Sisters of Sorrow sounds like a great concept on paper. A group of nuns wage a vigilante crusade on criminals in Los Angeles? And it's written by Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter and novelist Courtney Alameda? What's not to love? Unfortunately, the execution proves sorely lacking in this first issue.
One thing readers will notice right off the bat is that the cover is pretty misleading. Despite the gun-toting nun on the cover, the main characters appear to be sisters in a more general sisterhood sense. There's no real religious element to the series (at least not yet), and that saps some of the novelty factor out of the equation already. This wouldn't be a deal-breaker on its own, though. There's still appeal in the idea of a feminist-flavored spin on vigilante stories Death Wish or The Punisher. A decade or two ago, this book would probably fall under the "Bad Girls" umbrella and feature a bunch of scantily clad femme fatales. At least there's an effort to build a more grounded, believable world here.
