⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 / 3.5 starsHave you ever come across a book or series that even though you didn't fully understand what was going on you couldn't help but keep reading anyway?That is Paper Girls for me. Half the time I feel kind of clueless but it's almost like it's part of the experience and the illustrations and coloration are brilliant.This time the girls have traveled through the Folding and seem to have ended up in a pre-historic time while in search of their lost friend KJ. They reunite with her and also pick up a couple new friends along the way.

Happy to have it

A continuation of a great time traveling adventure story.

Vaughan manages to twist and weave our protagonists through more times and locations and creating and ever expanding roster of characters for them to meet without completely bogging the story down or creating needless confusion. Everything makes sense. Or at least has some kind of set-up and pay-off that feels deserved. There aren't random deus ex machina thrown at you from different dimensions for no reason, as some time traveling stories tend to rely on.

If you have vol. 1 and 2, yes, yes you should buy this.

I have been working my way through the series and this volume lives up to the previous volumes 1 & 2. Ready for 4 and 5!

The story is taking an interesting turn and I am hooked and invested in these girls lives now. Even maybe some future budding romance.
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2018
This series is a wonder to behold.

Story: So, Mac, Tiffany, and Erin finally meet up with their friend KJ, who was absent from volume 2 and they find themselves in what they believe to either be thousands of years in the past, or thousands of years in the future. As they try to navigate the world around them, they meet a cavewoman with child who warns them of three men who are after her son. While this is going on, we're also introduced to Dr. Quanta Braunstein, a scientist/explorer from 2055. The main story is about the three men wanting "their" son back. There's beasts, fourth dimensional beings, time rifts, and future tech all here, but it's in much smaller quantities than in previous volumes. I found this book less exciting than the previous two because of that. That's mostly why I can only give this 4 stars. This book is about the adventures of four sixth grade girls and Vaughan goes a little into some things that girls might deal with growing up, like giving KJ her period, and KJ having a tech induced vision of the possible future where she kisses Mac. There's an acceptable amount of action here, but I would have liked to see more cameos from the big time travelling organization run by that old man with the long beard. I'm assuming he's the bad guy. The very end is pretty cool and the cover of volume 4 kinda hints at what it'll be covering. So yeah, decent action, not enough sci fi stuff present here, but a solid, coherent story about four girls just trying to get back home to 1988. I think Vaughan is very talented in writing a time travel story as he offers resolution to an unexplained event from volume 2 through the use of time travel. It looks like volume 4 will deal with the cool sci fi stuff I want to see. I'm definitely good for volume 4.

Art: Chiang does a nice job here. "Smooth" is probably the best way to describe his pencilling style. But, I don't see as much detail in this book as when he drew Wonder Woman. I'm a person who likes a lot of detail in their comics. Chiang is great here, but I've seen how much more detail he can put in his drawings. Matt Wilson may be the best colorist in comics today, aside from Tomeu Morey. I kinda feel that half of the experience of reading this title is allowing the 80s vibrant tones to wash over you. If the covers of these books are any indication, this title is quite vibrant, rich in color, and the specific colors and combinations on each page give this whole book a modern retro feel. That's popular, isn't it?

Overall: A nice entry with some significant character development for KJ, a pretty good look into a great sci fi saga that I'm definitely going to keep reading. This book was a good bit above average. Not great imo. In between good and great. I DO recommend this if you've been reading this till now.

Vaughan, Chang, and Wilson continue to make one of the most delightful and compelling comic series in recent years! If you're a fan of Vaughan's other stories and of the first 2 Paper Girls volumes, you'll definitely like this one!

This series does for me what Stranger Things tries to in a way that feels a lot more fresh and original while still addressing '80s nostalgia in a meaningful way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brian Vaughan é um dos melhores escritores de quadrinhos da história.
Reviewed in Brazil on October 3, 2017
Paper Girls, juntamente com Saga, afirmam de uma vez por todas o dom da escrita de Brian Vaughan. Neste volume 3 temos o grupo de meninas que atravessou um portal dimensional, desta vez para o passado bem remoto, encontrando inclusive os primeiros traços da humanidade. A narrativa é soberba, todos os elementos apresentados coadunam com as edições anteriores, alguns mistérios são deixados com explicações quase aparentes e pelo que tudo indica o volume 4 será de grande revelação.

Para quem leu até aqui, a história não poderia estar melhor.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 17, 2017
Third volume in the series of paperbacks which collect issues of the comic 'Paper Girls.' The story of four twelve year old girls from 1988 caught in the middle of strange time travel related happenings.

This collects issues eleven to fifteen of the comic. It divides them up by using the original cover art for chapter pages, so you can see where each issue ends and another begins.

As with books one and two, this contains strong language, violence, and adult moments, so is a comic only for grown up readers.

There is no exposition in here for new readers, so they should start with book one.

Picking up from where book two left off, this sees the four main characters reunited. In the dim and distant past. Problems await. How to survive. how to get home. How to communicate with someone they meet. And then there's the fact that they are not the only things to come to this time period...

A comic that keeps up it's consistency, delivering another very entertaining volume here. As before, the whole thing is solidly character driven. The leads do convincingly act their age and like people from their time. The art is superb and eye catching. There are moments of great drama that really will have you gripped.

And although the plot remains mysterious, there is just enough hinted at here to make clear a few things that are going on. So it does have some progression on that.

Plus it all ends on a superb and surprising cliffhanger that will make you desperate to find what happens next.

Another great volume in a great series.
