Rating: 8 out of 10

Hallelujah, a comic that doesn't suck (in a bad way...heh,heh). Okay, I have to admit that as I was reading this (and enjoying it), I began to wonder if I was a bad girl for liking this story....and that maybe I should have my brain examined by mental-health professionals. But, then, I said, "Oh, fuck it", and enjoyed this comic.

Yes, it is what it appears to be at first:"Red" is a hooker who dresses up for her clients in the form of their fairy-tale fantasy (be it Goldilocks, Rapunzel and, of course, Little Red Riding Hood). Mind you, it's the perverted fantasy (her first client is an old dude who dresses up like "Grandma" and after reciting the lines of the fairy tale, he proceeds to play with and eat her pussy, use a dildo, and then he cums all over her face). All the while, she's being chauffered from place to place by her boy Burt (I imagine he's her pimp). The last "client" turns out to be a werewolf who wants to play "the real game" of Little Red Riding Hood and the big bad wolf. He proceeds to tear her clothes off, and just as he's about to kill her, Red uses her hooker skills and persuades him to let her blow him while she figues out what to do. But then..it becomes this really erotic beastiality story where the wolf does "eat" her...and eats her good, and then he gives her the best fuck of her life.

Okay, this does tap into the female psyche....yeah, we want a "beast" in the bedroom (or in this case, the alley), and I gotta say....if Vixen had a man, beast, whatever, who could eat and fuck like this monster, I'd be one happy bitch ALL THE TIME!!!!!! The artwork was great--it looks like how porn is supposed to look, with the cute and voluptuous woman and the muscular and strong monster with the big dick...oh yeah, guess I do have dick on the brain right now.

The only problem I had was with the ending...they end up fucking until the dawn, and of course, he changes back into human form---and it turns out he's a real dud (i.e. balding, big gut, etc.). That wasn't my issue. My issue was that after he turns back, Red is so angry b/c he had her thinking that he was still going to kill her after he came (a true possibility), she kicks him in the balls, and as he's begging for his life now, she kills him--with the same dildo that the old dude (remember "Grandma"?) fucked her with. Now...I get the whole "you scared me, so now I gotta kick your ass" attitude---but, why kill him? I mean, look at it this way: If you two work out an agreement to just fuck while he's in werewolf form and he still gives you mind-blowing orgasms, hey, I say keep it going!! But, that's just my opinion.

But, again, I liked the story...it's definitely a twisted take on the bedtime story, and as I said before, the artwork was great--it looked professionally done, like the way you'd want your porn comic to look. Red looked just like the typical male fantasy girl, which was cool. And, uh, the werewolf was lovely--as lovely as werewolves can be, I suppose.

Now, if you'll excuse me---Vixen's gotta go take a cold shower and then I gotta find my own beast (smile).
