A fun standalone adventure featuring ponified roller derby and the Make Your Mark cast. Sunny dreams of joining a roller derby team, but after being rejected by the Sandy Shore Slammers, a team that is mean, unhelpful, and overly competitive, she sets out to make her own derby team. Together with her friends, she prepares to compete in the Kenbucky Roller Derby to show the Slammers what roller derby and healthy competition are all about.
A nice story with plenty of humor. I really enjoyed the pony version of roller derby. Also, Izzy’s Garbage and Gargoyles campaigns look like so much fun.
Nice artwork. The change in art style and writing style in issue #3 threw me a little, but overall it was a nice continuous story.
Focuses on themes of friendship, teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship. The story nicely captures the supportive nature of the roller derby community, showing teams helping each other and rooting for one another while engaging in healthy competition.
An entertaining read for fans of G5.
