Jane’s World

    (Girl Twirl, 2002-Present)
™ and © Girl Twirl Comics

Jane is a working woman with a circle of friends and co-workers. While Jane is gay, Jane’s World is not a “gay” comic book; it’s a comic book whose protagonist happens to be a lesbian.

It’s good to see another female creator in a field where there are far too few. This appears to be a collection of Braddock’s daily online comic strip. Sadly, Jane’s World lacks any apparent appeal to males. (Being a man, I am in no position to judge whether it actually has appeal to women.)

It is vaguely reminiscent of The Norm, except that it lacks any laugh-out-loud moments. The art is frequently crudely rendered, and most of the characters lack any real depth, at least in this issue. The one bright exception is the mysterious Chelle, who resembles Trinity from The Matrix, who is seemingly Jane’s heartthrob.

The potentially most interesting sequence, a head-injury-induced trip to a parallel universe inhabited by female super-heroes, is cut with a dismissive “but I’m sure no one is interested in that.” Yes, actually, we are!

The “gag-a-day” strips in the letters pages seem stronger than the serialized main story. But it might be a Mars/Venus thing.
