Comments: Belle has one cool outfit and her motorcycle is out of this world. Belle has monster hunting in her blood.
The Centaur is illustrated to show it is one evil butt kicking half horse/half man creature. The Centaur looks amazing. The Centaur pursues Belle and the hate is just radiating out from him.
Belle is not shown off to best effect. Better poses were needed.
Belle makes for a gorgeous monster hunting woman. She is armed with a sword and daggers and wearing some armor. Her outfit is sensible rather than revealing. You can tell Belle is there to kill monsters.
Both the Minotaur and Centaur make for powerful beats and a great way to start this series off with Belle fighting each one.
Belle the Monster Hunter is ready for all monsters but are they ready for her.

Comments: Belle is attacked by a tentacled monster with extra heads in its mouth if you can picture that if not buy the comic to see it. The creature and all its parts are illustrated as something from a nightmare. Belle goes into bloody action with her ax. Belle does have some weird thoughts as she fights. There are some great battle poses. The ship that appears at the end of the battle just appears with no explanation, where did it come from and why is it there?
The look at Belle's life outside of monster hunting is done well. It lets you get to know her a little bit as a person.
The Medusa beast attacks next and it is a hideous thing of evil. Belle has some wonderfully expressive expressive expresses.
There is way to much left unexplained. The way the story flips back and forth from her normal life to fighting monsters it seems as if one or the other could just be a dream. The ending is weird as well with no reason why.
Belle now looks amazing in battle. She shows us all that she is a Beast Hunter.
