Danger Girl began, as I recollect, about the same time as Michael Turner came on the scene with Witchblade and Fathom. It was a contrast to a lot of the darker stuff exploding on the scene around that time — really dark — and was mindless fun. Probably the best way I can come up with to describe it is this: if Charlie’s Angels went skimpier, a tiny bit racier, had more action and acquired a bit of attitude, and became spies rather than private detectives in an over-the-top James Bond type story played tongue-in-cheek at times, and oh yeah, became a comic book rather than a television show, it would be Danger Girl. In other words — it’s pretty fun. I remembered reading the first series, so look forward to going through them again and seeing how they hold up. If issue #0 is any indication, it’s going to hold up just fine.

#0 is basically the brief prolog to issue #1, a teaser that gives you a taste for what’s to come. If you like it, you’ll love the rest. If you don’t, well, you haven’t wasted a lot of time because it’s Free on Kindle Unlimited. Abbey Chase, Sydney Savage, Silicon Valerie, Deuce, Jonny Barracuda, Sonya Savage and Secret Agent Zero are names that give you an idea of the content of the world created by J. Scott Campbell and Andy Hartnell. Deep character development and serious emotional angst? Forget about it. Great artwork and mindlessly fun story-lines? Check.

I’ll be going through the first story-line again as time permits, but suffice it to say after reading #0, it promises to be as fun as I remember it being 25 years ago. Getting too much into the unfolding plot about the evil Hammer group trying to…well, it’s like outlining the plot to a Charlie’s Angels episode. Does it really matter? That’s not what you come to Danger Girl for anyway. When between the bullets and the chases, an Alligator takes a patch out of the back of Abbey’s jeans as she’s racing across the swamp to escape mortal danger, and there’s some fun quips along the way, now that’s why you come to Danger Girl.

You’re not supposed to take it seriously, so don’t think too hard about it. Just enjoy the fun. ( )

Fun, exciting, intriguing. and some James Bond winks. ( )
