A review by geekwayne
Barbarella Vol. 1: Red Hot Gospel by Mike Carey
3.0
'Barbarella Vol. 1' by Mike Carey with art by Kenan Yarar and Jorge Fornes is a graphic novel collecting the first 4 issues of the comic book.
Barbarella is minding her own business when she is captured by the Parosians, a theocratic race. She is genetically modified and imprisoned. She meets a fellow prisoner who clues her in to what the rulers are doing and enlists her in the fight.
I have never seen the original comics or the movie, but I know a little of the character. Just not enough to know if this is a faithful version of the character, but I did like these stories, the first more than the second. And I liked the art as well. The first artist more than the second. Not too bad for Sci-fi comics.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Dynamite Entertainment, and Netgalley. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
