Reviews

[Bruce M]

Art that walks a line between Ho-Hum and Fantastic combines with the origin story of a beautiful but mysterious stranger.

Gritty, post-apocalypse stories with outcasts living outside an apparent Utopia that's actually an Orwellian Nightmare Super-City might be a dime a dozen these days. But there's some solid world building going on in this book. It got me curious, but I don't know if I'm curious enough to pick up Vol. 2 at full price.

Smutsig framtid där de korrupta politikerna inte bara är vanliga människor utan superhjältar.

En tonårstjejes förösk att hämnas sin familj. Hon utan superkrafter men med en stor skiftnyckel.
Det som drar ner är att tjejerna är lite väll avklädda för det mesta, antingne kunde de få mer kläder eller männen mindre.

This was AWESOME. Nice art, great lead character, really cool concept, fast pacing- I'm looking forward to the next installment.
