Ten hard-as-nails women face off in an ancient contest of champions where the winner truly takes all: the title of "Queen
of the Galaxy." To win the challenge each contestant must survive the hazards of the planet's harsh landscape, the
ferocious predators on and below its surface, and their fellow contestants. This edition of the contest has a twist: one of
the contestants is an infiltrator who has her eye on something bigger than the prize. Who is she and what does she really
want?
While this sort of thing HAS been tried before over the years, Chos approach to it is refreshingly simple. The dystopian future world in which it is set gradually bleeds in around the corners of the page. The clean lines, bright colors, and fast pace of the comic make it feel almost iconic right out of the gate in the series first issue. The test here for Cho is going to lie in keeping the remaining three challenges in four chapters of the series from being repetitious. Hes established a pretty tight format. If he veers too far from that format, it loses some of its purity. If he sticks too closely to it, it could get stale by the end of the second issue. Read Full Review
