pickAnd here's another Humble Bundle purchase I shouldn't have ignored for years. Velvet is a 43-year-old superspy who's been out of the game for a while but gets pulled back in when her agencymate is compromised and killed. It's full of intense, 1970s spy action, and I LOVE that the protagonist isn't 26. More like this, please.
This put me over 25 hours for #25InFive, too. Hurray! #comics
pickNever underestimate the "secretary." When ex-agent (current assistant to the head) Velvet begins to take a closer look into the untimely and unusual death of the agency's best operative, she finds herself framed for his murder. Now she's coming out of retirement to kick-ass and take names and find out what the hell is going on. I loved it. Art was great. Story was smooth. Loved Velvet, a 40-something, sultry badass.
pickOne of several comics I've been trying out recently. Lady James Bond -- recommended to beau's daughter. #ladypower #asskicker
pickAmazing read. Like a 007 movie with a kick-ass woman in the title role and without all the boring parts! Will be ordering Vols. 2 and 3 from the library. And re-reading this tomorrow!
pickI like the spy-thriller aspect of this, and I really like that Velvet is an older woman who still kicks ass (I mean, she's not elderly, but how often do we see a woman out of her 20s who is able to take out half a dozen men?)
