Running 40 minutes late to a screening-party for the Ed
Brubaker-penned webseries Angel of Death? No worries: at 43:28,
two characters clunkily recap AOD‘s plot. Everyone’s worried
badass assassin Eve (Zoe Bell) has a newly developed conscience and is
coming after her assassin bosses. One assassin chum assures another
that “Eve doesn’t see the world that way: good guys and bad guys.”
Assassin chum number two retorts: “Maybe she got stabbed in the fucking
brain and now she does.” He’s not being metaphorical. Brubaker may be
an Eisner-winning comics-writer, but this webseries is lame.
