silkcuts's Voodoo #1 - Keeping Secrets review

Voodoo Magick is back on paper

Voodoo is back and finally she gets an ongoing series.  The last time she had the spotlight was an Alan Moore mini-series, where Moore explored his concepts of Magick and comics.  Meaning his ability to change a readers will.  That same Metatextual concept can always apply to writer who writes Voodoo, Ms. Priscilla Kitaen so seductively. 
 
The comics takes place in a strip-joint and it is a place we all know, even if we haven't been to one.  It is a place of magick, and the performer is Voodoo priestess enchanting the audience. Ron Marz and Sami Basri capture that Voodoo magick to a tee, and while they are distracting us with Tits and Ass, they were weaving an interesting plot to boot.
 
This comic is a great introduction to the character and it is very accessible.  There is little if anything negative I can say.  I would recommend this to anyone who wants a good story dealing with a character struggling with an inner monster.
 
Cheers

I loved her design and how her later incarnations became less and less superhero and mor...

The Good: The art's really nice, especially for the setting. The coloring especially has a good smoothness to it, and the effects of the multicolored lights are well illustrated as well. The entire issue is very well paced. It's presented as a mystery, with a few key players, and you're not sure yet which one you're supposed to be following. There's that girl who's on all the issue covers, but we know nothing about her, she's stirpping on stage, the top girl in the club. There's a man and woman ...
