review:

'Suffrajitsu: Mrs. Pankhurst's Amazons' takes a stab at an alternate history that seems to work. My review copy was only the very first issue, so at 24 pages, there's only the very beginnings of a story to consider.



It's 1914 in London and women are being oppressed. They can't seem to convince men to allow them to vote, so rather than shrink away, they decide to fight back. Literally. They have an elite secret society of Amazons trained in the martial arts, and they are not taking no for an answer.



It's a clever premise, but it didn't completely blow me away like I thought it might. It's possible that as the story advances it might grow on me, so I'll check back in on it.



Writing by Tony Wolf is promising, and I liked the art by Joao Vieira. I can't wait to see where this ends up going.



I received a review copy of this comic book from Amazon Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this new comic book.
