Epic Kill #1

The story of a young ass kicking girl who has to go up against the President of the United States and all his power. Good concept. I did not like the cover swipe (on the second printing) of the bride's yellow outfit from 'Kill Bill', it even looked too much like a Frank Quitely piece. Lets talk art. Either creator Raffaele Ienco uses some kind of 'Poser' program to draw his figures or he uses action figures. All of his characters look stiff and unnatural and they have awkward hands. On page 5 panel 4 the lead character, Song , is lying in bed and her back is so stiff she looks like a 'Barbie' doll. Nobody lays down that way...maybe he used dolls for the poses. Now the writing. In the back of the book Raffaele writes a small note about this series. He admits to us that he never really wrote a story and that he just started drawing and would fill in the story as he went along...WHAT?! He goes on to say that he had not even written the last issue,#5, and issue #1 was already out...WHAT?! This book is a good idea that needed better execution. Issue #1 will be the last one for me. Can I get my $2.99 back?!
