Amazon.com Reviews Corrective Measures

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

I just got finished with Corrective Measures. First, This is not a completed narrative, it however is a brilliant beginning to what could be an outstanding series. Not going into to much detail, you take a simple enough story line of supervillians and what happens to them when they are locked up, and you create a world that you dont want to leave.

100 Girls @ Girls Read Comics

Saturday, August 9th, 2008

It is a truth universally acknowledged that when your particular brand of mad science involves cloning 100 girls with different superpowers and conditioning them to be weapons, you more or less deserve what happens when they wake up, find out, and get really, really angry.

The teenagers-constructed-to-be-weapons idea isn’t itself original, but 100 Girls has some interesting twists, which I don’t intend to spoil overmuch. In this first installment of what I hope will expand on the promise it shows, Sylvia Mark discovers her amazing acrobatic powers during a fight with a bully. Running away from her adopted parents, she’s accosted by some men in black, and takes them down with breathtaking ease.
