The latest miniseries in the Seven Soldiers line, this is the story of a beautiful young woman whose scientist-husband is obsessed with turning the couple into superheroes, thus making them famous and preserving their youth and beauty forever. His experiments however kill him and give his wife steel-hard skin, turning her into a reluctant-- but very hot-looking hero. There is no mention of the wider conflict with the Sheeda or the other "soldiers." That actually makes this a rather satisfying story. A standard origin that sets up the hero for a wider future. The art is also rather good, showcasing the beauty and strangeness of the character. But this issue also has a shortage of action scenes so it would be hard to say how the art team will handle more complex stories.
