I kinda wish they hadn't made John a woman.
Sure, the idea sounds interesting, and usually it's fun to see gender-bent familiar characters. But they didn't make John a woman, they made the character John with boobs. Which is not the same thing.
And she doesn't smoke, which is just weird.
But it was a fun romp with pirates and battles and demons in a box that looks strikingly like the box from Hellraiser, but bigger. Nothing really mind blowing here, but a fun read none the less.

A quick fun read that definitely peaked my interest. A good balance was struck between hinting to things that might be to come and being its own contained story. I really enjoyed Johanna's character smart, skilled, cold and self-serving. But no bitch and certainly not evil. We need more anti-heroines!
I really liked the art as well. Nice level of detail and no obvious pandering to the male audience. The pages and frames were laid out very well.
Overall, not the most original story, but I've been reading a lot of offensive excrement of late so 4 stars. It's a well packaged piece, just not earth-shattering - besides its fair treatment of women of course. Which is apparently an insurmountable obstacle haha.
