Burt, Stephen, Ruminator Review: "With luck (and the right publicity) readers accustomed to chick-lit, to SEX AND THE CITY, to shojo manga...will find the plot just as welcome, and the small-scale surprises just as delightful, as will readers used to other superheroes: a book crossing two genres deserves two audiences....Few comics have more appropriate, or more consistently executed art." |

| Details: |
Collecting all eight issues of a comic book miniseries by the Luna Brothers, ULTRA: SEVEN DAYS poignantly depicts Sex for the Superpowered in the City. Ultra (aka Pearl Penelosa) and her two superheroine friends Aphrodite (Olivia Arancina) and Cowgirl (Jennifer Janus) might have certain advantages when it comes to taking down criminals, but their personal lives are far from super. When a crack-dealing fortuneteller tells Ultra that she will find true love within the next week, Ultra unknowingly goes looking for it in all the wrong places, and finds herself center stage in an enormous tabloid scandal. Mocked by the public she devotes her life to saving, Ultra learns just how much supposedly invulnerable superheroines can be hurt. ULTRA: SEVEN DAYS provides plenty of full-color action, set alongside pages seemingly ripped from celebrity magazines--which make the intimate details of the superhero lifestyle seem just another part of our star-obsessed pop culture. |
