Mission: “I’m from a small, southern town. All I ever dreamed of was getting out and seeing the world. After getting out and seeing very small pieces of the world, I can honestly say I’ve yet to feel truly at home anywhere. But I’m still looking. Besides my love of travel, the only other constant in my life has been my love of art – in particular, drawing comics.

It’s been a couple of years since Tank Girl made her dramatic comeback. Since then she’s been kicking a lot of physical and metaphorical butt. After a hiatus of over a decade, the punk rock comic character is making up for lost time, with a slew of new adventures in book and comic form.

Created by anarchist wordsmith Alan Martin and artist Jamie Hewlett, Tankie (as she is affectionately known to those in the know) first made her debut in the pages of UK comic magazine Deadline in 1988. Her “fuck you” attitude instantly resonated with Britain’s disenfranchised, Thatcher-abused youth, and it wasn’t long before Hollywood came calling. However MGM’s 1995 film, which captured the look but not the spirit of the comic strip, pretty much stopped Tank Girl in her tracks.

Fall is here, finally (but tell that to the oppressive heat wave Los Angeles is currently experiencing), which means it’s time for the kids to go back to school, for football to start up again, to bid adieu to the dog days of summer TV dreck, and to grant a warm welcome to new and returning shows. Thankfully, it looks like this season has some strong contenders, and while I’d love to fully recap and nerd out over each one of these individually, I don’t think I’m allowed to (plus, there are actual TV critics who will do that for you). So, instead, I thought I’d offer up my top seven favorite moments of this premiere week. Why seven? Because I’m just nutty for prime numbers.
