Highly entertaining! Love the banter between Max and Alex. Very sci-fi/pulp feel. Looking forward to the next one!

This is Amazing. I mean its campy but you should expect that. Its also witty and has interesting characters.

Nice artwork and entertaining characters, but the story wasn't as strong as I would have liked. Your mileage may vary.

Great new comic from David Booher, Killer Queens puts the ass back in assassins. Literally that's their tag line. From Dark Horse,

This feels quite dated. Full of stereotypes and bland story telling.
