 Powerful female protagonist in a Mad Max style dystopian future out for revenge. Simple story that ends with a slight bit of a plot twist of sorts and nice resolution for the story. Honestly, everyone has read or seen this plot before but that's because it works a lot. 

Instead of talking more about the amazing action and great art, here are some adjectives that came to mind as I was reading this: cool, punk, bad ass, action, empowering, woman power, beautiful, awesome...

...Yeah. It was just a cool kick ass story about a kick ass woman. Definitely made me want a leather jacket.

Betrayal, revenge, post-apocalyptic, twenty-four hours to live, one women show to take down the bad guys kinda story.

Gritty artwork by Sammelin. The sequences worked well, and surprisingly all the women kept their clothing on. You mean you can fight evil while clothed? Who knew!

Not much new story-wise but the art makes me wish I could purr like a cat.

I only really liked the colour scheme.

I feel like I’ve read a graphic novel like this a million times before

The story was interesting enough and pretty short and straight-forward.  I liked the background art but wasn't a fan of the character art. I also felt that the pacing of the story was one of the let downs of this book, since a lot of background information should've been added to make the story make sense.
