This oversized book is as much an homage to underground comics as it is a tightly reverent meditation on history. Creator Lauren Weinstein presents us with a wacky female war deity who loves to drink, shirk responsibilities, lives in a surreal sort of Bat-cave, and loves to time travel in order to screw great warriors throughout the ages. Yes, it has a lot of silly to it, but Weinstein also incorporates true historical events - specifically the betrayal of Native Americans during the 19th century. Granted, it's an odd mix, but the result is a sexy psychedelic romp with an ultimately serious tone. Her multi-layered imagery falls into place quite well with her interesting sense of panel design. Can't wait for #2!
