Kim & Kim Vol. 1: This Glamorous, High-Flying Rock Star Life Kindle & comiXology
Kim & Kim are twenty-something besties out to make a name for themselves in the wild world of inter-dimensional cowboy law enforcement. In a massive "screw you" to their parents and the authorities, they decide to hijack some high stakes bounty -- and end up in way over their heads. Kim & Kim is a day-glo action adventure that's bursting with energy and enthusiasm. Blending the punk exuberance of TANK GIRL with the buddy adventure wackiness of SUPERBAD (if Michael Cera was a trans woman and Jonah Hill a queer girl partner in crime), Kim & Kim is a bright, happy, punk rock sci-fi adventure that is queer as shit.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This outer space comic book series with a decidedly queer- and female-centric tale is what our modern culture needs." ― The Advocate
"The comic feels like Tank Girl set in the world of Cowboy Bebop. In short: very, very fun. Oh and BTW, both of the main characters are queer—Kim D is a cisgender bisexual woman and Kim Q is trans and self-identifies as queer, though she’s still sorting o ― Bitch Magazine
"The summer's funnest comic!" ― The Mary Sue
“Kim & Kim isn’t just an incredibly fun comic book... beyond the sci-fi shenanigans and heroic quest the Kims go on, Kim & Kim is an LGBTQ-positive series that features a richly diverse cast of characters (including both of the Kims, one of whom is trans) ― io9
“A rollicking science fiction adventure comic about two young queer women working as dimension-hopping interplanetary bounty hunters...one of the breakout debuts of the year.” ― Comics Alliance

Like, I feel if I go too much more into detail I'll just be summarizing the whole book, and really you just need to read it yourselves. However, I will say that the Fighting Kims (sorry, Kim D.) take on all comers, especially when the rent is due.
Not only are the characters a ton of fun, but the story also has an awful lot of heart. Both Kims have complicated family lives that rear up at the most inopportune time, along with pissing off a known galactic big bad in the course of their duties collecting a huge bounty.
Anyway, I highly recommend this one to any and everyone.
I was really thrown by the conclusion (?) of the Quilt storyline, but I have a feeling it may come back around in future issues so perhaps there may still be a more satisfying resolution to that particular arc. Overall, I really enjoyed the first volume.
