I loved the artwork but the story wasn't my thing. Might try it again at a later date as my reading moods change.

Lovely art, a little gory, good storyline.
I enjoyed this as much as I did mostly because it featured a female lead, which to me is a breath of fresh air for this kind of a story.

Eu AMEI tudo nessa graphic novel: o humor afiado presente no roteiro, a arte incrível, muita ação e reviravoltas... Recomendo demais!

I loved this book. I read it off of a coworker's recommendation. (Basically she pulled my trick of "Here. You HAVE to read these! They're the best thing ever!" while pushing a pile of graphic novels in my hands.) I love the art, I love the housewife leading a double life as a covert operative story. I just love the overall aesthetic to the work.

A homemaker, housewife, and killer in the 1960's trying to balance work life and her home life. Pretty great illustrations and story that wraps it up rather nicely in one volume, I hope they continue this because it's great and they strongly hint at a volume 2! The art in this book is pretty amazing and the spoof art in the back is really fun! This book I would suggest for mature readers. ~Ashley

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Adoro as ilustrações da Joelle, e gostei da trama da dona de casa ser uma assassina de aluguel nas horas vagas.
A gente compra a ideia de que enganar todo mundo podia realmente acontecer, porque tudo acontece numa época onde mulheres não eram valorizadas e eram facilmente descartadas. Então era normal deduzir que elas não eram inteligentes o suficiente e nem tinham sangue frio pra esse trabalho.
E o traço deixa tudo bem realista, é o tipo perfeito pra esse tipo de estória. E tem muito sangue! Recomendo.

The illustrations in this comic are fabulous! My eyes were glued to the page. It was a fun story line (for great insight read the introduction, you won't regret it!) enhanced by the amazing graphics. Female assassins aren't exactly known for getting their hands dirty. Suffocation and poison are the general favorites, but this comic turns all that around. A doting housewife and mother LOVES killing and loves getting her hands dirty. She'll take any job as long as she's back in time for dinner. Her superior is becoming annoyed that she isn't available at any time (because you know, kids) so he starts to think about cutting her loose, but they may prove to be very very dangerous idea. Lots of fun! Worth a read!
