This one is pretty sick and twisted, people lose their hands, their heads, get shot in the face, and get cut in half with a samurai sword. Very little of this is going to be explainable as death by natural causes. But when you are dressed in leather, carry around a ton of Ninja gear, and can pretty much so kill anyone or anything at any time, who is going to argue with you? Or try to skip out of paying the fees that go along with death by unnatural causes. Blood and gore to the max, but with a sense of humor that bleeds through the pages when you are reading it making it somewhat sick, twisted, and enjoyable. There is a certain level of insanity on this one, that makes it totally awesome to read and well in some cases, work out ways of dealing with an unnatural death as you are cleaved in half in a Mexican hotel room with a kid who gets shot in the face, and two dead Mexican Federalies, right before the fire burns the hotel to the ground to cover up the mess. Admitted, a fire is probably one way of cleaning up the mess that does not take as much time as trying to scrub the walls, floors, ceilings, and wash the laundry.
Starting off there, we learn more of the walking icon of death Varla, and some connections in the past with people that probably should have remained buried in the past. We also get some good back story with how the Ninjettes started off, what to expect, and what other things are going to go along with this series is what is going to make this totally awesome. This is one of those comic books you read to enjoy, especially if you like a lot of ultra-violence, and girls in fetish wear.
I am going to rate this one five of five stars because of its violence, brutality, senseless use of arson, branding, chicks that are not what you would want to meet or engage with, anatomically exaggerated drawings, and the rest of the gamut with this one. Dead kids, dead people, dead cops, in all you really should remember to pay your bills, and always pay the fees of the Ninjettes if you happen to hire them. This is a comic book worth finding, reading and keeping.
