Chastity: Blood & Consequences

Der 1te Band, von der neuen Chas, war wirklich ok. Die Story hier war eher naja & Chas ist mehr 0815 geworden.Vielleicht wird der nächste Comic besser...

Chastity is not a new character to comics, but she's also not as well known as she deserves to be. Among the pantheon of tough, principled female leads that Dynamite features, she more than holds her own. This is an interesting story on a number of levels. It deals with the very real world tragedy of human trafficking and adds elements of the paranormal.Chastity is a half-vampire who combats malevolent persons. She's a good fighter on her own, but in this story arc, she's required by circumstances to transform others into effective fighters as well. Conned and abducted, she and the others find themselves imprisoned under highly unusual circumstances.The rules of vampirism do not apply equally to her and even less to those around her. Some of her immediate adversaries are human but others are of a different species altogether, werewolves. Before you conclude in advance that the vampire versus werewolf trope has been overdone in recent times, let me assure you that this story takes a few unexpected twists and turns.Let me also say that the compelling story is a page-turner. About the moment you're ready to set the book down and leave a bit to read for another time, forget it. You're attention will be focused again and you'll continue straight through to the end.No matter. In addition to the story, there is an amazing Cover Gallery, which could make up a pretty nice little volume all on its own.Altogether, this is one of the more pleasant surprises and action-packed tales I've read in some time.

Chastity, half-vampire hunter of evil, is trying out for a Burlesque show when she ends up on the wrong end of a human trafficking ring. The human traffickers don't know who they're messing with but sadly turn out to be a nastier group of customers than our antiheroine initially intends. It's a very over-the-top Saints Row-esque series of comics with more than a little bloodshed. Personally, I loved it and had a lot of fun with it. I was hoping Chastity and the CIA agent would develop a thing, though. If you like an R-rated murderous Bloodrayne-esque comic then this is your bag. Chastity is on the side of the angels, though. Sort of.
