Making 'Paper Girls' 'Wikipedia-proof' meant change. Here are the creators' favorites

"Paper Girls" features time travel, opposing future factions in a secret time war, mysterious technology and even giant robot battles, but at its core it is a coming-of-age story about four 12-year-old girls.

Based on the Eisner Award-winning comic book series by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang, the Prime Video series, which debuted last week, follows four paper girls who find themselves thrown into the future after encountering some mysterious teenagers while delivering newspapers during the predawn hours on the morning after Halloween in 1988.

As Erin Tieng (Riley Lai Nelet), Mac Coyle (Sofia Rosinsky), Tiffany Quilkin (Camryn Jones) and KJ Brandman (Fina Strazza) try to figure out what has happened to them, they eventually learn about an ongoing time war and meet future versions of themselves in the process.
