Great review for Issue #2 – “Of G-Strings and Galaxies” at Comics Bulletin:

Abducted by aliens loyal to a familiar looking reptilian dictator–no, not Cheney–Jane Wiedlin awakens on an extraterrestrial examination table and discovers a metallic shell grows over her left limb. Can things possibly get worse? You betcha.

Wiedlin and Morrison combine forces for a kitschy cool scifi pulp filled with sex, nanites and rock and roll. Again, I don’t know where the writers begin and end. I don’t know who wrote what, but I’m guessing Wiedlin had to at least sign off on the things that happen to her comic book avatar.

After an altercation in a forced concert, Jane ends up in the dungeon, and the singer/songwriter doesn’t skimp on abusing her character. Bettie Page lookalikes bring out the whips and a weird looking robot enters the abbatoir to induce even more pain.

Let me just point out that you’re not supposed to be taking this seriously. That’s why Jeff Moy is a perfect fit for the book. The Legion of Super-Heroes artist is known for his light, humorous touch. So although on the surface, there’s a ball-gag in Jane’s mouth, the Bettie Page Twins are serious about their work, the after effects of Jane’s torture amount to old-fashioned cross-hatchery on strategic exposures of her skin. Really. Don’t take this too seriously. Lady Robotika is meant to be a outrageous-anything-goes-science-fiction, and it succeeds beautifully.

Even the scene in which one of Jane’s band trades sexual favors with the dictator for her life should be enjoyed. Her name is T’antra. Come on. She had to end up in somebody’s bed. What’s surprising is that the creative team don’t simply use her as a throwaway gag. Instead, they make her an important figure in the story by having her lead the reader to a most awesome cliffhanger sporting a beloved sci-fi trope.
