The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of LADY KILLER #1 from Dark Horse Comics. Joëlle Jones and Jamie S. Rich write, Jones
draws and Laura Allred colors.
Josie has a great life. She’s got a loving husband, great
kids, and a nice house in the suburbs. She’s also does a little work on the
side – as a contract killer. But now she’s going undercover in a most unsavory
place in order to fulfill her next contract. And this job is going to rattle
her 1960s sensibilities to her core.
The combination of humor and violence can be tricky, but
this book pulls it off wonderfully. Josie is very good at her job, and her
family is a great source of laughs. I suspect the next issue will be loaded
with comedy too. Anyway, there are several story elements working together
here, and it’s a lot of fun. The art captures the style of the early 1960s, and
not just in the clothing; the whole thing just really feels at home in that
era.
Is she a housewife, or is she an assassin? Or can she be
both? We’re going on a heck of an adventure to find out, and maybe we’ll learn
even more about Josie. Pick it up today.
LADY KILLER #1 is available now at your FLCS or at darkhorse.com.
