I wanted to like this, but sadly didn't very much. Oh well, there's always more books!

Oh no! But very true, there are always more books!

I am a huge fan of Matt FractionSex Criminals series so I was looking forward to this one. I was not disappointed, but I am a fan of literary figures being used in alternate universe stories (e.g. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1 ) and I can totally see Tesla as being some masked vigilante. The awkward humor that is such a mainstay in Fraction's work was prevalent through the book and there were several times I got a chuckle and once a snort-laugh. I wish there were more GN similar to this. I would love to see an all female caste made up of famous heroines from the past.
