As an action-adventure, this book is actually quite successful. It reads quickly and enjoyably and is supported by strong art. However, when you take a closer look, the flaws start to add up.First, we have the extreme sexualization, put in solely as a marketing ploy as far as I can tell. Voodoo crawls around as the splash for both issues 1 & 4. She acts as a stripper, she has pseudo-lesbian sex.Second, a lot of the plot just doesn’t make sense. Why is Voodoo acting as a stripper? No particular r...

Did you see the 90's movie Species? This is better than that. And it would have been perfect if they didn't shoehorn in the ridiculous daemonite (did you say demon knight hahaha) storyline that they are desperately trying to make work.

Priscilla Kitaen aka Voodoo is the hottest stripper in New Orleans but the Feds are tailing her - because she’s actually a shape-shifting alien trying to steal secrets about the Justice League to pave the way for her race’s invasion of Earth! Maybe it’s because I wasn’t expecting anything from this, but Voodoo wasn’t bad. Being a character from the early ‘90s series “WildCATS”, she’s not exactly the most famous or the most obvious choice for their own series but Ron Marz does a decent job of cra...

The artwork is quite attractive in this volume and the story isn't too bad either. A shapeshifting alien called Pris is a Daemonite posing as an exotic dancer so she can hide among the humans and gather information on their heroes. This information would be used for a Daemonite invasion of Earth. She is determined to succeed in her mission whatever the obstacles, mainly by killing them in grusome fashion.(view spoiler)[Pris kills an FBI agent, a team of Black Razors and a rival Daemonite, she es...

(Read the single issues not the trade edition shown)I thought the story was actually pretty good, if you could get pass the first issue which was like some kind of fan service to strip clubs. The first issue was not the best but the second issue and on at least focused on the reason why these government people are after her (besides her being a murderer) and what Voodoo was really up to.

Of all the books that came out at the start of the "New 52" era, this is one that I think slipped through the cracks and never really went anywhere. Which is a shame, because there's definitely a lot of potential here -- a story about an alien spy, a shape-shifting hybrid sent to Earth to uncover it's secrets but hated by her own kind for being "impure." The character of Voodoo is interesting, someone who is committed to her mission but is curious and develops a sense of "humanity" despite herse...

I was just 11 when Image Comics was born out of the break of Marvel's greatest talent from the company. The first book I read was WildCATS, because I was in love with Jim Lee's art. I got behind the book, for a while at least, and remember being picked up one night from a boy scout camping trip early because I'd gotten sick, to find my ma had pillaged a comic book store and got me some books and a WildCats tee-shirt. Sometimes, moms are really great. I still have that shirt. Came across it in ma...

Voodoo enters the DC Universe in the New 52 but unfortunately all the things that made her interesting, except her looks, are missing. Ron Marz, who has a long history in comics panders to some of the lower elements undermining Voodoo as a character. She is more than her looks and that isn't evident here. Her background here is mysterious but readers aren't really given a chance to like her. The same goes for the cliched supporting cast. The inclusion of Kyle Rayner (in a few panels) is superflu...

Not bad -- but not something I'm likely to become addicted to, either. Priscilla Kitaen is a mysterious beauty stripping under the stage name of Voodoo -- and being chased by government agents. Her origins and motivations are unknown, seemingly even to her, but we soon learn she is an alien shape-shifter and mind reader, and soon on the run from nearly everyone.

Considering that DC made a hash of most of the Wildstorm characters they imported in the New 52, this one was actually pretty decent. I should have known I could trust Ron Marz. The art is gorgeous and it was just interesting enough to make me both relieved it wasn't as bad as the New 52 Grifter, and to want to see where the next volume goes.

How this book even got created is an absolute miracle as far as I'm concerned.

I feel like any review of this volume of Voodoo probably has to talk about the first issue. In the first issue, Voodoo works as a stripper. In the original Wildstorm comics, this was part of her character. Here, there isn't really much of a reason for her to be working as a stripper. There are pages and pages of stripping. There really isn't much else that goes on. While I generally like Sami Basri's art, he isn't really the first person I would go to for drawings of a stripper, as most of the p...

Slightly entertaining. Marginally good. It's DC. Shoulda known I'd be underwhelmed.

I picked this up off the sale rack at my local comic store for fun, and was not disappointed. I might have to search for a while to find the next installment. I really want more.The main character is sexy, as the cover would indicate, but look closer and you'll find that the claws are also hers. This came from a super interesting point of view and I want to know more. Also making an appearance is Green Lantern, so, huh.5/5 because hell yeah.

"I look human . . . but I am something else. They see the shell . . . never what lies beneath. We can walk among them . . . and they never know. Even the most powerful can be fooled." -- the fleeting thoughts of Priscilla 'Voodoo' KitaenVoodoo, Vol. 1: What Lies Beneath unmistakably culls some inspiration from (although in a more cynical mood I might use the phrase 'rips off' instead) two late 20th century sci-fi / horror films - The Hidden (1987), which featured a criminally-minded alien who wo...

This is a new origin story for Voodoo whom I'd never heard of before. I really enjoyed it! There are ties with the groups The Black Razors and The Blackhawks. Green Lantern Kyle Raynor appears in one issue too. So I liked those familiar faces showing up with this otherwise new-to-me character. Voodoo starts off seeming like a bad guy at first but by the end of this volume we like her and see her not as badly as first shown. Lots of action, with a fast-paced plot and an ending that leaves you rea...

Actual rating: 3.5 starsYears ago, my older brother introduced me to WildC.A.Ts and all things Jim Lee. I loved Zealot and Grifter the most and through the years, I lost some knowledge of the characters such as Mail, Spartan and Voodoo. When DC absorbed Voodoo and Grifter into the New 52, I was excited about Grifter, disappointed that there was no Zealot and ambivalent about Voodoo's solo title. My brother was looking forward to the Voodoo series and it is from him that I borrowed both volumes.

So much unnecessary cheesecake. But I do like Priscilla.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like this story line, it was part of a book haul from about a year ago. It has been sitting on my shelf waiting for judgment day ever since.The overall artwork isn't bad at all, but nothing I was really particularly impressed by either. The story line itself is, well, rough. The origin story is interesting enough and the character, Voodoo, herself is pretty damn awesome. Parts of the story seemed forced. Most of the sexual content, it just didn't fit. It was there...

Priscilla Kitaen aka Voodoo is an alien agent sent to retrieve information on Earth's superhoeroes for her alien overlords. She's tracked by agents Fallon and Blackjack of the Black Razors. Voodoo begins to question her choices when her telekinetic powers begin to give her human feelings. So she heads to her bosses to find out.I think I liked this a little more than I should've. She starts off as a stripper. Classy. Voodoo uses her feminine wiles a lot, perhaps too much to complete her missions....
