magnetgrrl's review against another edition
2.0
At this point in the series... I sort of gave up hope. There haven't been any more volumes after this one, though, nor have I seen a new issue in ages so I'm not sure there ever will be.

Whoa a lot more graphic sex in this one. Which is okay and even amusing when the other characters call her on it, but just a lot more than the other two books.
I am finally starting to get a small grasp of the various political factions but it's still very confusing to me. The "Artesia as unstoppable superhero" was toned down a lot which helped. I just wish it had started with a smaller story, say perhaps her first campaign as Bran's captain, so I could get a stronger hold on the world and her background. That would give me a greater context for the later socio-political issues that come up due to her being a "highlands witch".
I like how detailed the world is and the art is very good, I just wish it was an actual novel. I think I'd get a lot more into it if more was spelled out for me and not having to be compressed into tiny speech bubbles and thought squares.
It is really nice to have all the strong female characters though. Ones with a range of personalities unlike the usual stereotypes.
