4.0

Whoa talk about a upgrade. While I thought volume 1 was good it lacked solid plotting and artworked was a bit eh. Here? Well damn.

A guy is going around hurting people who have been hurt. So say you were raped, he decides to punish you more, to see if you can truly survive. It's some weird shit but it makes for a compelling villain. Violet sets herself up in a trap to lure him out. On top of that the 2nd half we get some of her past and actually a very creepy villain once again.

Good: I love the first arc. It's pure bait and fight issue. It shows the steps violet will take to take down the villains of Gotham. She just goes by it a different way than our batman. The villain is interesting, the story is, and the dialogue is pretty strong. I also thought the 2nd arc was interesting, getting violet's past is good, and by the end was interested to see where this will go.

Bad: The art on the 2nd half is kind of eh...sometimes decent, sometimes not so good. Hard to tell what the fuck is happening at points or who is who.

A huge step up from volume 1. While 1 was decent, this is great. I want more. 4 out of 5.
