I'm giving this 3 stars, although I think that the artwork deserves a 5 star rating. The story was interesting, but it did jump around a lot. My main complaint is with the characters, especially Vexana, who is really two dimensional. Overall, it was good enough read that I'll probably check out more, but it's not going to go onto my favorites list.

I requested an ARC of this TPB because firstly, it’s about a pissed off lady who wreaks havoc wherever she goes, and secondly, the cover art really stood out from the others made available to me.

The TPB only consists of the first four issues which gives you just under a 100 pages of great illustrations to read through. Unbeknownst to me is that a similar story published by Valiant Comics called “UNITY” is related to this one – you might want to give that a try as well before you start with this series to get some background info on who Unity is.

Story-wise, I found The Forgotten Queen a real thrill to read. The characters were albeit two-dimensional but then again this is about immortals who kick ass everywhere they go, blood, guts, and the screams of the dying always accompanying them. Tini Howard’s writing is on par with any title you’d expect from a DC/Marvel comic, and Amilcar Pinna’s drawings really paint the scenery with vibrant colors, detail, and shading – adding more weight to the story that you’ll actually want to keep reading.

I also doubt anyone could resist not to take a snapshot of the cover image of our protagonist expertly drawn by David Aja.

Hopefully this series expands quite a bit to explain why the immortals are still holding grudges against each other and if the scientific/research element will still maintain a presence of sort.
