Personal note: It's nice to see Archer and Armstrong back. I always liked that comic!

 

 

 

 

Here's a template for a 4-issue miniseries: Take a space ship--call it Savannah--on its voyage home with an all-women crew. All pretty women, with abnormally, unrealistically large bosoms and curvaceaous figures clad in skintight suits. Then, present a cool, clever bit of sci-fi problem for the crew to run into and solve each issue, such as... well, inter-dimensional beings, aggressive aliens, jungle planets that dissolve their spacesuits, and the like. And what have you got? Oh yeah, there are always those curmudgeons who'd grumble and gripe that this is just another shallow, sexually exploitative comic book. The only thing is that with writers Frank Cho and Doug Murray, 50 Girls 50 is anything but shallow, not to mention that there is nothing sexual at all in this miniseries as there are no males in the story nor is there any hint of romantic involvement among the women. What it is, is a fun, terrific series that does not suffer from any letdown. It is also a very pretty comic book, what with artist Axel Medellin whose skinsuit seam designs have a way of accentuating the curves and giving these women a stronger sense of energy, motion and depth than you’d normally expect--and I say that with all seriousness.
