Red Thorn

Writer: David Baillie
Artist: Meghan Hetrick
Publisher: Vertigo/DC Comics

With '90s favorite publisher Vertigo making a healthy resurgence, recent release Red Thorn offers lusty paranormal adventures at their best. Isla, our main character, is fearless with her drive (and her desires,) and David Baillie’s story is unafraid to let his leading lady’s hookups drive the plot as much as her magic powers. It’s downright refreshing to be taken along for the ride by a girl who isn’t afraid to love the ride. (Giggity.) Meghan Hetrick’s art is perfect, letting moments that might otherwise be innocent reveals absolutely ooze sexuality. It’s only one issue in so far, but a second date is necessary.
