Mean Girls Club is a mini-comic in a way. It’s a stand-alone story that begins and ends within the pages of this book. The narrative isn’t that strong, but then I don’t think that’s the point. It reminded me of other Nobrow Press books that I’ve checked out this year that felt short and sweet. Mean Girls Club is a quick read. Much quicker than the other books (click here to see more from Nobrow), but in a way more enjoyable. It knows exactly what it’s doing and what it wants to do. The story begins with a cabin in the middle of the woods and a woman tied up with her head through a wall and sticks out of one of those animal trophy plaques. She’s crying, and her tears are also producing ice. A second woman fills up her glass with the tears and ice. This woman, who we learn is named Pinky, calls to order the 113th secret meeting of the Mean Girls Club. We meet the five other women that make up the club, and they decide to pay tribute to the ghosts of their founders.
