I am enhanced by pants.
Lots of exposition in this first issue, the story gets kind of muddied with it. I'm not sure if I'm liking the characters yet - too slick seeming yet for a gritty detective story. The tough/girl porn star thing seems a bit gratuitous and a little on the nose.
The elements are there for interesting stories though, but the first issue left me feeling a little underwhelmed.

shoved this book in my hand and said "I'm not telling you anything about this
other than you will love it". I'm lucky to have friends that know me this well,
although I'm hard pressed to think of someone who wouldn't enjoy this ride. I
mean Nicola Tesla, Mark Twain vs the Robber Barons and their henchmen Edison and
Marconi? A yeti? Aw hells yeah! </font>

American take on the ahistorical fiction genre started by Moore in
his "Extraordinary Gentlemen" books. Matt Faction continues to prove himself
among the best writers out there.</font>
