It verges slightly more on the cartoony side, but it feels in line with the style of many more mainstream titles. Parson’s style is visually striking colourful yet with the ability to capture the subtle hues of this crazy world without sacrificing its grittiness. This is because it’s by Brett Parson, a long-time Tank Girl fan. You’ll notice that the art style has a new look. Long-time fans needn’t worry than Tank Girl is becoming some sort of ham-fisted social commentary, however: all the lovable crudeness is still intact and as enjoyable as ever. Characters appear slightly more fleshed-out and Tank Girl herself seems somewhat more… coherent than usual. The story in Two Girls, One Tank is slightly less surreal and more narrative-driven than many previous outings. While it may sound like typical Tank Girl fare, there are a few noteworthy differences, particularly in the storytelling department. Thus Jones becomes the eponymous second girl as alluded to in the comic’s title. While Tank Girl sets off on a mission to reclaim the physical manifestation of her identity, Magnolia Jones becomes so endeared by the tank that she herself shaves her head and becomes a secondary Tank Girl, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that life imitates art… or something. Though less-than-amused, it turns out the tank in question is not far-off: it happens to be in nearby Sydney, where it has been procured by an art deal named Magnolia Jones. Our intrepid outback outlaw sees her beloved tank missing after Booga bet it in a game of cards and subsequently lost.
