"I just hope someone as cute as you doesn't turn out to be a guy. I couldn't afford the therapy."

A piece of uber-turgid-trash... wherein lies it's appeal! If you have a fetish for daytime soap TV fused with lots of spandex then this one is for you! There's trouble at The Institute when shape-shifting Mum tries to seduce her daughter's boyfriend (Remy) by posing as the nymph "Foxx". Seems superhero love has all the same pitfalls as human love... except that there's a lot more destruction of solid structures involved!

A massive blow for Western Literature but also some of the best that is bad about superheroism can be found in this graphic novel.
