Attracted to this by the lovely, painted art of Rebecca Guay (whose art in the books of White Wolf's Changeling won me too her), 'Veils' turned out to be quite a piece of work -- I don't think it's the future of comics by any shot, and I found the photo/computer rendered art awkward and often flat and lifeless in comparison to Guay's gorgeous styling...
But to say the least, the story was sound if somewhat predictable, and heavy with Empowered And Transformed woman, but it wasn't bad-- but it was definitely short a five star rating. (More like 3 1/2, but...) Still, give it a shot, it is quite pretty in places at the very least.

This is a sexy comic, and an excellent example of fumetti, the process of creating a comic using real photography. The story also is surprisingly interesting; a decidedly feminist bent comes through the tale of a Victorian British housewife who travels with her husband to visit a sultan and becomes fascinated by his harem. She befriends a younger woman in the harem and listens to stories the women there tell her, and after seeing (and briefly experiencing) their way of life she starts to question her world views and assumptions about men, women, marriage, and sex. Though the story is short and not particularly detailed or digressive it does raise some interesting questions. I thought the ending was a little contrived and contradictory, but I still like this book on the whole, if only because it's still kind of hot.

It sounded interesting, and it kinda sorta was, in that now I know what the structure of a harem is, should I ever need to know this. The bigger and better thing, though, is that I now know what the font for my second tattoo will be. Yay!

Interesting choices in pictorial style. Very pretty. A bit of an odd story, with a twist that surprised me.
