Review
"A funny, enjoyable oddly sexy read." - Under the Radar
"Tank Girl is goofy, crazy, romantic fun, and Bad Wind Rising is all these things and more." - Comics Cavern
"If you like indie comics knee deep in chaos and anarchy you need this book in your collection." - Giant Fire Breathing Robot
"With a fist-sized dollop of time machines and mad scientists this hardback edition will show your coffee table you like your women as mad as they are strong." - Knave Magazine
"The choice to do monochrome here seems to be motivated not by economic factors but artistic ones, and it’s one of the coolest uses of a limited color palette I can think of in monthly comics." - Nerdy Nothings

- Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2012The book itself is awesome. It's quite short, but it's oversized unlike the standard comic sized collected editions of TG's 2007-20** run. The dust jacket (pictured) hides an amazing & colorful hardcover.
The story is fun & dumb, and has a few throwbacks to the original strips (collected in TG Volumes 1-3). You're promised that somebody will have their goodies shot off every chapter!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2012This is much like the original Tank Girl comics. She isn't as bubble headed but the humor is great and the tougher, more sentimental persona is just as good. I still prefer the artwork of Alan Martin but Rufus's work is excellent!
Buy this book, it might save your miserable F****ng life!

5.0 out of 5 stars It's badass!
Lustigerweise habe ich dieses Buch zweimal...
Erst hatte ich es über amazon bestellt...und nachdem es versandt wurde, bin ich über die Seite des Zeichners, Rufus Dayglo, gestolpert, wo dieser ebenfalls das Buch zum Verkauf, allerdings mit personalisierter Skizze vom ihm, anbot. Wann hat man schonmal die Chance etwas vom Zeichner zu bekommen? *-*
Das Buch von Amazon konnte ich nicht mehr stornieren (da bereits auf dem Weg zu mir), zurückschicken wollte ich es aber letztendlich auch nicht. Jetzt hab ich eins was ich immer wieder lesen kann und eines, was geschont wird :D
Die Leimung der Seiten ist allerdings nicht besonders gut, da bereits beim lesen die ersten Seiten sich so nach und nach lösten und ich mir extra Buchbind-Leim besorgte, um die Seiten wieder einzukleben.
Die Story ist gut geschrieben, wie man es von den anderen TG-Stories aus Alan's Feder kennt und gewohnt ist... und die Zeichnungen sind allesamt klasse umgesetzt. Rufus ist, neben TG-Mitbegründer Jamie Hewlett, einer meiner liebsten TG-Zeichner.
Wer sich unschlüssig ist, ob er sich Bad Wind Rising zulegen sollte oder nicht: Kauft es, ihr werdet es sicher nicht bereuen :D hurhur~
