[Stephen Theaker · Rating 3 out of 5]

I've seen Zenescope comics around and been put off by the sleazy covers, but reading this was a nice surprise. It's a world where most heroes seem to be female, but here at least they are treated respectfully and not forced into gratuitous cheesecake shots, except maybe the last story. For a collection of one-off specials it is surprisingly coherent, more so than some DC and Marvel collections of consecutively-numbered issues I can think of.
