What if 9/11 was really a plot for Al-Qaeda to gain money through short-selling stocks and then someone made an action movie about it with sex robots? If you have ever asked this question, then do I have the comic for you!
Pros: interesting idea, international locales, double-crosses and sneakiness abounding!
Cons: Hard to distinguish between some of the CIA operatives (perhaps a consequence of my low-res review copy?), lots of goofy action-movie tropes, written by people who like to draw/look at boobs, i.e.:
Seriously? She takes off her coat and there they are? WHY ARE YOU NOT WEARING A BRA CHAZMA (that’s her name)? With knockers that size, you need a bra.
Here she is a frame before:
where we can see her coat’s furry collar between her head and the dude behind her. And then, next frame, coat off, and:
gravity-free boob city! Then there are like five more frames after this just so we can stare at her boobs.
(Not even mentioning that this is a surgical suite and she walks in right off the street with her clothes, no sterilization, and then promptly receives non-life-saving (i.e. there was time to properly sterilize and put on a hospital gown) surgery to her face, so why is she topless?)
How long until my blog devolves into just me posting photos from comic books with bad female anatomy? People who write comics, you do understand that there aren’t special spacial dimensions that exist solely around breast tissue, right? Right? Because I’m starting to believe that you guys don’t understand how breasts work at all.
Or maybe she has implants and they are hard as rocks with steel reinforcements to keep them up. I don’t know.

I received a copy free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
