This type of story could potentially been seen as a sexploitation book, with women beingused as victims in both current and past exploits of the character in the book. The result ofSloane's actions may cause friction from the protectiveness of Detective Daniels which allows the reader to see how some men see women; the fact that women always need protecting. However, Sloane is a capable character, whilst not ignoring her past, she has allowed it to shape her and given her strength to complete her chosen task. Crime noir books seem to be becoming more and more popular, from a variety of publishers. As such, Bitely and Ruiz may find the genre harder to crack than Sloane cracks heads. Read Full Review
Overall it's a good comic, but there are areas that could use some improvement. I also think that the comic struggles with its identity at times. Is it a crime drama? Is it a revenge story? It seems like it's a little of both, but not enough to show the commitment to one formula or the other. Still, I'm kinda interested to see where the story goes and how bad everything can get when Naomi becomes a full-fledge pimp. It has potential, but hopefully it'll get a bit more polish on future issues. Read Full Review
