Okay, here we get to see, at least in the cliff notes version, how a sweet little Jewish girl goes about becoming a hard ass army chick willing to gun down her former best friend, and an unarmed American politician. This was an interesting book to say the very least. I was interested in the character, while it did not satisfy all of my curiosities, at least it answered a few of the main questions I have about the character. I think I like the use of color in this issue. The cover needs a little work, but the interior is spot on.
