Yeah!

By Andrew D. Arnold

At last, a girl-centered comic book that should actually appeal to girls (and even their parents). Krazy, Honey and WooWoo, members of the band Yeah!, have achieved superstardom on every planet but their own, Earth. Here, they struggle with bad gigs and aliens who have crushes on them. Separately, writer Peter Bagge (Hate) and artist Gilbert Hernandez (Luba) have well-deserved reputations as creators of some of comics' most complex female characters. In Yeah!--drawn with a clean line and lively colors--they have collaborated to produce a pop-culture, sci-fi, mainstream comic that finally offers an alternative to Archie.
