I first bought the #2 Shades of Blue for Mary, my 13 year old. Both of us were pretty happy with the writing and the characters in the issue (I hate to admit I bought it for her and I actually enjoyed reading it as well).

Heidi is an average high school girl with unwanted super powers (aren't all tennagers). She fights off villians around her school with her friends against teachers and arch-rival teen enemies.

Shades of Blue became much better when in the third issue with a new artist, that the artwork caught up to the writing. After issue three the art feels like MTV's Daria ... only hipper.

Well, to make a long story short, This is an excellent collection of the first five issues. I think there was over 10 issues or so total issues - I didn't get to collect them all since my local comic book store didn't carry very many copies of each issue (not for lack of trying - they said). Maybe we will be blessed with a Volume 2 or 3 to round out the story of Heidi and friends for us.

Again let me start over... Well, to make a long story short, This is an excellent collection of the first five issues. My favorite ... urr, I mean my daughter Mary's favorite issue is the 5th issue (last in this collection), but the story gets going at its best in issues 7-9.
