Inga Johanning, Local Man's ex-girlfriend and current archenemy, is on the run. Her journey will bring her face-to-face with her past, her crimes, and two of the other badass ladies in the Local Man Universe-Neon peers through the pink fog to reveal her dark, violent origin; Frightside encounters Crossjack and tests the selfishness in his heart. A perfect jumping-on point for new readers and a must-have for fans who love-and especially those who hate-the long-gone days of blood-splattered breasts, big blades, and bad girls. Features an epic triptych cover series by Tim Seeley & Brian Reber.
Two women meet in a diner. Inga craves either punishment or absolution. Instead, Neon offers enlightenment. Local Man: Bad Girls #1 offers additional insights into Fleecs and Seeleys superhero universe and a jumping-on point for mature readers. Read Full Review
Neon also recalls Jack's encounter with her archenemy, Frightside, before sharing her origin. Seeley and Fleecs do a tremendous job of fleshing out Local Man's supporting cast and this was a very strong showcase for Neon. Read Full Review

Seeley and Fleecs deliver fantastic art in the issue as well. I love the character designs and the visual contrast between the superhero events and the confrontation between Neon and Inga. Read Full Review
Three interlocking stories, each with multiple perspectives, giving the women of 'Local Man' their own moments in the spotlight, with excellent art that somehow feels like this book has decades of continuity behind it. Read Full Review
Local Man: Bad Girls Special #1 continues to be the perfect marriage of '90s-era tropes and character study, this time turning the spotlight on its female cast. Not only do I hope that Local Man continues for a while because it's a great comic, but I also hope that we get more specials that continue to flesh out its world. Read Full Review
Local Man: Bad Girls #1 builds upon the Local Man universe by focusing on characters that have not gotten much time within the main series. This issue simultaneously develops those characters as well as the foundation of this series. A foundation that revisits the world of nineties comics to highlight what worked and fill in what was missing. Read Full Review
