Fun premise but I was bored by all the housewife stuff. There were so many characters that I lost track of who was who and how they all related to each other.

I wanted to love this, and the first half of issue one ruled, but it was clunky and didn't make nearly enough sense for me to stay engaged in the story.

Rip Vertigo. If another volume ever comes out, I'll probably pick it up to see if it improves.

Really sad I didn’t like this one as I love the art but the story in this just falls incredibly flat. The characters have no depth, the action and gore is forced and uneven, the pacing makes little sense, and overall the concept is interesting but didn’t go anywhere.

A fun witchy ride, and quite a fun take on female empowerment!

I liked the art, but the story was almost boring in its simplicity.

Initially gave it 2 stars, but after thinking about it, 1 is enough. It is rare that I give 1 star, but I concluded that this deserves it. The characters we are supposed to root for are bad people. Genuinely evil, mass murderers people. And you're supposed to root for them and against those trying to stop them because "patriarchi".

Someone really needs to work on their understanding of satire and irony. A half-baked idea that was hoping to have longer to fully cook, so that the entire thing feels lacking.
