Rucka, known for writing some of the strongest women in comics (Tara Chase in Queen & Country, Renee Montoya in Gotham Central), takes on a very different kind of character here. Veil is a mysterious woman whom men find irresistible. From the moment she leaves a rat-infested subway, men start fighting (often violently) for her attention. A man named Dante is able to resist her influence better than the others, and takes her in after witnessing several supernatural creatures fighting to control her. These monsters have a lot to do with Veil’s true story. The story’s scornful view of objectification is perfectly summarized by Dante’s reference to Veil’s demonic boss as “just another fucking pimp.” The book is sexualized but never feels exploitative, thanks to Rucka’s deft hand and gritty artwork from Fejzula (Nephilim). The jarring colors, from Fejzula with Aljosa Tomic, make a particularly strong contribution to the unsettling nature of this erotic nightmare that leaves readers thinking about the world’s exploitation of women.

Heart disease is the #1 killer. However, traditional heart disease protocols¿with their emphasis on lowering cholesterol¿have it all wrong. Emerging science is showing that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat/high-carb diets and serious, side-effect-causing statin drugs, obscure the real causes of heart disease. Even doctors at leading institutions have been misled for years based on creative reporting of research results from pharmaceutical companies intent on supporting the $31-billion-a-year cholesterol-lowering drug industry.
The Great Cholesterol Myth reveals the real culprits of heart disease, including:
- Inflammation
- Fibrinogen
- Triglycerides
- Homocysteine
- Belly fat
- Triglyceride to HCL ratios
- High glycemic levels
Bestselling health authors Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., and Stephen Sinatra, M.D. give listeners a four-part strategy based on the latest studies and clinical findings for effectively preventing, managing, and reversing heart disease, focusing on diet, exercise, supplements, and stress and anger management.
