Eve Stranger is a suspense thriller where the biggest mystery is the protagonist herself. She is some kind of secret weapon, but for whom? Whatever she is doing it sure pays well, though. The second story in the issue is excellent as well, and worth the price of admission alone. Read Full Review

Eve Stranger #1's story is a tad derivative of the action movies that I mentioned in the first paragraph, but David Barnett and Philip Bond seem to be just as concerned with their protagonist's emotion and quest for autonomy as showing her doing cool things.
