Written and drawn by Steve Mannion, Dawn appeared in a mini-series that followed her adventures, fighting against assorted monsters and Nazis (yes, Nazis) while trying to keep her clothes on. It was a manic, sexy series.
Mannion's style is a real delight - sort of a modern-day version of the old underground comics, with lots of beautiful, pin-up, sexualized depictions of women, gnarled monsters and extreme action sequences.
Needless to say, this isn't a comic for children - there's harsh language (though the worst of it is censored) and violence - but even the invasion of the bad guys is done in a lighthearted, entertaining fashion.
This isn't a comic for everyone - it's rude and hot all at the same time - but if you're looking for some straightforward fun, and a comic that's just loaded with energy and enthusiasm, you could do a lot worse.
But if you're easily offended, look elsewhere.
Grade: B
