Crosswind Volume 1
by Gail Simone
So take Freaky Friday, killers, foul mouth little kids, and some crazy shoot outs and you have Crosswinds.
This is the story of two characters, one is a killer assassin, the other is a housewife, and they switch bodies. You can only guess how out of place them seem once they do that. However, they begin to fit in to their roles the best they can. As the story ramps up, more and more people die, and it becomes a crazy roller-coaster of action and adventure.
Good: I actually loved 90% of the stuff with the mom's side of things. Her raising her step-son, dealing with her soon-to-be ex-husband, kids being assholes around her and more. All of that was great. I also thought the first half was fast paced and a ton of fun. The dialog also is very funny at times.
Bad: I didn't love the assassin's storyline (sorry name is slipping) I just thought it was okay and kind of cliche. I also didn't love the ending, it didn't feel well put together. I know there's supposed to be more, so maybe it'll work better once more comes out, but as it stands I wasn't super impressed. Also the art didn't really do it for me.
Overall this was a fun little book. It didn't blow my mind, and I think Gail has written better, but as it stands if want something that's often funny and charming this is one to check out! A 3 out of 5.
