While the first Bomb Queen book had a funny idea (a supervillainess takes over the city and rules in amusing ways) by the second volume the joke has gotten old and tired.

If you really liked Bomb Queen wait for the omnibus volume coming out and get that. No real need to pick up this volume.

I loved this comic the moment I opened it. There is so much detail in the backgrounds - it's fun to spend time on each page looking for subtle humor instead of blowing through the whole thing in 15 mins.

The art in this series is so clean and well done. The character, Bomb Queen, is such a bad @$$ and she does whatever she wants and she makes me actually laugh out loud. Jimmie Robinson really captured my...heart? (not the right body part for this kind of thing) with this comic because the writing is top notch, its funny as hell and really sexy too.

I like that the comic doesn't take it seriously at all - the characters might say every now and then that so in so is in the wrong comic if you think... etc etc - its really a blast. Reading the whole series was a real treat.

Give this series a chance before you discount it as another cheap T&A thrill. Its more than just T&A (Bomb Queen IS hot though!).

Don't take the comic seriously, otherwise you'll completely miss the point. People who are offended by images/jokes of rape, murder, etc. will have let the whole thing just whiz right over their head - so just enjoy it - it's by far my favorite comic of all time.

It is something of a sick fascination that sometimes draws me back to train-wreck sites to see if things have gotten better a second time around. "Bomb Queen: Woman of Mass Destruction," by Jimmie Robinson, took some interesting concepts about a city run by a supervillain and ran them into the ground with gratuitous nudity and a great number of distasteful "jokes" about rape, incest and pedophilia.

And yet, I returned for a second look when "Dirty Bomb" hit the stands -- and found that Jimmie hasn't really learned from his mistakes.

I know there's a market out there for nude comics, primarily among the adolescent set, but Jimmie needs to work on his storytelling if he wants to hook a more mature reading audience. Of course, as long as preteens have plenty of cash to spend, quality will probably remain a non-issue.
