Review:

Again this series continues to surprise me because similar to the first volume many of the reviews that I had seen for the second volume were not very good. However, I really enjoyed reading this, I found these last few issues to be exciting and very interesting leaving me to wonder why this was cancelled.

In the first volume, the focus was on Voodoo but volume #2 placed the focus on not just Voodoo but also on Priscilla Kitren (the woman Voodoo was cloned after by the Daemonites). Issue 7 opened with Priscilla being broken out of the Black Razor facility by Agent Fallon and Major Bolton. She had been held there being experimented on to see what the aliens had did to her. They broke her out to see if she could help them stop Voodoo.

Although, Priscilla was still dealing with feeling like a lab rat she reluctantly agreed to help them but the three of them just were not ready to take on Voodoo. After Voodoo evaded capture leaving more casualties in her wake, Priscilla was left having to join up with her former captures, the Black Razors to stop Voodoo.

But going after Voodoo wasn't going to be an easy task especially since she was on her way out to space in an attempt to retrieve a special weapon that would be used by the Daemonites to further their fight against the humans.

This was a fast moving sci-fi adventures that was part revenge and part self discovery with issue 0 showing the origin story for both Priscilla and Voodoo and how this series got started.

The writing for this was very good and I love the artwork by Sami Basri and the cover art by Paulo Siqueria. I love how vibrant the color is, the colorist did a fantastic job.
