Graphic novel review: The Girls

I finished reading the graphic novel series "The Girls".

In a small town in Pennsylvania a young man is having a bad day. Crap job, no girlfriend or likely prospects, he gets drunk one night and tells most of the town what he really thinks of them. Naturally, they kick the crap out of him. On the drive home he finds a naked knockout in the middle of the road. She's mute and wounded. He takes her home, patches her up, feeds her, and gives her clothes and a bed. In the middle of the night she comes and jumps his bones. So far so good. Sounds more like a letter to Penthouse than a comic book.

But the next morning there are giant eggs in the house. Giant eggs are never a good thing. Out of the eggs comes several more naked women identical to the first. They get out of the house, run into the woods, and start attacking people. Women people. The men are spared their mute wrath.

In the corn field they discover a giant sperm. When messed with it whips around it's tail and cuts people apart. They try to flee the town but find that there's a sphere surrounding the area with the sperm at the middle. The force field runs through the bridge that leads south from town. The bridge everyone parked on. With the bridge cut through the cars are too much weight and the severed bridge collapses.

They whole up in someone's house for several days. Men won't let the women out because the naked girls want to kill the women. The women won't let the men out because they don't want the men knocking up the girls and creating more eggs.

You learn quickly not to like many of the people in town.
The main character's ex-girlfriend is jealous. She thinks that despite the fact that she moved out of their house 6 months ago and hasn't talked to him since that he should remain faithful to her. After all, they're just taking a break.
The house that they're all hiding in is owned by a horrible nagging Korean woman and the former GI that she used to get her off the streets of her home country. He dies in his chair while she nags at him. You'd feel bad for him if he weren't so worthless.
Another guy in town has a similar problem. Horrible shrew of a woman with hair that looks like a mushroom married to a guy who just rolls over whenever she yells. And she always yells. She's taken control of the women in town and locks the guys in a shed. Her husband, and several others, took the opportunity to run just before the others were locked up. Seeing a guy nagged to death was too much. He didn't want to end up like that guy so he ran.
The running was started when a guy slaps his pregnant wife. Ok, it's started when mushroom head shoots him in the face after he slaps his wife. But, being pregnant with a boy, she's the only one they trust to let out of their new compound safely.
There's an overweight black woman who is overly sensitive and extra hostile to make up for it. Her husband spends all his time trying to reassure her.
The main character's best friend has sex with one of the naked women because he's trying to prove that sex isn't the reason the women lay eggs. Of course, he's wrong. He's a bit slow.
The town sheriff insists he's still in charge and that everyone do what he say no matter how stupid it is.
All around, there's not too many people you feel bad seeing get killed.
Not even the kids who run out to play with the naked girls because they think it's all a game.

Oh, the giant sperm? The girls feed dead bodies to it so it becomes bigger and bigger.

Anyway, you can probably pick up the four volume set at your area comic book store. Not really saying you should. But you can.
