Review by Frank Plowright

Glory Owen is a young women with a hell of lot of problems in her life, and whenever she attempts to rectify matters, somehow she only manages to make things worse. Rick Remender ended She’s Got You with Glory being chased down by organ harvesters, having acquired the new liver she needed to save her father’s life. Now all she has to do is make it to Mexico and a surgeon able to transplant it without many of the people who want to see her dead catching up. In case there’s any doubt about how serious these people are, take a look at Bengal’s sample spread at what’s left of the family business.

What Glory has going in her favour is lifetime of experience living off-grid, and the friends she’s recently gathered. They’re strange, but not nearly as weird as the killers chasing her.

From the start escalation has been Remender’s primary concern and that continues throughout Glory’s run here. Every time it appears she’s caught a break, the screw is turned, although for the sake of the excitement the details are a little fudged. During one Mad Max-style chase sequence for instance, there’s no way the unbelievably massive vehicle would keep up, so Remender devises a solution. Drawing that chase is phenomenally complicated, yet Bengal manages the combination of movement and clarity for two impossibly paced chapters. Along the way he keeps every member of the cast distinguishable and manages to factor in the drawing of some classic cars.

As with the first volume, a healthy sense of the absurd accompanies the adrenaline rush, such as the entire series of events being prompted by the desire for a big cock, although not in the way anyone one might imagine. And let’s not sully Glory’s name by connecting her with that, by the way.

Impossibly violent and unimaginably gratuitous, this is pulp fiction cranked up to an explosive max. You might even want to spring for the entire story in the single hardback Prestige Edition.
