this is the one gaiman/mckean work that had escaped my collection until recently and to tell the truth I was a bit disappointed. the artwork is excellent (mckean always is excellent) but not as inventive as his later work. and I think gaiman definitely is way too political in this book. his blatant statements about the environment are nothing short of spelled out. As far as putting in other DC Universe characters; I , for one, expect more creativity from Gaiman. The cameos were too simple and didn't really add to the story. More a marketing ploy really, I think.
this is a fine piece of work, but I would suggest others by gaiman such as: anything from the sandman series, violent cases, angels and visitations or neverwhere. on the mckean side I would suggest cages or arkham asylum.

I bought this before "Veils", also reviewed by me, and was very happy since this work, unlike most "comics" work, was more clearly aimed at women. I already owned much of Gaiman and McKean's work and was surprised to discover this feminist and environment oriented book among their earlier work. Also, buying it in the trade paperback version meant I wouldn't be missing any issues of the story, the typical problem when you are trying to find these as individual comics. McKean is my all-time favorite artist in "comics". He can do no wrong and I was delighted to find him doing a non-macho storyline. I wish Gaiman and McKean would go back to this type of work rather than what they are doing now in the "comics" field.

The Black Orchid's cover is blown, and she is killed unceremoniously while infiltrating LexCorp. Usually not much of a problem; she could always grow another body. Only this time the corporation found out where she comes from and hunts her down...
Black Orchid is a rather obscure super heroine who was never paid much attention by the reading public, and unlike most characters, her origin hasn't been developed up to this book.
Neil Gaiman is a popular and talented Comic-book author. Still, this book lacks the certain something one can find in his Sandman. Although he cleverly manages to incorporate real-world topics like pollution or genetic manipulation into the comics world, the reader does not develop much of a bond for his characters, which is an element I enjoyed immensely in his other works. On the other hand, he manages to depict Superman's baddie Lex Luthor as the truly vile and evil character he should be in the big blue's book. Even though the book does not convince me story-wise, Dave McKean does his usual job of exceptional, yet easy to follow artwork. If excellent artwork can help you ignore a slightly disappointing story you should buy this book. (Dies ist eine Amazon.de an der Uni-Studentenrezension.)
