While reading Aphrodite IX, I continuously made an "ehhhhhhhhh" noise. While the art is eye-catching and colorful, the level of detailing is inconsistent. In some places, you can count every scale and feather and fleck of light; in others, there's an almost bizarre generic-ness.

It was the story that docked down my rating count though. The comic began with a frickton of backstory, which would make the world of APHRODITE IX an awesome D&D game, but it's not a very good comic book series beginning. While Aphrodite IX the character may be a super awesome badass, she's literally a tool with a male "handler" pushing some mental buttons to make her do things. The art was also overly objectifying, with a ridiculous amount of bendy butt-and-boobs poses for the women and standard staring-into-the-distance-while-pontificating for the dudebros.

Eh. I'll read more if I bump into the series again, but I'm not going to make a point to find the next issue.
