Ay dios mio, is Sheena not the hottest comic book character ever created? I’d love to say no, but the way she’s drawn by Vincenc Villagrasa, I’d say oh good god yes. If there’s a woman like her, I have to find her. “Sheena” has been drawn in such alluring seductive tones that the comic has been a bonafide excellent read, and the gratuity brought on by the creators matched with the tongue in cheek character writing, and “Sheena” is one of the more entertaining titles of the DDP library. While I’d love to say that this book got my goat because of the incredible writing, I’d just be lying through my teeth. The splashes, purposefully risqué posing (take the caterpillar scene, for instance), and sexual manner in which Sheena is constantly placed on page makes it a guarantee that they know what they’re dealing with. But the character isn’t the only draw. The 48 page one-shot is a fascinating self-contained story about a conspiracy occurring among a group of researchers who are all turning up mutilated and without a head. The finger has been pointed at the mythical Mapinguari, a cyclopean creature who has been thought of extinct for many years, but has now apparently turned up to destroy these scientists who bear a secret. Now to help clear two innocent men, Sheena leads a group of explorers across the jungle to find out what is going on and this leads them into kidnap, assassination attempts, an incredible battle with the T‘Inga tribe, and a surprise ending that is just as sly and witty as the mini-series from before. The pacing and dialogue was absolutely rich and clever, with a keen focus on never breaking the personality or mystique of Sheena, who remains the guiding hand in clearing the two innocent men’s names. There are also some hilarious sight gags that act as wonderful moments in the carnage, only an extra touch to a fine one-shot.
