Danger Girl: Body Shots
Grade 7-9–The Danger Girls are three super-sexy super-spies whose latest mission is to track down the Master Key that controls nuclear missiles around the world. But does the Master Key actually exist? This is a typical superhero comic, filled with action, snappy banter, and big guns. The illustrations are drawn with fluid, confident lines, and inventive paneling gives a dynamic, cinematic look to the action scenes. In one of the best, a Danger Girl flings herself and a hostage through an office window and parachutes her way down. She, like her fellow spies, executes all of her heroic deeds in skimpy clothing, with vampy, sultry poses. This fast-paced story should circulate, though its intended audience is more likely adolescent boys than future Danger Girls.–Lisa Goldstein, Brooklyn Public Library, NYCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
