By	D. Nelson (Euless, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was really disappointed. The artwork was fantastic. I love that the main character was based upon one of my favorite actresses, Rosario Dawson, but that was about the only thing I liked about it.

Overall the story was rushed. It would have been better if it the story had not been jammed into four issues. With such a limited run, there is not time to have the story flow the way it needed to. I can't imagine a cop would so readily accept the existence of an undercover police squad that deals with the supernatural. Yet within about eight panels that is just what happens.

I would be hard pressed to recommend this to anyone. With the exception of the artwork, there's not much else I can say good about it.
