This was a fun and well-done graphic novel. I enjoyed the story and the artwork was amazingly drawn. I look forward to more from this series as well as the authors and artists.

DNF

It's 2017 and I'm tired of reading graphic novels that's only purpose is sexualizing women. If your stories only features are big boobs, short skirts, and women having no minds, then you should probably not be a publishing artist. This is not quality content. This is why people stigmatize graphic novels and miss out on great pieces like Saga, Vol. 1 and Descender, Vol. 1: Tin Stars. If your first ten pages consist of sexual innuendo that could be on an episode of Family Guy, then there probably isn't a good joke anywhere to be found. I will not finishing this graphic novel or supporting it. If you want to read about boobs, women who are only meant to be paper dolls on the page, and put into situations that always happen to be sexual, then this may be for you. I personally want a good story with substance, plot, and emotion. Dollface lacks that.


Thank you, Netalley and Diamond Book Distributors, for providing me with a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

Felt like this was written by a 12 year old boy who just got his first erection. Dollface is a sex doll with a soul from the Necronomicon. Yes really, with great dialog like "What the shit?".

I am choosing not to read this for review at this time.

A very adult graphic novel. Great artwork. Reminds me very much of Weird Science, only much much more adult.

Ivan and Emily created Lila using a 3D printer and the book of the dead. She’s a doll they brought to life. They wanted to create a lifelike sexdoll and make a fortune selling it. But they didn’t realize she would have the soul of a real girl who lived four centuries ago. Lila came with a lot of baggage too. She was killed by a witch, who she meets in the modern world. Lila the dollface and her friends go on a witch hunt to find the book of the dead.

The plot of the story was interesting. It would make a good story for some people to create a doll but then she has the soul of someone else. With the popularity of 3D printing today, this would be a good story.

However, I really didn’t like this graphic novel. There was a ton of nudity and swearing that was really unnecessary. I think the story would have been much more effective without it.

I don't care about the C-bomb or the crotch-shots in this, I just care that it's ugly, messy, unfunny and really quite stupid. DNF.

I am just getting into graphic novels. I did enjoy this one. the drawing was good and it had a decent plot.

A teen boy's wet dream of a graphic novel...all boobs and cursing and a pervy ghost. I don't mind some of those elements, but this just wasn't my cup of tea...witch hunting or not.

She’s known as “The Ball Jointed Witch Hunter,” which definitely sounds unique.
A spirit called Lila has come from the time of the Salem Witch Trials to the present, now housed in the body of a 3-D printed hottie. The title of the book is well named, as along with her pink hair and sexy maid’s outfit her face does indeed look doll-like, thankfully not in a creepy way. She’s got a human sidekick and a formerly human sidekick, who now looks like a reject from a ghost cosplay convention. The Necromicon is in there too, and Weird Science and Bride of Frankenstein are mentioned on the same page.
When she wanders into a bar, fielding compliments for the first time, she comes across an enemy when the witch icon pops into her head. Another time she throws herself off the roof and makes a perfect landing, celebrating with a woo-hoo that shows she learned about living in this century quickly. And her exclamation of “Oh fuck beans!” was particularly fun.
Unfortunately the action slows down in the middle as the story goes into a huge flashback to explain how she was built and her spirit came to inhabit the sex doll body. It also shows how Ivan became a ghost blob.
The authors must have thought that, in a story full of witches, animated dolls, and ghosts, nothing needed to make sense. Not true. And sadly it’s not nearly as funny as it hopes to be.
10 pages of covers and bonus.
2.5 pushed up to 3/5

What a creepy and delightful little comic that was to read! The artwork was fantastic and seriously can't wait to check out more in this series and from the artist. Can't rave enough about this one!

I want to thank Dan Mendoza, Bryan Seaton and Diamond Book Distributors, for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This comic had an interesting concept however, all the swearing and the blatent sexism and boob jokes were just too much. We had a bad-ass with hunting heroine reduced to a gawking figure for the lols. No thanks.

Apparently I need to do more research on things before I try them because I feel like if I had taken two seconds to look up the author and see his other series is called 'Zombie Tramp' and look at the covers on those, I would have known to give this a pass. Or if they had picked a different cover for this, because literally every other cover variation is some awful 'sexy' cover yet they choose this one. Basically this entire thing is just an excuse for the artist to draw a ton of naked women with huge tits and try to pretend it's somehow relevant to anything. That's it. If that's what you're looking for then hey pick this up, if you wanted an actual story with a plot that treats female characters like actual people and doesn't have a million anime-style panty shots then please run far away.

This comic is a little more violent and gory than the kind of thing I'm normally into, but I thought it could be fun. I was expecting something like a more mature version of Buffy, but I was a little disappointed. It's a fun premise with an interesting backstory and strong, powerful female characters. However the female characters are- with one exception- very scantily clad and hypersexualised. The main male character frequently objectifies the women around him and his creepiness just seems to be accepted. It was such a good story but it felt like it had a lot more potential that it didn't live up to.

I'm definitely not the target audience for this story. If you like campy horror with a lot of sexual innuendo and artwork similar to Adam Warren's style, this may be for you. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy that in some cases. I'm not sure this one did it as successfully though for my tastes. Lila's origin story left me with a feeling close to disgust regarding Ivan, and her initial venture into the modern world didn't add up especially after finding out where she came from. I don't want to ruin it for anyone wanting to read this title, though.

This is a fun adult graphic novel. But the watermarks made it too difficult to read the text.
