Velocity, Volume 1 by Ron Marz
2.0

I'm let down by Ron Marz here, usually enjoy his stuff, but this? Not so much.

This is about Velocity. A super fast woman who can kick butt. Sounds fun, right? However, people are getting infected with some type of virus, and I guess I would understand more if I read Cyberforce or whatever, but I'm not going to do that. So anyway, this girl here is ready to take on the bad guys with her charm! Big robots and super villains all try to kill her on the way.

It's not that it's horrible. Because it's not. The art isn't bad either. In fact, I believe some of the action set pieces look great. I even like her design a lot, it's pretty rad and I love red hair what can I say.

But the story really is boring. It has no life to it other than she going around out running and out smarting her bad guys but her bad guys are super super lame. Then you got this art, which can look real good, but every single pose or attack she does got her ass just shoved right up on that panel. I'm all for fan service every once in awhile but when got her tight skin suit outlining her ass, vagina, and half her boobs sticking out, it's a bit much to take at all serious.

So yeah it's okay. It's not the worst thing I read but I'll probably not remember any of it tomorrow. A 2 out of 5.
