Fatgirl #3 is a comic created by John Rhodes and published by Hyperverse Comics. We’ve seen Adrenalynn and Fatgirl’s team in the Nothing-Man series, but this is the first time(timeline-wise) they’ve teamed up! We follow this pair from inception to their first mission. While the previous issues showed the origin of Fatgirl and showed her first attempt at being a hero, this one seems to be the first bite of the meaty part of her series. The dialogue is insightful and plot-pushing. There’s great banter between our star ladies with some corniness thrown in. We see some familiar villains and the plot gets thicker. I guess there are some lines even evil won’t cross.  All-in-all it seems like this series is gonna be a fun ride with a bunch of characters that we don’t get the chance to see that much.

            The art here is a bit more cartoon-looking than a Nothing-Man comic but that isn’t a negative. From a lab to a car park to the city, there is some great environmental art. From set pieces like lockers to indentations on air vents, sometimes it’s the little things that help sell a scene. The characters stick out like sore thumbs which is a great thing, no two are alike. From the brightness of Adrenalynn to the steel look of Fatgirl and even the casual outfit of that one woman whose name I don’t think has ever been said in an issue, they all look unique. Faces are full and expressive per usual, leading to some bonus laughs and adding that extra punch to what they say.

“Is this worth reading?”

Yes.

“Would I like this?”

If you like superheroines doing big things against villainous women you should give this a try. This a story-driven plot, not just a bunch of mindless fighting.

“What would this comic’s film rating be?”

PG-13.

“Could I get a quote from the comic?”

“Oh, ok. We’re hugging now.”
