This was a wonderful introduction!

Abbott is already a solid character. I feel like I have a pretty good handle on her personality and way of thinking. She's tenacious and headstrong, even when faced with several white men telling her to stay quiet and keep her head down. Her past is still being fleshed out but we got enough to nibble on here and I want more!

I like her boss, Charlie, quite a bit. Can't wait to see more of them interacting in the future. The supernatural element took me by surprise a bit, even having read a little about this series online. Black women don't often get to see ourselves in supernatural stories and even then, we're usually not the main characters. I'm very interested to see where this series goes next! I love the setting, the tone and the art.

5 stars.

Definitely a recommend.

This is good for what it is, but what it is is not for me. Would have just liked a pure, hard boiled detective comic.
