I was slightly disappointed by the art in the first few pages, it just didn't seem on the usual high level ... then I read in the back of the book Sean Phllips drew the book while sick with a kidney stone, and I felt bad. BUT, it was only a few pages, the rest of the book was top notch art-wise, the use of fully red backrounds in panels to represent anger and the painted one-panel dream sequences were amazing. Also, the one page (page 18) of Danica learning to control the "power of her pussy" was awesome, and is my favourite single page of artwork in all my comics this week.
The writing was as solid as it always is on this title, the dialogue felt natural & real, my only small beef with the story was that it didn't tie into the last two issues as much as I'd hoped. We didn't get the robbery from her POV like I expected, but more of a very sad origin story.
But, as a stand alone issue, it was brutal, gut-wrenching & flat out awesome.
Story: 5 - Excellent
Art: 4 - Very Good
