bookworm47 's review for:

Black Orchid by Neil Gaiman
4.0
adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

A word of warning: this was too graphic for my tastes, but it covers important topics and I can see why the authors included violence to make a point about the genre.

It was heartbreaking to see the main characters suffer violence and domestic abuse, but the (real-feeling) representation of these topics in a DC comic spreads awareness and shows a woman claiming her power and voice for the world to see.

If you have a stronger stomach than I do, I would highly recommend that you read this series if interested in crimes during the 80s and solving ecological problems (helping to replenish natural resources).
