I don’t know if it was exhaustion or if my brain cells are dying at an exponential rate, but it was quite hard to comprehend what exactly was going on in the first issue of “The Final Girls” by Cara Ellison, Sally Cantirino, Gab Contreras and Joamette Gil. First off, the art style wasn’t exactly to my liking and the creators bombard too many characters into the story, most of who have weird-ass names, so it was harder to keep track of ‘who is who’. Half the time I was like “wait, I thought this was the other person”.
Plot overview – Not sure. I struggled to grasp the story’s essence even after reading the entire first issue. Attempting to read the second issue proved fruitless as my interest waned halfway through. However, according to the series’ blurb, it’s about a bunch of girl superheroes getting together against a powerful male hero.
“The Final Girls” was just not for me and because I couldn’t finish the entire series, which consists of five issues by the way, I am going to refrain from giving it a rating. If you are a fan of the superhero genre and too many characters in a story don’t confuse you, maybe give this series a try. It’s also available on Kindle Unlimited.
