Rating: Summary: Arcane chicanery and witchy revenge! Review: Although originally published as three monthly comic books, this collection shows brilliantly the wonderful versatility of the graphic novel form. Author Robinson manages to combine just the most apt amounts of lyric eroticism and spine-jingling horror in the intriguing tale of witchery and revenge across the centuries. The art matches well, from several artists in varying degrees of baroque-ness. This is a great deal of fun and a genuine reading and perusing pleasure. A vital addition to any collection of graphic novels, if a tad on the mature side.

Rating: Summary: This book is an insult (should be a negative star rating) Review: I felt obliged to warn any browsers about this publication. I was literally outraged by this book. Perhaps its greatest crime is the synapses on the back which states that although containing .... material, the characters maintain their dignity (or some other wording, I don't feel like picking the thing up to quote from it). -- ! What an odd thing to say when nearly every "erotic" scene involves .... or unwilling submission (of women of course, or a woman reincarnated as a man). This thing was written by people who obviously did not spend any time researching what it is to be a woman, or a witch for that matter. There isn't a hint of trying to represent either of these groups accurately or with any respect. If the Triple Goddess were as vengeful as these guys make her out to be I would think that they themselves were in grave danger for the disgusting portrayal of her in this thing.This book has no redeeming qualities to make up for such intensely irresponsible writing. It appears to me that the writers really just wanted to draw a series of.... scenes and other degradations of women, but maybe they figured that that wouldn't sell well, so they had the audacity to sully a potentially beautiful religion along with womanhood. I deeply regret purchasing this thing and I hope you don't make the mistake that I did.

Rating: Summary: an epic in 3 acts Review: This book is amazing. It tells the saga of Ursula, an roman witch trough her many incarnations, just to fulfill her destiny. With the Hecatae giving support to her vendetta, this story is full of drama, action, spells. The storytelling is amazing, so is the art. I must have to any vertigo fan.
