I thought it was a fantastic issue. The nip slip is whatever. Remender and Tocchini aren't shy of being provocative in this book. At least 4/5 for me. Maybe even a 4.5

3 1/2 stars? Blasphemy, it is an easy 4, if not 4 1/2.

That said, the naked boob window that appears when Della is injured was quite an unwelcome detail. It repeatedly took me out of the scene. "Low" has never been a particularly realistic book when it comes to the human form, from the seemingly eternally young Stel to the barely dressed Tajo, but those choices at least added to the world's clear aesthetic. The boob window here does nothing of the sort, and I wish it had been left out.

Pfft. That scene was everything I ever wanted from a comic book fight scene but was too embarrassed to vocalize. It made me care about the character more. The whole fight, I kept thinking "Please don't let this pretty girl die. Or ever change her outfit again."
