From The Shelf Reviews:
Felon #1, Greg Rucka, Top Cow Productions, Nov. 2001. The story is about a female felon who gets her release from prison and tries to piece together what happened that caused her incarceration, primarily, what happened to the money (presumably she was in a group of robbers). It was a pretty good script, but the art wasn't up to the writing quality. Also, on the inside cover, the woman's pen number is AWC-980812-3, yet on the first page it's AWC-960812-3. Oops. C-
The Pants Ant Trouser Hour, Ian Carney and Woodrow Phoenix, Slave Labor, July 2001. An interesting concept: an ant in a controllable pants suit out to protect his city from pants evil-doers. I loved the art; it was reminiscent of a Saturday morning cartoon with an adult edge, but some of the gags were consistently repeated. At first, they were funny, but as you trucked through the 48-pager, they became quite banal. I would rate it higher, but the continual gags brought it down for me. C+
