Across my love of various cartoons and toy lines, I've watched a majority of them cycle through multiple iterations and the best ones have been able to make interesting changes and employ different tones while still retaining their core. In the past several years, I've really taken to classic pulp heroes like Flash Gordon. But even though Flash has been around for 90 years, as a character, he's remained relatively the same with a few changes. Flash Gordon: The Girl from Infinity dares to make big changes and is all the better for it. Marguerite Bennett and Bev Johnson have reimagined Flash and Dale by gender swapping them, and indeed, all the characters in the world are different, but also the same. This new version is incredibly fascinating, and I really hope to see more in the future. As a girl uncle, this is exactly the type of book I want to hand to my niece to try and get her into Flash Gordon. Job well done.

Special Thanks to Papercutz and Netgalley for the digital ARC. This was given to me for an honest review.
