Ten minutes in the future, the world runs on an economy
of job shares and apps, while crowdfunding has evolved into Reapr: a platform
for assassination that’s trickled down from politicians, celebrities and
CEOs to everyday life and all its petty resentments. A world where anyone with
enough backers and the money they contribute can kill anyone
else.
Like Charlie Ellison, who up until now
has lead a quiet, normal life, until she wakes up to find herself the target of
a Reapr campaign with a million dollars on her head. Hunted by all of Los
Angeles, Charlie hires Vita, the lowest rated bodyguard on the Dfend app. As the
campaign picks up speed and Vita takes out incompetent civilians and
aspirational assassins on their tail, she and Charlie will have to figure out
who wants Charlie dead and why before the campaign’s 30 days or their
lives are over.
Collecting the first arc by
Eisner-nominated writer Christopher Sebela (SHANGHAI RED, WE(L)COME BACK,
HEARTTHROB), Ro Stein & Ted Brandt (CAPTAIN MARVEL: RAVEN THE PIRATE
PRINCESS), Triona Farrell (RUNAWAYS, MECH CADET YU) and Cardinal Rae (BINGO
LOVE, ROSE).
(Read as individual comics)
Because I'm trying to say when there's diversity in stories: we've got a POC MC, F/F romance.
I love Vita and will probably continue this story just for her. I did NOT like Snotgirl 2.0 or whatever her name is. She was an obnoxious character (and is supposed to be). But ugh, she's just the fucking worst.
But Vita is a BAMF and I've got such a crush!
