Comments: "Warning: Amalgama's got all the powers of the Danger Doll Squad...and more!!! Stay Alert!" 
  This is a mature title due to nudity and violence.
  Amalgama we see is a combination of Dollface, Vampblade and Zombie Tramp and she has all their powers. She also has another ability when she eats someone she gets their knowledge. 
  The character Amalgama is presented as a fun one. The art is sexy showing her as a beautiful woman with a taste for flesh. 
  It is a great touch using different colors for the word balloons to show Amalgama has three different beings to make her up. 
  Amalgama seems to have no memory of who she was. This is a different twist on the character. 
  In this issue there is not a whole lot that happens and what does is not given any significance. When something does happen it is over before you get a chance to enjoy it. The ending does have you wondering what will she do with those aliens? 
  Amalgama is cute but she does need to find herself.

Comments: "Warning: This book contains in-your-face full frontal cosmic sci-fi action! Stay Alert!" 
  Amalgama has landed on the planet Skrillus. Its inhabitants look like sperm. Amalgama gets into a battle against thousands of these little aliens. It is a lopsided fight and as she kills them she snacks on their brains. Alien brains to keep her fueled up. 
  Amalgama has amnesia yet she is still handling herself ok. Her big black bird creature is drawn as one awesome thing. Amalgama even makes a interesting being to see as she adjusts to her situation. 
  Amalgama has so many powers and she keeps finding new ones. She needs a nemesis worthy of her. Aliens are fine and it is always good to see a variety of species but she needs more to face off against. 
  Watching Amalgama having all these sperm shaped aliens trying to enter her body was a different type of fight and her swallowing them well the scenes certainly have a sexual connotation. 
  Getting to watch as Amalgama learns more about herself and her powers is the start of an adventure of her lifetime.

Comments: Amalgama is just having a nice bath She is enjoying herself when alien bounty hunters attack. They do take her relatively easy you would have expected more of a battle. The Skrillex do seem to like her and want to protect her. Amalgama now has a pet cat and what a cat it is. This creature is unlike any cat you have ever seen or will. 
  Who is Orra-Neb? She does look cute. 
  Amalgama is mainly all tied up and a prisoner for most of the issue. It would be better to see her in action using her various weapons. The mystery cylinder is a nice touch. It suggests that there are more and anything could come out of them. What creatures will she release in the future? 
  This issue is boring though it needed more action and excitement. The aliens are illustrated nicely and a nude Amalgama is drawn lovely. She just needed to be used better. She should be shown more as a fighter.

Comments: Amalgama  finds herself under attack on a space ship. The aliens find a most undignified way to get her off the ship. 
  A bounty hunter finds her floating in space.  
  The art makes Amalgama look almost like a little girl. This is a contrast to her swearing and nudity. Of course there is all the killing to. 
  Thus bounty hunter thinks she is so tough and has things totally under control. With Amalgama under control does not apply. 
  Orra Nebb the bounty hunter is not as stupid as one might first think. Not enough is shown here about her to fully appreciate her. The brief glimpse though is enough to get you wanting more. For some unknown reason Orra Nebb's name is spelled differently from the last issue where it was Orra-Neb. Things are not always as they seem with her. 
  Amalgama now she is sneaky yet with a bounty on her head will it be enough well she also has so many abilities. She does kick butt and eats brains.
