This seems to be a title that is either LOVED or HATED. I was kind of eager to see where I would fit in. I liked Mockingbird a lot from Chelsea Cain, so I was pretty excited to try this.

It starts off with learning that girls, once they get their period, can transform into huge cats that tear you apart. The series isn't taking itself too serious, but at the same time, is tackling big subject matters. See, the government decides to put in these chemicals into girls drinks to prevent them from getting their period so that they transform into these huge cats. A lot of the first volume focuses on setting up the world and the rules of it. However, we do get somewhat of a main protagonist in Maude who is getting her first period. When she gets it she keeps it hidden from her father, who is a detective trying to uncover the latest killing of a Man-eater.

Good: I enjoyed the style it was going for. Very colorful and fun, except it can turn horror quick, and when doing so it makes the contrast work in its favor. I also enjoyed Maude as the main cast, and even wanted more of her, since she was a tough teen with a badass to her. Also, the rules and search are interesting, and this universe is weird but I strangely wanted more.

Bad: The last issue is just filled with a shit ton of advertisements. Sure, some are pretty funny and we get the idea behind it. It's showing how these women are controlled and such. However, it felt like a huge filler issue to end the very short graphic novel on (only 4 issues). Also, some of the dialogue could be TOO on the nose, defeating the purpose of its message.

Overall...I'm in the middle. I like the idea, themes, and character. But it's filler issue and trying too hard at points hurts it for me. Still, if there's another volume, I'll check it out! A 3 out of 5.
