Lady Killer by Jamie Rich
5.0
Re-read review:
I have forgotten how much I love this GN! I think my original review below captures the spunky essence of Lady Killer, and Josie is seriously STUNNING! I mean she's a beautiful lady and a don't f*ck with me assassin. And her EYES! I mean...wow! *swoons*
The artwork is incredible and richly detailed with some vibrant colours which really makes the story come to life. The whole atmosphere wonderfully juxtaposes Josie's normal home life with her husband and daughters with the sheer bloody violence of her work life. It's sheer genius!
This was a re-read as my pre-ordered edition of volume 2 has been despatched and I honestly cannot wait to see what other adventures await Josie.
A very easy 5 star read.
Original review:
I bloody loved this graphic novel!
Lady Killer follows the kick-ass antics of Josie Schuller, a seemingly average 1960s housewife who balances her momsy role with gory assassinations. I quickly came to love Josie - her heart is in the right place and she dotes on her family, plus she's one feisty lady who can quickly kick nasty guys into touch.
The story was brilliant, in each chapter we learn something new about Josie and the artwork was phenomenal. I also think it helps to have a smokin' hot protagonist which we definitely have with Josie. Her eyes are gorgeous! Anyway...
The dialogue was spot on and it had me laughing several times. Overall, a fantastic graphic novel which perfectly captures the 1960s vibe.
My only complaint is that there aren't any more issues...yet. I'm hoping that will change soon!
