For comics art can really make or break it for me and the art did nothing for me. It's that hazy, dark, gritty, block style that makes it so hard for me to deferientate characters. Which is especially hard with an ensemble cast. Renee as the only long dark haired female main and Allen as the primary Black character let me identify them. But most of the time the white characters were difficult to tell apart. Maybe this is a me issue but when they all have similar builds, design and hair I only tell the difference by address.

The story is interesting but without a huge connection with the characters I didn't feel completely immersed. And though I was interested in Renee, I don't think her coming out story was handled with the most care. It was paralleled with murder, slurs and kidnapping and obsessive hetro stalking and everyone fetishing or telling her she will burn in hell. And the only other queer character telling her that 'how she handles will define the rest of her life' which is a lot for someone who just got publicly outed at work and to family. And sends a message that you only have one chance which isn't true or healthy. Also in the first act two good cops casually talk about 'outing' another woman and it comes off as if they are laughing at this which . . .

Yeah it's twenty years old, but this doesn't age well. That saying I am wanting to pick up more Montoya comics.
