No longer willing to let her boyfriend/pimp treat her like dirt, Cabra Cini got lethal payback with the help of voodoo magik - and liked it. Voodoo became her new addiction and Cabra has cleaned up her act and forged a deadly new vocation…
'Voodoo Trespass', Cabra's debut story, throws us headlong into her twisted world, when she is hired by bereaved parents to take out the teenage boy who killed their daughter, ‘playing vampire’. Cabra utilizes her magik to access a dimension known as ‘The Infinity’ – Limbo’s ‘crazy cousin, locked away in the attic’ – which, for those who trespass upon it, can serve as a dime more
The first lesson we are taught about Cabra's voodoo tricks, includes a shortcut through Limbo, the waiting place between Heaven and Hell. Each trip through Limbo is tougher and tougher, but Cabra has some skills of her own to combat the guardian and ruler of Limbo named Rook. Through the next few pages, Rook uses illusions and Cabra's inner turmoil to try and defeat her. This issue doesn't have the full backstory of Cabra or her personality, but I felt like I knew the type of person she is just from the way she hold herself up; the will to stay strong in an abusive relationship, the heart to better herself by giving up crack and taking, and how she is not fazed by Rooks attempts to stop the trespassers in his realm.

There is room for improvement in both the story and the art, but from what I've read in the first issue, I have no reason to believe this won't get better going forward. For mature readers only, but if you want to get away from the mainstream for a second, hang out in limbo with Cabra Cini for a few pages. Read Full Review
