Woman World by Aminder Dhaliwal5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() There are newcomers who fall for village stalwarts, and people who don’t have many romantic inclinations at all. There’s the couple having relationship problems and confiding in others, and the others who may or may not have romantic interests in them. Much of Woman World focuses on the day-to-day problems that arise when one attempts to reorganize society entirely, but perhaps more compelling are the love stories that weave in between Dhaliwal’s major players. ![]() ![]() A child finds a DVD of Paul Blart: Mall Cop, and develops a harmless obsession, believing the Kevin James character to be a representative sample of the creature that was Man. Now, stores and shopping malls remain like ancient ruins, collapsed with capitalism, and women in cities develop new ways to reproduce in an all-female society. For decades, all babies born have grown up to be female-identifying, including the oldest woman in the book’s cast: a grandmother who was assigned male at birth, and who happens to be the only person alive who remembers when there were men. The premise here is simple: Woman has inherited the earth. Full of lively characters and a philosophy of inclusivity, Woman World is an utter delight to read. The latest in a long line of Instagram-serialized comics that have been turned into books, Woman World by Aminder Dhaliwal makes a worthy addition to the 21st century graphic novel canon. ![]()
