A former Parker Girl is writing an expose that will destroy Katchoo and Francine's life. Katchoo is determined to stop the writer but to do that, she'll have to find her. Fortunately, Tambi knows the best bounty hunter in the world, Ivy Raven (from Echo)! Things are heating up, folks and we're just getting started!
I'm still not sure what to make of this series. Moore's storytelling is something that I really enjoy in some aspects, with character and the little out of the way places and all its details, but is one that I struggle to find strong when it comes to the overall narrative. Read Full Review
"Strangers in Paradise" suffers from heavy, heavy exposition--it starts with Katchoo in a dire situation, and then reels back how we got there. But it is so text-heavy, I felt like I was reading a synopsis. My interest revived somewhat with the brief introduction/mash-up with "Rachel Rising," but it only kind of made me wish I was reading something as good as that series instead. I don't have a long background with the "Strangers" characters, having read most of the first super-thick omnibus of the original series (40 or so issues), and I must say I enjoyed "Motor Girl" and "Rachel Rising" more than I am this. It seems sorta dated to me. Anyway, Moore's art is gorgeous, so it's worth it for that, but I gotta say this series is sort of just more
