A typical feminist fare that tries its best to justify a deep-seated hatred of men.

The story is the standard feminism tale about a poor woman who's put through a terrible ordeal, only to go back and exact revenge on all men, even if they had nothing to do with what happened to her.

The message is loud and clear: men are bad. Surely not all men, you think? But, alas, the book continuously repeats that "All men deserve to die".

I have to admit I approached this comic rather cautiously. I truly enjoy Hitman games but it is rather difficult to make comic about a professional hitman who during all of the games maybe uttered full 4 pages of text.

We follow them as they fight their inner daemons and tragedies and finally emerge as a cold-blooded assassin (47) and highly manipulative controller (Diana). They are both people that suffered a lot at hands of others and finally found freedom of sorts.

Art is good, sometimes proportions seem to be slightly off but in general art is very clear with both wide-shots and action scenes.
