review 1: The only justification I have for my three stars is the artwork; and the basic trajectory. Why don't comic book writers and publishers ever seem to have a grip on editing. The poorly-thought-out structure and delivery really impedes the enjoyment of a relatively brief story. Take any decent piece of literature, and something like this just reads lazy. Very. It's not impossible to do it well. Consult Craig Thompson's work. Shape up...everyone*.
review 2: This is fairly intense; a Portland girl goes unhinged when a corrupt cop kills her boyfriend and shoots her too. She decides that the world should be fair, and sets about making it so, by any means necessary. The first volume is setting the stage of her and the movement forming around her - I'm curious where the... more story goes from here. It's at the crossroads between 'what would happen if somebody actually DID something about corruption' and 'do the ends justify the means?' It doesn't offer answers, just a situation. The art is rough and grimy, and very in keeping with the tones of the story. less
