This is the first volume in the Lady Killer graphic novel series. There were two volumes released in this series. I really enjoyed this a lot; I loved the characters, the story, and the illustration style. There is a lot of dark humor here and I enjoyed it!
Josie is a homemaker and mother of two that moonlights as an assassin. I love that she struggles with many of the normal things every mom struggles with (keeping everyone happy, balancing work with homelife, etc). Of course her work activities are quite brutal, but many of the work/life balance issues we all face are here.
Josie is an incredibly capable woman and I like the look into the 1950's and how awful equality between women and men was back then. It's a testament to how far society has come...and how far it still needs to go.
The illustration style was very well done; I loved the coloring especially. It's easy to follow and fun. Much of the illustration and story are very darkly humorous and tongue-in-cheek. Also make sure to read the intro, I found it highly entertaining as well.
Overall this was a fantastic start to this darkly humorous story about a mom and wife trying to balance her everyday activities with her rather taboo career. I plan on reading volume 2.
