Why should you read this book?

Super-heroes are often a male power fantasy, this book is a neat twist to show how women might make use of them.

Having said that, I should caution you before I recommend reading it.

When you put an artist like Darwyn Cooke on covers you’ve got anyone’s attention. Unfortunately, for the writer of Bad Girls, Cooke’s covers are so well designed that they sum up the story pretty effectively, much more effectively than the actual writer and artist of the book.

Regardless of It’s predictable storyline, it is a neat idea that you don’t see often.
