I agree, since i havn't read any of the Danger Girl comics, i was kinda lost. The artwork is good and solid though. I didn't get any of the signed posters either. I would have really like to get one of those. The CD was pretty good, not something i would listen to over and over again like the Live @ Boom tapes from a few years back, but good. Especially the Advent track. IMHO it is for AO fans only.
