From School Library Journal
Grade 7-9–The Danger Girls are three super-sexy super-spies whose latest mission is to track down the Master Key that controls nuclear missiles around the world. But does the Master Key actually exist? This is a typical superhero comic, filled with action, snappy banter, and big guns. The illustrations are drawn with fluid, confident lines, and inventive paneling gives a dynamic, cinematic look to the action scenes. In one of the best, a Danger Girl flings herself and a hostage through an office window and parachutes her way down. She, like her fellow spies, executes all of her heroic deeds in skimpy clothing, with vampy, sultry poses. This fast-paced story should circulate, though its intended audience is more likely adolescent boys than future Danger Girls.–Lisa Goldstein, Brooklyn Public Library, NY

Customer Reviews

Doesn't live up to "Danger Girl" name.
I think the two things that made the original Danger Girl run so much fun were the unapologetic campiness and the exaggerated artwork. Still, those need to be applied judiciously, and tied together with an engaging plot, and "Back in Black" didn't do that. The artwork just doesn't do it for me. The body work seems to be going more for the Abercrombie and Fitch work than anything. The high fashion influence on Johnny, Zero and Deuce is a little bit irritating -- they were better when they were ripped, and had chests. The chest thing goes for the girls too. What we get a lot of are gazes averted to the top corners of the pages and really big mouths. If you took Lar Desouza's art and cleaned it up, but left it every bit as obnoxious as ever, you'd have a pretty close approximation to the artwork in "Back in Black".

In short: The story isn't as fun, the art isn't as fun, the jokes aren't as funny, but it's still Danger Girl (and I'll take it).

Tamer Danger
The cover aside, this is a tamer danger: Less curves most of the times, there are exceptions as when Sydney loses her top in the desert and her chaps are doing their best to go south and join her vest. But overall the drawing is outstanding without testing the outlandish the way Scott Campbell does, and the paper is not glossy so a lot of the color is subdued compared to the original Danger Girl; it's still very impressive.
Sophmoric jokes, cardboard villians, midgets, ninjas, tanks in the streets, unrequitted tattoo barracuda love, and the horror of all horrors old age abound in the plot line.
We all know where the journey ends, but it is a good ride with scenes that play like Tomb Raider and Spiderman... You have to see the turtle that gets spun around by the zooming biker girls; was it wearing a thong.
This is not Scott Campbell, but I can understand why the master allowed it to be published: it is really good, especially the covers.

Danger Girl strikes back!
More issues of Danger Girl. If you know the Danger Girls, you know what you're into with this one. Is more of the same adventures of these girls trying to save the world at the most pure Charlie's Angels or James Bond style.

The only thing I complain about in this issue is that Sydney doesn't have more action, and that maybe there could be more explanation on the snipper. I'm not going to reveal too much, but there's a moment in which Sydney says something like "Ok, she was wrong, now she's done right, but still we have to turn her". Was she laid to? That's why she was doing the wrong thing and then decides to do the right one? Or did the Danger Gils "convince" her to do what she ends doing? That didn't seem clear to me.
