Ok. You pretty much have a general idea of what you're getting yourself into by the title. The story revolves around a dominatrix who comes across these pills that give her superhuman powers. And She then becomes a sort of dominatrix by day, hero by night. This is definately for adults. I was expecting a pretty lame read but was quiet surprised on how well written the dialog was and the artwork works very well with the story. There are some scene's where you see cleavage so don't go buying this for the little ones.

Gene Simmons is more than just a tongue and a pretty face for the legendary rock group Kiss. He's also a gifted creator of a fiction/fantasy genre as evidenced by his coming up with the idea of Dominique Stern, a young woman with no family, few friends, a past, and makes a profitable (albeit unusual) career in the sex industry as a professional dominatrix. A woman who inflicts pain and humiliation on her clients at their request -- and expense! It's while servicing a client that Dominique finds herself having to become a superhero and dealing with government arrogance, a diabolical cabal, and dangers to herself, her friends, and her country! Engagingly written by Sean Taylor, superbly illustrated by the team of Flavio Hoffe and Esteve Polls, colored by Debora Carita, and with a superb staff of cover artists, letterers, and editors, "Dominatrix: You Want Me" first appeared as a mini-series of individual comics from IDW Publishing that has now been collected together into a magnificent graphic novel format that is highly recommended for mature readers.
