For all the gals looking for more women serial killer rep.
Josie isn't technically a serial killer, she's a skilled hit(wo)man trying to live a double life as "loving 50s housewife" and "dangerous killer." A woman trying to have it all!
Everything about this graphic novel was so well done! The art is so crisp and cinematic. Frame by frame I can totally see this being adapted into a miniseries. And so much work went into it too, from the outfits to the backgrounds to the fight scenes, there is a load of detail to enjoy. I seriously can't get over how gorgeous this book is!
Beware of blood though. This book censors nothing! So if you're thinking you can stomach a little bit of gore but not a lot this might be one to steer clear of. However, if you have a strong stomach go for it!
The story was great too. Nothing too revolutionary but enough surprises to keep me intrigued. Overall this was seriously amazing! Never thought I'd be cheering for a Lady Killer but there you go!
