Review

Since I loved the cover so much, and this was 100% a cover read, I was worried that the story was going to S-U-C-K but thankful it was pretty good. It wasn't the best graphic novel I've read but it was so entertaining. 

I really appreciated all of the action that lasted throughout all 4 comics and the graphics were good but on the verge of great. I also like the mugshots at the end and they did make me laugh so nice move with that. There were times where I drifted between interested and uninterested territory but I absolutely loved the underlying messages thrown throughout the story; police corruption, the amount of violence against women that are constantly ignored everyday, and the get out of jail free cards that are handed out if you're privileged enough.

I'm not sure if this is marketed as a Red Riding Hood retelling but if it is, it's definitely a bad ass one. I wasn't blown away but I will be waiting for Volume 2!
