Ha ha, yessssssssssss, so much great stuff is happening in comics in terms of tiny bitches doin shit. By the time Eleanor can read on her own, I'mma be like, THE LIBRARY IS YOUR OYSTER.

Basically.
Violet lives in the trailer park of space, and her mom is a seamstress and her dad harvests whale poops (which is the energy source of choice in space) and whales just eat like fucking EVERYTHING and then they eat Violet's school. All her friends move on to other things, she makes two new friends out of some losers and nerds she finds hanging around, her dad volunteers for a secret mission and GOES MISSING and Violet heads off to find him.

Wait...no.
There's lots of great class stuff going on here, Violet's mom is focused on becoming citizens and accruing the rights thereof, like warmth, and her dad is worried about Violet hanging around snobby elitist bitches (but then she ends up not getting into the state-of-the-art snobby-elitist-bitch school because of her dad's criminal record).

And there's lots of great GIRL CHILDREN KICKING ASS AND RESCUING NAMES or whatever I'm not sure how the saying goes but TINY LADIES BRINGING DISPARATE PEOPLES TOGETHER TOWARDS A COMMON GOAL. I'm for it. Also, Violet is the sort of sprightly sass-pocket I can get behind, like Nimona but younger and not as edgy (or angry, or shape-shifty).

DUDE AUTHORS WRITING COMPLEX FEMALE PERSONS I don't even know what is happening anymore.

It really is.
