What are your thoughts on the character and Bomb Queen series. 
 
The first time i read a strip i wasn't that impressed.. i could see a one-shot kinda whacked out upside down sort of charm to it and the crudity of the material was very one off..  
 
Wasn't sure it could sustain a series but it has developed and got a world to inhabit and characters that have room to grow as well as some crossovers with Spawn and Hack/slash that have worked alright.

The idea and concept (that of a series centred around a supervillain running a city) is, I think, far better in theory than how its been done in reality. 
The peekabo nudity (oh look a nipple... how rude, what will the country club say), the writing, the crudity of it all. It reminds me of Mark Millar's Wanted or Nemesis, where just because the primary character is a bad-ass villain nastiness, cruelty, profanity and violence take the place of decent story structure. I mean, why have good dialogue when you can have a bunch of people dying in droves whilst a character says something snarky or a particularly well drawn arse-crack or boob can fill a frame. 
Makes me sound like a prude, doesn't it? I tend to like concepts a lot more than the real thing. Nemesis and Wanted sounded a damn sight better than they turned out to be in my opinion. And Bomb Queen is no different. You mentioned hack and slash... that's something that's never interested me.  The primary character (cassie is it) looks like she would annoy me. I like boobs and bums and whatnot as much as the next lonely socially inept border-line psychotic chap, but comics that flash too much flesh just for the sake it make me feel like a perv.

I think it's friggin awesome.

I liked the series, and hope they continue. The cynicism and tone is actually enjoyable to me. It really pushes some boundaries that I think don't get pushed enough.

Pretty much in agreement with this. It's not the concept or even the cynical/crude humor, it's that, well, the story behind it all is kind of crap.

? since when is obscenity replacing hiding a good story? Clockwork Orange? Full Metal Jacket?

I've only read vol 1 even though I've purchased vol 4,5,6. I'm still looking for the second and third, but I've really enjoyed the first one, excellent story, great humor,lots of violence and TnA. I like how it's based on a villans point of vue instead of a typical hero's. I could see this going places

love her, love the comic, just as wicked as it gets

Kinda fun but... honestly, ridiculous. Too much so. It lacks any sort of substance.
