Ooooh!  Bondage cover!

Sadly, this is not a story about how Misty and Colleen run a dominatrix business.

Instead, they’re working for the government, fighting bad guys.

A group of truly D-list villains (other than Whirlwind–I think he’s probably a B-lister)–steal a computer virus from a rich mobster named Ricadonna.  In response, she hires Razorfist to kill them.

Colleen is unable to prevent his execution of Freezer Burn (in his first and final appearance), but the duo are able to save his baby.  Why are they helping villains?  To try to recover the stolen virus, of course.

Ricadonna, it turns out, it an enhanced being with mad skills who kills a whole crew all by herself before turning on Misty and stealing her arm.

Fortunately for Misty, she was bodyguarding Humbug, who overwhelms Ricadonna with insects.

Tony Stark gives Misty a new, better arm. 

Ricadonna, meanwhile, runs an underground auction where she offers Misty’s old arm for sale.  With the help of Iron Fist, they crash the auction and retrieve the virus–and Misty’s old arm.

There are a ton of cameos, many of which are random, dumb, and crow-barred in.  But they’re also fun.  Because, who doesn’t want to see Walrus again? I love this page:

The layout, having insects around the edges of the characters, and an appearance where Merc with a Mouth is totally silent. Funny dialogue. And who is the big lady in the pink nightie who Walrus calls “Cherry”? Is that Big Bertha? I’m saying yes. Many things to like here.

In short, this is a fun book–not a serious one.

The story also introduces Otis Johnson the Second, who participates in an AIM raid and gets the power of indestructibility.  He’s Misty and Colleen’s executive assistant, and he gets to have a little side story with Orka.

What I like here: The covers are reminiscent of classic ’70s Power Man and Iron Fist stories. 

What’s also good: A male secretary to a team of two women and he’s got powers but they do not.  The art is absolutely wonderful and the script is good.

What wasn’t so good: The plot is silly and doesn’t really work well.

What’s next? More!
