Editorial Reviews:

Back in print! Re-introducing the outrageous story of The Pro in a paperback version of the deluxe hardcover edition. Just when you think Garth Ennis has gone too far, just when you thought no one would go near the idea of the world's first superhero prostitute... here comes The Pro! Plus, in "The Pro Meets the Ho," our plucky heroine faces a super-powered "soiled dove" whose powers of perversion exceed her own!

2 out of 5 stars ho hum

this was pretty weak compared to ennis' other work. there were a few amusing moments but this is skipable. it's not bad but its not something that i'll be re reading anytime soon.

5 out of 5 stars Awsome

If you are a Garth Ennis fan this is a must. This is a hilarious book. I am a true fan boy trust you will not be disappointed.

2 out of 5 stars Not worth it!

Ok, I read the reviews. I am truly stupid for not "reading" the reviews. Really, this book isn't that good. Even for fans of Garth Ennis. Skip it.

This book reads like it was written by a bunch of ten year olds. Now, shame on me for not reading the other reviews that said "this book was written by a bunch of ten year olds." Because that's basically what you're getting. Let's take the premise which is a prostitute gets super powers and comes across the Justice League. That's it.

Yes, I love comic books. Yes, I love Garth Ennis. Yes, I've read the Preacher and The Boys. They're crude at times but still tell a story. This doesn't have much of a story. I'm sorry that I didn't skip it. Unless you're a die-hard fan....

3 out of 5 stars A short Escape

This is not a particularly long or a thought provoking read. The art is OK but ultimately this is a bit of pulp fiction with shock value thrown in to appeal to a teenage male audience. This isnt one of Ennis's best bits of work but it isnt bad for a comic book and it has its funny moments. The Kev series works much better than this. If you came to this book because you like the preacher you may well be dissapointed.

5 out of 5 stars Way Too Funny!

I loved The Pro. What an anti-hero! Garth Ennis is such an awesome and funny writer! I highly recommend this book!
