The story is about Sam, an Iraq War veteran with posttraumatic stress disorder. She works alone in a junkyard and talks to her imaginary friend Mike, who is a gorilla. When she learns the junkyard’s owner might sell it, she begins to see friendly aliens visiting the junkyard. When the prospective buyer threatens the aliens, Sam resists him.
The series received generally positive reviews. Critics noted how different the tone in Motor Girl is from Moore’s other comic work. The ending was praised for being well-planned.
