Rating: A

Have you ever just had one of those days? Anita is having one for sure. Two different people want to use her animating skills in order to raise their spouses from the dead. However, neither one of them wants to do it the healthy way and are willing to pay a lot of money for Anita to perform. The money is irrelevant to Anita, and she is bearing witness to monstrous behavior and wants none of it. What happens when someone stops being polite and takes what Anita loves most in the world in order to get what it wants?

While I am glad that I didn’t pay full hardcover price for this story, I am glad that I didn’t skip it either. Anita is learning to master her own powers, however when threatened it becomes a dangerous game and those who don’t know will learn quickly. In Flirt, we learn what is important to Anita, and who is important to her. Her core being.

It was nice being taken back into Anita’s animating, if only to be reminded that she is still her own person and she still causes problems on her own without the benefit of it being because she’s attached to Jean-Claude. Anita will forever be my hero not only because she has overcome what she fears most, but she also knows how to keep whats hers and kick butt while doing it.
