Description
Teenager Mitzi hits Heropa with 9mm pistols blazing – targeted for recruitment, betrayal and assassination.
Teenage gunsel-cum-aspiring-hero Mitzi (last name unknown) breezes into Heropa with twin 9 mm pistols blazing – only to be targeted for recruitment, betrayal and assassination. French femmes fatale, an out-of-touch super-powered elite, and one hell of an underlying mystery figure heavily in this fusion neo-noir, science-fiction dystopia. Interweaving the scrappy one-liners is a story much more than the sum of its parts, concerning questions about grand creative process.
Advance Praise
"Surviving on nothing but her wits, pistols, and razor-sharp dialogue.” Bleeding Cool
“Unique, unconventional and brilliant, having successfully turned the femme fatale trope around and created a kick-ass female character.” Starburst Magazine
“Bullet Gal is pretty bloody riveting, on par with Warren Ellis and Grant Morrison.” Merz Dada
"The female Jason Bourne." ComicBuzz
"Incredibly enjoyable, full of humour and meta references I don’t usually associate with the noir genre." We The Nerdy
