Synopsis:

Two young women, Vega and Mina, living 100 years apart share the same strange abilities. They hold the genetic key to saving the world from all known viruses and diseases, but they've been captured and taken advantage of by people more interested by power and money than anything else. In 1909, Vega is trapped. Forced to be a warrior when all she wants is love. In the present, Mina has escaped. Helped by Tamara, a former astronaut and her scientist friend Marques, she has a chance to use her amazing abilities and spread her wings to learn the truth about her origins.

I didn’t really get into Fabrice Sapolsky and Dawn J. Starr’s Lady-Bird. I don’t know the original story that it is partly based on, partly a homage too, which doesn’t help (though I don’t think it’s a commonly known one either), and I didn’t really like the art very much.

The story jerks around a bit, and it just… isn’t very clear how things come together, or what people’s motivations are. It doesn’t help that it does appear to be a volume one, rather than a full story, which… wasn’t clear from the cover/listing on Comics Plus. It doesn’t get very far, which isn’t so surprising in light of that, but is pretty unsatisfying.

Not one for me, overall. It did make me kinda curious about the original it’s based on/referencing, though.

Rating: 1/5 (“didn’t like it”)
