. On their hunt they find in a building a mysterious machine. They go outside and have a run in with those guys and they drop a slim disk like object with an apple on it that looks like the apple that the new computer at school has on it.
When they go over to Mac's place to get the gun they run into Mac's stepmother who tells her that her dad just disappeared into thin air. They themselves had seen a kid from school be in the streets one minute and gone the next. Her stepmother tries to take the gun to kill herself and Mac wrestles her with it, but the gun goes off shooting someone.
On the way to the hospital, a man in a suit of armor stops them and says he can help. Then the cloth-bound people show up and insist that they are the ones who can truly help. Who should they trust? And what is happening to their world? Can a group of paper girls save it? These four just might be able to. This was a great comic showed the power and smarts of four young teenage girls during the time of some great mysterious threat to the earth. I highly recommend reading this book.
