I started reading the first trade when I saw it in a bookstore, based on remembering this and I now can’t wait to keep going.

Unfortunately monetary issues meant I couldn’t pick up regular comic books anymore.

But I think I’m going to go collect the trades now. Thanks for reminding me that this awesome story was out there.

No-one is safe :)

I think Rucka is a superb writer of women. He even managed to write a run of a character who has sometimes slipped easily into violence-porn barbie for boys – “Elektra”, and make her a detailed and deserving main character with no sexism (it’s actually one of my favourite graphic novels: “Everything old is new again”). Interestingly, Elektra’s sensei (and the strongest, most capable person) in that run is also female.
