Reviews

[Quentin Wallace · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was shockingly good. To describe this series, I'd say it's a mixture of Hawaii Five O and Kolchak the Nightstalker. (If Kolchak was in Hawaii and was a really sexy female.)

Koni is a former stripper turned police officer turned supernatural investigator. The art is very sexy in this book, some of the best I've seen and I'm surprised the artist isn't better known. In the 90s "Bad Girl" era, this would be considering superstar artist material.

But it's not all cheesecake, as the stories are pretty fun, too. This is basically B Movie type fare, as it's not deep story telling, but it's really entertaining. The Hawaii setting is great as well and seems very authentic.

If you are a fan of Kolchak but like sexy women as well, this is something you need to check out.
