The art is gorgeous and I heartily agree in that it manages to have sex appeal but in a tasteful manner. Sort of similar to how Catwoman is often sexy but in a more classy manner than Black Cat who has half her chest hanging out at every opportunity! :P  
 
Second post today calling a robot lady sexy. Pretty sure I need to go see someone for help about that...

ok .... I've seen the covers....
 
Now I've seen the interiors  I'm really interested in this series.
 But I think I'm gonna wait for the TPB

Looks promising. Gotta put my hands on her.

I'm glad this got a good score from you Babs.I was actually planning on picking this up.I don't usually step outside of Marvel and DC but something about this makes me think it will be a good read.

I'm really feeling the art to this.

This looks particularly cool too me. I will definitely check it out and try to find the #0. 

I'll give it a look but if anything the colors will probably get on my nerves. Top Cow loves to overdo it on the texture overlays or underlays and what not. like the skirt of the first image in your exclusive preview. 
 
Drives me nuts!   

Thanks Babs! 
for such an in-depth review of what looks to be a great piece of art. I plan on picking it up, I just have some speculation if the plot art can keep up with the cover art, if so then it is a winner. Some nice pages you have showed us!

I have been waiting for this one, so I'm glad it got such a good score! Thanks, Babs!!

Do want, I like teh sexy dangerous ladies!  Hopefully my LCS has it next week.

This is Aspen, but I know what you're saying. But there isn't any of that in the other pages I posted. "

Wow. It looks so cool. I passed on #0 but I may still add this to my stack.

Hey, robot ladies need some lovin', too.

... What? Don't judge me.

seems cool, not sure if i would buy it monthly....maybe a trade

Dude! I'm sold! :D

  I like the art.

Can't wait for this, really liked the zero issue. Thought it went on sale this week though. >.<

I agree that a comic should not be a challenge or puzzle to read. But what is a challenge to read? I don't consider a story with depth and interesting character development a challenge. I'm a bit disappointed that this comic looks indeed great, but apparantly at a slight cost. But maybe that's too much to ask.

You know I am noticing a steam punk feel for this. 

POW!!  Very sexy ;)

Sounds and looks fantastic!
Those covers are amazing!

" ok .... I've seen the covers....  Now I've seen the interiors  I'm really interested in this series.  But I think I'm gonna wait for the TPB "

I would buy it but getting Aspen books delivered to me is a nightmare. I'll wait for the trade.

I specifically like the art of the alternate covers you posted.  I'd love to see the interior panels capture that gritty steam punk look.

The art looks amazing.

I haven't been to the comic shop in nearly a year.  This looks to be the book that drags me back down that rabbit hole.  Lovely work.

Love it!

I can't wait for this to come out.  It's always nice to branch out of the realm of traditional Super Heroes outside the Big Two, and Benitez is awesome!  I've been avoiding the comic book store lately, and sticking to the comics I subscribe to, but this comic may drag me back there.  Hopefully I don't spend to much money while I'm there.

If anyone is interested in seeing more of Joes work you can check out his Deviant Art page here.  http://joebenitez.deviantart.com/# 
 
Just a heads up a lot of comic book artists are uploading pre-post production work even before books come out, obviously omitting stories or anything too revealing. Sometimes it's nice to see the work before it's inked or colored to see how much it changes through the processes.

" @Om1kron: Don't forget Joe Benitez once worked for Top Cow (Aphrodite IX?), as well as Michael Turner. Art is like music; most everyone has an influence or a connection to the past, in one way or another. "

Im loving the art. The girl reminded me of edward scissorhands though. :D

awesome stuff

:P~ that's hot

You like an Aspen book?  I want to check this out... also might prefer it in trade.. don't know.  If I get singlr issues you never know with Aspen how many months it's going to be until the next one. or is that just with Blue Descent?  Does anyone know why that title is taking so long with issue # 2?

really big fan of cyberpunk and steampunk literature, and I've been waiting for a decent comic to take the wors and translate them into images...and these look awesome. Just hope the story isn't too cliched with old London town etc.

I haven't been this excited to start a new book since Ignition City.  That is another book where the covers blew me away and I pulled it,  because of absolute gorgeous-ness.

This book is a great read from cover to cover and the artwork is some of Joe's greatest in his career.
