Our protagonist, Joanna Tan aka Gun Honey, is a specialist in the way that she is capable of infiltrating any area and conceal the gun so it can be used by the person hiring her to execute their own mission.
I have to admit, very interesting concept, something I came across only in one novel where specialist (again woman) helps an interested party to infiltrate a prison to reach his target.
Considering this is pulp fiction, it delivered exactly what I was expecting - story worthy of good old action movies. You have everything here, origin story and tragedy, years spent working with guns and infiltrating highly secured areas and of course nefarious crime syndicates and government organizations trying to use Joanna for their own purposes.
Joanna is one busty lady, maybe little bit too busty :), I mean, I thunk that her proportions would be somewhat an obstacle for her line of business when it comes to execution of operations but OK, again this is pulp fiction and Joanna is 100 percent femme fatale, for females and for males :)
Again, comic sticks to its roots and does not try to be what is not. Accent is on the story, action, and whole bunch of twists and turns taking place that will keep the reader interested to the very end.
I am little bit mixed on art side - it is not bad but sometimes perspective and panels seem a little bit disorganized. Art style reminds me of old 70's action comics popular in Europe (Johhny Nero, Barracuda, Steel Claw etc) and I think it would be much, much better in black and white mode than colorized. But again this is my opinion, I generally prefer black and white comics than those in color.
Very interesting story and interesting new heroine to follow.
Recommended to all fans of good old action adventure stories. ( )
