Anyone tried Virgin Comics?

Has anyone tried the new series from Virgin comics. Having read the first issues of all three initial series they don't feel like Marvel or DCU books, maybe a little Vertigo-esque or Vertigo-lite. The mythology also ahas a different feel to traditional US comics. Anyone else tried these?

No.

Oh, wait... is this a trick question?

"Anyone tried Virgin Comics?"
No, but I hear you only get to try them ONCE!

nope, I gave my free copy away, paged through it, I do not want to get involved with another company right now, my comic $$ is tight enough as it is, though when the big V comes back, I wont have a choice

So far we've had Devi 1 and 2, Sadhu 1 and Snakewoman 2 (although my comics for last week are still at my LCS so there may be another issue of Snakewoman).

Great. Another set of books my LCS isn't ordering.

I got the preview book, liked the art work... story didn't blow me away though...

I read the preview book given away at the chi con.
I applaud the concept, but I don't care about it. Probably won't be buying them unless something really fascinating happens with the universe.

Read 'em all... only like Devi out of them all.

Not too keen on the spreading of the Indian religion through comics but whatever floats yer boat.

The art in Devi was very nice, not consistent throughout but pretty enough to look at. Kind of reminds me of Witchblade though.

I felt Devi was in some ways the most comic-booky of the three. Sadhu was very...slow. I enjoy the premise of snakewoman (destined to kill all those nagas without knowing it).

Closest thing I would get to that is using my left hand.
