This is an interesting book. It definitely has some possibilities. It's a brand new character, written by B Clay Moore, and art by Carlo Barberi. Carlo's art is very crisp and clean. It really has a kind of early Gen13 type feel to it. I'm not comparing the books in any way, that's just the vibe I get off of the art. We don't really know a whole lot about this character yet. We start out at her funeral. She recently died, and was 16 years old. But then we immediately go back, to what I assume was a few months ago . . because she's driving, so she has to be 16 there also. She's just going through her normal teenage life. But then something happens that puts her in a trance . . or activates her, or whatever . . and she kills a man. We don't know what happened or why, or even how the man was chosen. But she becomes aware a few minutes later . . sitting in her car . . covered in blood. And, really, that's the long and short of the book. Like I said, there's a lot of potential here, but it really depends on whether or not they do something original or not. This similar theme has been used countless times . . especially in the WildStorm Universe . . so it'll be interesting to see how they spin it this time. Obviously it's not a bad concept. It works. But really, I would just like to see a different take . . a new way of looking at it . . give us a different perspective. Please! So, overall I think it's an interesting start. But the proof is in the pudding. Where do we go from here?
