Review: Trouble




It's a hot, sunny day on the Moon and Tamika is at the beach, topping up her tan.

Straylight Beach is in Honeycomb Bay, a dome that simulates the environment of Earth (before it became toxic), including a 400 cubic mile man-made ocean surrounded by beaches amusement parks and several downtown shopping districts. 

Tamika 'Trouble' Kennedy is a young ex-military private investigator with finely-honed combat skills and experimental nanotechnology implanted into her body. Her relaxing plans to spend the day sunbathing followed by cocktails with a girlfriend are scuppered when she receives a call from the defence force Solcorps: A robbery is in progress and they need her help.

Telling the muscular android waiter to hold her mojito, she leaps into the fray...

Trouble by writer Phoebe Xavier and artist Cheunchin Bunnag is a fun romp with wonderfully over-the-top sexy, high-tech characters battling it out in an exotic lunar Utopia. The action is non-stop and the tone is light and irreverent as our cyber-enhanced superheroine athletically tackles hulking himbo bad guys with many a witty wisecrack.

Bunnag's style is pure technicolor sugar rush with voluptuous and hypertrophic players locked in some very intense matches, all delivered with a relentless energy, merging Western and manga styles with joyful ferocity.

There's no rest for the wicked and no tan time for Trouble as the criminals keep on popping up. Can she save the day in time to keep her date with her gossipy robo-chick buddy at the snazzy cocktail bar?
