So the concept behind this book is cool. It's set in a futuristic time in which humans are trying to overcome their aging bodies by replacing bits with synthetic parts. Enter Aphrodite, a young woman who is made entirely synthetic and seems not to age. She is also super badass. And an assassin. Every time she kills she loses her memories though.
This book is a lot of fun. Some of the concepts might not be original, but what is done with them here is enjoyable enough that it doesn't matter. For the most part I liked the art, but the character design for Aphrodite seems very voyeuristic. It seems to be representative of how women in comics were being drawn at the time. That stinks because the character is cool and the art could turn off potential readers.
