I loved this! I'm super excited for the next issue!

I picked this up because Gail Simone can get me to read the phonebook. The art takes some getting used to by it's a style that I think really works for the tone of this book. For some reason, the plot reminds me a little of Orphan Black. I can't wait to see where this goes next!

well Damn. I can't wait to see where this series goes. that switcheroo will indeed be interesting. abused housewife who can't stand up for herself (spoiler alert, those neighbor boys need a good kick to the balls if you ask me) and a hit man who has his demons too. whew. drama.

Well, shit, poor Juniper. She's just bullied by everyone around her, isn't she? Particularly men. I hope Case beats the crap out of them. And I suspect Juniper will learn how to handle herself from this experience. I can't wait to see more. All hail, Gail!

Not a bad start to what I hope will be a quality series.

Eeenteresting

Intriguing start, if slightly cliche-feeling. Hoping for some surprising twists after the somewhat familiar launching pad. The art is simply gorgeous.

The characters were good and the story was very interesting. I could see this becoming a movie.
