Thena Khole and Cody Blue are among the universe’s most wanted felons.

But when both women are betrayed by their crews, the bandits 0nly have one thing on their minds: REVENGE.Collects issues 1-5.
LIBRARY JOURNAL -- Cody Blue is a criminal mastermind whose latest scheme-hiring all of the most effective members of the most successful criminal gangs across the galaxy to assist her in a series of heists-seems foolproof, until they betray her and leave her for deadThena Khole is a vicious hand-to-hand fighter smitten with a con man named Viggo Lust, with whom she pulls a series of schemes until she's abandoned and arrested. When both women are sentenced to serve in a penal colony inside a 100-mile-long crustacean drifting through space, they become fast friends, quickly escape, and set out for vengeance. Millar (Sharkey the Bounty Hunter) has built his career on making simple, tried-and-true-premises seem fresh and fun, and illustrator Scalera (Black Science. Vol. 9: No Authority but Yours) proves an excellent collaborator, as the two set a classic crime plot in an intergalactic society heavily influenced by the fashion and culture of Earth in the 1980s.
VERDICT Watching Cody and Thena wreak havoc is a total blast in this fast-paced, Day-Glo romp.

Wanted starred Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy. Kick-Ass stars actor Nicolas Cage.
In addition to WANTED and KICK-ASS, Millar has revamped the X-Men, launched a number one Spider-Man title, brought Captain America into the 21st Century and made Superman a communist.
