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!

DUDE. THE AMOUNT THAT I LOVED THIS BOOK.

All of the art is spectacular, but I particularly loved how Josie was portrayed -- on the surface, she's a stereotypical 50s babe, but when you look closer, you realize she has jacked arms and incredibly powerful shoulders. Because, you know, she KILLS WITH HER HANDS FOR A LIVING, so that's how she should look. Also, she takes no shit from men (or women), and can hold her own with any opponent, male or female. Great, great, great, great.

Lady Killer is a fun gorey time of woman's empowerment in a man dominated world of assassination.  Who says women can't have it all.  And that husband is so clueless, but at least he is supportive of her independence in a time when most men would not be.  Loved it.

Female assassin with a family life - dark and gritty yet not disturbing (well.... as non-disturbing as violently stabbing someone while wearing a great dress can be....). Will definitely be looking for more work from them!

The story starts in the most perfect way; her pretending to be an Avon lady in order to murder someone.
