100 Girls

I liked 100 Girls a lot for a violent comic book with no redeeming factors or socially responsible aspects. I liked Vancouver's Todd Demong's art; it has beautiful deep tones, full of angst and emotion, although apparently there are other 'colourists.' I liked the plot line, told by Adam Gallardo as it is well developed, exciting and edgy.

You see this seemingly typical teen girl starts to discover that she has secret strengths and powers! She doesn't know what to do! Bad guys are after her! Where will she turn? Yeah, I wondered too till she finds some other girls just like her who were part of a secret (of course) experiment that the government (of course) doesn't know about. You may have guessed that there are 100 of them. Boy, do they lay waste to some guys who really deserve it? Yes, they do!

It is fairly derivitive though. I remember a TV show called 'Dark Angel' with Jessica Alba, from which I think Gallardo has 'used' as 'inspiration.'

Needless to say, 100 Girls will take about 100 seconds to read.
