It’s not easy being a woman in a man’s world

Lady Killer, Volume 1 by Joëlle Jones and Jamie S. Rich

Lady Killer, Volume 2 by Joëlle Jones and Michelle Madsen

January 23, 2021 by KimMiE" 2 Comments

Someone in the CBR community recently mentioned that they are curious about how books come into our lives. I’m not typically a comic book reader (with a few exceptions), but I read this one when it came to me in the mail. More specifically, it came to my husband, a recommendation from one of his coworkers. After he read Lady Killer, he passed it on to me, thinking I might enjoy it The cover is the first thing that intrigued me: a stylish Betty Draper-esque […]

It’s not enough to be a teenager, but an alien, too?

Supergirl: Being Super by Mariko Tamaki, Joelle Jones

June 5, 2018 by J Leave a Comment

Kara is in the thick of adolescent growing pangs, unsure of her place in the world, like any first world teenager. She’s surrounded by people she loves and who love her in return, but she struggles to connect in a meaningful way. You know… because she can lift tractors with a single hand and fly and stuff. So when her powers start going a little haywire, there’s nowhere to turn for support. Is it some sort of super-puberty? Or is something else going on? Tamaki’s […]

She throws a boffo cocktail party

Lady Killer by Jamie S. Rich, Joelle Jones

January 8, 2017 by Emmalita 2 Comments

The cover of Jamie S. Rich and Joelle Jones’ Lady Killer grabbed me, and though the reviews I read were middling, I bought it. Josie Sculler is a picture perfect housewife, mom, and assassin. Her husband and children are oblivious. Her mother in law has suspicions that all is not right. How does she do it? When we first meet Josie, she’s posing as an Avon lady to get into a target’s house. She looks like a sexier Jackie Kenedy. When her plan to poison […]

Bewitched meets Kill Bill

Lady Killer by Joelle Jones

January 5, 2016 by yesknopemaybe 4 Comments

There are no words adequate to describe how much I loved this graphic novel. I’ve never given a 5 star review to a graphic novel before, so that should say something. The premise is simple, a seemingly normal housewife, Josie, in the early 60s moonlights as a contract killer. She has a suspicious mother-in-law, a doting and clueless husband, and two sweet children. Everything is going perfectly until her family time cuts into her professional time and her annoying boss turns up at her house […]
