erincataldi's review against another edition

I didn't hate this book, but I didn't love it either. For a graphic novel, it is merely so so.
The story follows a young woman, Chase, who has a condition that sucks the life out of the men that love her. She doesn't mean to but she leaves a trail of bodies in her wake. She needs love in order to survive, but the longer she stays with a man the more they age until she has sucked every last bit of life out of them. Chase goes on the run when her boyfriend of nearly a year dies (because of her love) and the authorities think that she was responsible for it (yes). The Man, a real life super hero who is more like Chase than either of them could imagine, starts to track her down, what will happen when the authorities catch up with her?
Like I said so so, but some of the graphics were really amazing. Which is probably the only reason I'm hanging onto this and not selling it back to Half Price Books where I bought it.

Darkly humorous graphic novella about a reluctant succubus originally printed as a four-part limited series. Much of the fun is provided by Marc Hempel's expressively cartooned artwork--no stiff and over-muscled comic book heroes here. A too-abrupt ending can be forgiven because of the space constraints of commercial comicdom.
