i should go back and read she is life but i do have a better grasp on the story in this one than i did before.

also, i love how niobe actually really looks more like amandla without hair than with it.

Excellent continuation of Niobe's story. A bit darker but wonderful. Some of the inking(?) of some of the script should be darker though.

I think Niobe: She is Death #1 is already starting off better than Niobe: She Is Life was. Having all 3 covers in one issue was smart from Stranger Comics.

Again, real rating 3.5. Story and the world setting continues to be interesting, but this one was confusing in how many times it jumped back and forth on the timeline. Although I could see there were reasons for it, it made some things hard to follow as I was trying to figure out where a section was in relation to the rest of the story. I feel like it could have flowed better. It might be one worth reading twice to try and get everything, which isn’t a bad thing, it just takes me out of it a bit the first read through.

The first series “She is Life” was not available at my local comic shop. As a result, although I love the diverse fantasy world, I’m left a little confused. But I’m glad I picked it up; it’s refreshing to read fantasy that isn’t just Tolkien all over again.

I’ll have to get a copy of the first graphic novel. Once I’ve read that I’ll probably re-read this and adjust the rating accordingly.

The language in She is Death returned to the more poetic style used in The Untamed, which I wasn’t a big fan of. The art also returned to a darker style and that I did like a lot. But the story still feels like it is missing large chunks and it is a struggle to make it make sense.

Great art and fantastic concept. The story is very good but the syntax is sometimes hard to follow. Overall a good start.

Better than Niobe is Life for sure, but still lacking in story building and overall organization.

This graphic novel is gorgeous and has a badass woman protagonist. After I began reading it, I discovered it's a sequel to a book I haven't read.
