This was so fun! I don't know what everyone's problem is, honestly. It's like The Professional meets The Heat starring queer women in a futuristic mess we're 10 minutes away from.

I sped through the whole volume in one night. I couldn't stop reading it. I kept laughing and reacting out loud, much to the annoyance and chagrin of my daughter.

It's unique, doesn't take itself too seriously, and it's not pretentious on the nose satire.

Charlie is annoying. But she's not all bad. She's going through a lot. She's how a manic pixie dream girl would BE as a person, not just a propped up trope. She's the definition of a hot mess having fun until someone crashes her party trying to kill her....

I LOVE that scene in the strip club bathroom. And Dog in the purse *crying laughing*

I'm dying to find out what started Charlie's reaper campaign, what's with the super assassin, and what are they going to do next. Is there hope for Charlie and Vita? What about Vita and her cop ex?

Also, I desperately want a Bi-Furious t-shirt and the courage to wear it out.

This graphic was a lot of set up and mystery and murder. The library being ran like a hotel by gun toting librarians was bittersweet. At least the librarians were bad ass. I hope volume 2 will give some answers.

This one was a lot of story packed in, but it seems like it could have been streamlined some. The premise behind the story (main characters are on the run from a crowd-funded assassination — these have become government sanctioned/entertainment/big business because the government has no way of fighting it) is interesting, but something didn’t quite work for me. It was an interesting read, but I’m not sure I’ll seek out the next one.
