My review is for the entire series of issues #1-9.
Plot overview: Brittany has werewolf powers and with help from her witch friend Avril goes up against an evil organization trying to kill off Highborns.
My opinion: this series is action packed with a great story. Avril is a cool character that needs to be in more Zenescope comics. In fact, they should have continued the team-up of Brittany and Avril into more stories. The art style is very well done with great coloring.
Nip picking: Yup, I do have a few areas that I can do some slight complaining about. The first book states it is a 12 issue mini-series. However, it ends at issue #9. Confusing and a shame since this series is really good.
There needs to be more scenes with Brittany wolfing out. She is a bad ass in wolf mode and Avril's powers are under-used.
The story ends on a cliff hanger that seems to not have been continued yet. This sucks. Again, another series with Brittany and Avril would be so cool.
