Though this series is listed as, and was published as, a discreet series, it's quite obvious from my utter confusion over the narrative that Razor really is an ongoing series that is divided into what look like different mini-series. I have a bit of a problem with this. If you're going to market something as a mini-series, it should be possible to follow the narrative without having to have read too much of the character's previous adventures. Otherwise, why not simply list this as a continuation of the ongoing series? One of the answers to this question is obviously economic. A new #1 issue is going to sell much better than a #23 issue. A #1 also gives the option of variant covers and large-scale promotion. So if a title is starting to founder a bit, I can see a publisher deciding that a new story line deserves a new series. But at least give us a "Previously in..." section on the inside cover or something. There's some heavy-handed exposition captions, but they don't really give us the background for the overarching story that is necessary for proper understanding of what's going on in the comic.
That said, we get to see a razor-clad bondage girl fight an angel with a sword in this issue, which is not a bad thing. And Rick Lyon's art is such an improvement over Jude Millien's.
More to follow.
