Oh my goodness!!!!!

I think I saw an "episode" of this! Don't have it anymore, but I really liked the sort of techno/spiritual feel of it. (At least the comic I read.)

Do you know the author's name? Is it in collection form or still just the skinny little comics? Thanks~

Also could you tell me more about the content, so I'll know if I want to 'get serious' about getting some of it?

Thanks!!!

They do have it collected in trade paperback form, and page-size-wise they're ginormous. I personally have fallen in love with the story...the art is great too (love the Red Woman!). It's set in an alternate future, where Russia is a world power, and use women with psychic (is it psychic? telekinetic? er...) powers called "sorceresses" during a with a...a...oh goodness I forgot. It's been a while. But I'm waiting for my library to stock the next installment so I can catch up.

That was a pointless post wasn't it? :sweat:

Yeah, that sounds like the one I remember. I thought it was weird to call her a witch or whatever. It looked like sort of technology superpowers.

Hey... your library carries it. That's something. My library seems to only carry DragonBall and DBZ comics, and Yu-Gi-Oh! and some superhero stuff -- none of which I read.
