The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

This was a damn solid read and given Ron Marz track record of dealing with characters and female leads, it was a given that he'd do a good service with this. Hell, even in the dressing room, he found a good way to make the other strippers sympathetic and likable. Just because a person is a stripper doesn't mean they're bad people, which always made me shake my head about people who were against this book and a lead being a stripper.

It was also given to us in interviews that the stripping was pretty much only in the first issue due to Voodoo being "undercover" and we see that explained more in this issue, even when she quits her job and goes onto the next mission. And man, great ending. I wonder just how deep she's going to get into the government and learn their secrets.

Damn good pacing, well written characters, and gorgeous art. I'm on for next issue!

Says the guy who was a total chemically-enhanced party animal before he got married. :lol:

This was probably the best comic I read this week.

It definitely washed a lot of the bad taste of last week's DC output out.

I wonder what kind of research Marz did... :groucho:

Correct before the book came out Herald and avengingtitan pretty much said it would be the worst book this week because she's a stripper

thats weird. I can only imagine that it would be a good source of drama and intrigue. Something a little different at the very least.

Whoever the artist is, I'm sorry I don't remember the name off the top of my head but it's top-notch work. I thought the coloring stood out as well.
