No. No one cares about Tank Girl anymore, unfortunately.

too boring for me m8

I will admit it has been a long time since I read any Tank Girl. In some ways she seems like a relic of a bygone era. I remember them quite fondly however.

Anyone want to storytime? I'm sure someone has them downloaded. I'm more than happy to provide bumps.
>>
>>84571461
The movie is utter shit. Just read the comics and you'll be fine.

>>84571470
Yes! Storyrtime!
>>
>>84571470
Tank Girl just seems like the 'og' of 'alternative' girls without being quirky manchildren so I'm disappointed to have seen her fade into obscurity.
>>
>>84571664
Maybe because of the popularity of characters like Harley Quinn she's sort of faded into obscurity.
>>
>>84571802
Hewllet started The Gorillaz after the TG movie. I want to say he was burned out from that from his bad experience with it and moved onto something new. I am unsure just how popular The Gorillaz were back then but I guess he was just bored/tired of TG - like he gets with The Gorillaz. I know a new comic came out last year for Tank Girl but I haven't read it yet, and I've never seen /co/ talk about it.

Hewllet is pretty fickle when it comes to things. I have no comments on the Harley thing. Tank Girl has just been unique to me since she's not a 'sexy badass villian' and its rare to see just the plain ole' punk, trashy girl in media.
>>
>>84571880
Yeah, I'd say the movie made him sore. At least we got the Gorrilaz out of it.

As for the comics, there's a few new ones like 21st Century Tank Girl and Two Girls, One Tank (came out very recently. As in 2016 recently).

>Tank Girl has just been unique to me since she's not a 'sexy badass villian' and its rare to see just the plain ole' punk, trashy girl in media.

God, how I'd love to see more punky stuff like Tank Girl, but it needs to be done right.

>>84575614
The original comic is about weird British excess in the 90s, basically. The plot is more or less nonsensical, there's little-to-no continuity, wildly variable art style (even just from Jamie alone), and equally variable writing. It's "LOL SO RANDOM" humor way before "LOL SO RANDOM" humor got popular, but it's actually genuine and fueled by a lot of drugs and that weird 90s futurism/globalism/whatever that had popstars wearing silver spandex and bindis. It's loaded with out-of-date pop culture references, ugly humor that's too late to be punk, some uninspired metahumor, and a lot of half-realized ideas.

It's basically an exquisite corpse made by two retarded chavs who thought they were iconoclasts because they dropped acid.

It's kinda good too but also it's a product of its time. It's the ultimate "edgy kid" comic for teenagers of 1991 England.

Yeah, by all means its pretty shit. It has a ton of flaws but I mean... Look what it had to work with.

It was so poorly managed that entire scenes weren't filmed. They ran out of money so the Hewlett guy had to draw quick transitions. So you awkwardly go from a scene to a half finished drawing transition into the next scene.

Maybe, but really, a big part of it is the 90's "attitude" and stuff. You cannot divorce that from the comic and the character.

Opinions vary but I think it's nice. Pretty obscure, so if you wanna stay out of the mainstream (and the big two) you won't get any more obscure than TG. I'm just starting to read some of the comics myself and I find them enjoyable.
>>
I kinda wish they rebooted TG and played it straight, but then people would call it a Mad Max rip off.

Because I've been told its a post apocalyptic comic set in Australia, with mutant kangeroo's roaming the outback attacking and raiding people.

But that's no where to be found. For a post apoc comic, civilisation seems to be completely unaffected world wide.

That's it major disappointment for me.

>Because I've been told its a post apocalyptic comic set in Australia, with mutant kangeroo's roaming the outback attacking and raiding people.
That still happens, but it happened a lot more in the earlier comics.

>But that's no where to be found. For a post apoc comic, civilisation seems to be completely unaffected world wide.
It's actually very post-apoc, just not in the conventional way. The fact that Tank Girl is able to do what she does should make that clear enough. Also, most of the comics takes place in the Austrailian Outback, so it would seem way more post-apoc there than anywhere else because, you know, it's the Outback.

OP here, does anyone want Tank Girl threads to be a regular thing? I think it would be a good idea if we want her to be somewhat relevant again.
