helenkat's review against another edition
4.0
Great drawings, great story. I enjoyed this series. I read it in the 5 installments instead of the one volume.

I picked up this book at Worldcon, kind of by chance (get it?) kind of because I'd been to CE Murphy's reading of Redeemer and I figured it could not be bad.
I got past the uh, Hawkeye pose because I give women a pass for that, generally because... Listen, it's different if WE want to have sexy women on the front page, vs if a man puts one there. Also she's pretty realistic on that cover even so.
Anyways, I'm a sucker for a female superhero, and I really loved it. Chance is an interesting take on the powerless superhero, as the others around her are superpowered - and yet she still kicks ass, because training, baby! She's got her job, her past, her problems, and she still gets shit done. She has the makings of a Lena Luthor or a Kate Kane.
In terms of the art and the story, honestly I've read pro, DC comics (Wonder Woman comes to mind) and this is on the same level, despite being an indie comic! It's also got the added advantage of being a fully self-contained story, with none of these cliffhangers that mean you HAVE to buy the next one. And I would get the next one anyways, if there was one!
In short, take a chance on this! You won't regret it!
