Vee Kim prides herself on doing the right thing. As the lieutenant of the Valkyrie Squad, she is charged with protecting those who cannot protect themselves. She may have started out on the wrong side of the law, but that only means that she has an intimate understanding of the situations and circumstances that lead people to criminal activity. Now that she is a Collector, she holds herself to a higher standard. Of all her squadmates, she is the one most known for not letting the perp get away.
Except for that one time, with that one boy. Once upon a time, Vee Kim made an exception for a blue-eyed boy who’d been kind to her when she’d needed it the most. She let him go, but he keeps coming back.
I love that the character of Vee exists, and the story is entertaining with a few good bits of tension, but it's more a series of scenes from Vee's life, specifically her life as it relates to Marshal Underwood, than a story in its own right. Very light on plot and not as cohesive as other Timely Tales. Still, it's a nice short character piece, and I'm eager to see more of Vee in future stories.
I was surprised to know how far back they knew each other and that they both even kept track of each other. I'm glad Vee got to a better place in life and has a nice support system now. Her superpower was pretty cool, too. It was weird seeing that different side of Marshal.
