This comic was pretty much a perfect execution. The plot isn't the most original* but the pacing works well, the art is fantastic (really love the way the colors heighten the blaxploitation feel of it). I don't know if I have much to say about it specifically, other than yes good I would read more.

*and there's something to be said about how originality in plot is overrated, especially if it comes with characters and settings that aren't usually front-and-center.
