SLAM!
SLAM! | Pamela Ribon
15 posts | 28 read | 11 to read
In the fast-paced, hard-hitting, super cheeky, all-female world of banked track roller derby, two young women will have to decide if their budding friendship is stronger than the pull of a team when a win is on the line. When life starts coming at you like a freight train, you have two options: run away screaming or lean into the hit. From the first day of Fresh Meat Orientation for the Eastside Roller Girls, Jennifer and Maisie knew theyd be fast friends. But when theyre drafted to different teams, the pull of competition and their increasingly messy personal lives threaten to drive them apart. In roller derby you take your hits, get back up, and learn how to be a better jammer, a better blocker, a better lover, and a better friend. Derby can heal your heart . . . but it might break a bone or two in the process. Bestselling novelist, screenwriter, and retired Los Angeles Derby Doll Pamela Ribon (Going In Circles, Why Girls Are Weird) joins artist Veronica Fish (Archie, Silk) for a tale of friendship, heartbreak, and truly epic jams.

Pretty good comic on roller derby... But I got a little confused in parts, needed a little more on the characters, and wish the rules of derby were explained earlier than chapter 4. I‘d still read the next volume though. #bookspinbingo

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Great progress! 4y

This was really good! I loved the art style and it managed to have conflict while still showing the characters as humans and not villans. I definitely recommend it!

AkashaVampie @ElizaMarie have u read this one? I know u like graphic novels and comics 4y
ElizaMarie @AkashaVampie I have not! I just recently started really getting into comics. I love the artwork and found them super pleasing for both the story lines and the art. I am going to have to stack this one and see if I could find it some where. :) 4y

A relaxing week away from work in a lodge in the countryside of Scotland, to read, walk and catch up with myself .... started this with a hot coffee on the side ... I like reading a graphic novel every now and then and really enjoy them.. picked this up at my local library 📚😊👍☕️

You can't get much better then a graphic novel (4 issue comic) about friendship, roller derby, and kicking some ass. This was a really great read and I'd love a follow up with the same characters. 💗

hyperhawk @GondorGirl I have a love of roller derby 💘 7y

Turns out this isn't a great book to read if you're trying to distract yourself from one of your oldest friendships maybe falling apart???

I pretty much love anything related to roller derby and the friendships formed because of it. Some things happened a little fast but I really enjoyed this and wish there was more.

My goal this year is to read 104 books — that‘s one book & one comic trade a week. Since it‘s an election year, I may not make it, but goals are things to strive for!

My first trade of the year is Volume 1 of Slam!, a brightly colored look into Roller Derby and the friendships that are made. I love the artwork, I love the storyline, I love the setting — I can‘t wait for Volume 2!
