Review of HoverGirls on WWAC

I had the opportunity to review Geneva Bowers’s amazing graphic novel HoverGirls for Women Write About Comics. Here’s an excerpt…

HoverGirls includes a few battle scenes, but most of the story’s action takes place across the dialogue between characters. This type of interpersonal character drama is the element of action-oriented magical girl manga I always loved. As in Sailor Moon, the fighting is all well and good, but it mostly serves as a backdrop to what’s really important – character development. Each character has a distinct voice and motivations, and their conversations are augmented by humor and just the right amount of tension.
