Hit Me
A high-octane crime thriller from Christa Faust (Bad Mother, Redemption) and Priscilla Petraites (Chariot). Lulu has a very unique profession: She gets paid by the bruise. When she is witness to the execution of one of her regular clients, she escapes into the night with a briefcase filled with diamonds and a pack of killers on her trail. Navigating the dark underbelly of decaying, early-90’s Atlantic City, one step ahead of her pursuers, Lulu must call upon every one of her street-born instincts and underworld connections in what will be the longest – and possibly last – night of her life.

That was different! 4.7 🌟
January 23, 2023
Lulu loves pain; loves the way it makes her feel sexually and emotionally, yet she's able to turn off the on-switch when the need arises, having developed a high tolerance for pain she's a pro at controlling her body's desires and stimulus.
She earns a buck pleasuring clients by allowing them to inflict pain on her. Don't misinterpret her cause, Lulu is far from a damsel in distress, this is her occupation chosen by own volition. Accompanied by her trusty puppy eyed bodyguard Danny, Lulu's latest job is for a repeat client, Mr Tak. On face value the set-up is the same; a private room in a hotel, body guard with a line of sight thanks to some hidden cameras, the only thing different about this is the shootout which takes place as soon as Lulu opens the door to the suite. Oh, and the bag of diamonds on the floor, yeah, that's different.
HIT ME is high octane action mixed with a heady dose of Faust's pitch black noir. The underworld meets the secretive world of sex head on in a bloody collision of plasma and body fluids as Lulu tries to make sense of a crime she really should have no part in. Readers familiar with the Angel Dare novels will eat this up in a single sitting (as I did), while readers looking for a story with a unique and totally kick ass protagonist will leave with a belly full of satisfaction. Fingers crossed this isn't the last we've seen of Lulu.

This book review is for Brendan. He doesn’t even know this book exists, but he’ll be glad I associated him with this review.
The premise is a prostitute who specializes in BDSM shows up to a job to find her John being robbed; both the thief and the John get shot and die, but a bag of diamonds is left behind amongst the carnage, obviously the objective of the robbery. What’s a working stiff to do, but take the bag and go on the run.
It’s quite a generic story (similar to No Country For Old Men and countless other stories) but with many unnecessary BDSM scenes. This is particularly felt in the fourth issue. Accepting that the author set out to force as much BDSM as possible without completely derailing her crime story, the story is competently told.

HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME.
So this is about a sex worker who uses her endurance of being hit and abused to make money. It's pretty insightful in that sense, never knew much about this sex and that kink. And the story moves extremely fast, the pacing almost jarring at times, but plenty of great scenes and while a bit cliche hits all the boxes for me with violence, sex, and fun. Overall a nice surprise and Christa continues to push out solid content from bad mother to this.

a dirty good time
Love good crime stories ? Love hot naked girls ? Love humor ? Love bondage ? Well do I have a story for you ! Really well done thriller that I only took off a star because 1) I wish it would have been a lil longer and 2) the story sometimes holds back on how explicit it will be . Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying it should be hardcore porn , but in one chapter it shows all the nipples and fun bits , then in the next , everything is “strategically hidden “ behind word bubbles or scenery . That always bothers me cause if you’re going to do an adult story about sex and death, show the sex and death ! Also special mention must be made of the respect shown to sex workers and members of bdsm . Give this story a try !

If you’re looking for a Kinky, sex positive, NSFW comic that has a strong woman lead and cast, here you go!
If you’re looking for body diversity, it might not be for you. I saw most of the cast as Asian, though someone else mentioned the main character maybe being white. The women mainly look the same, there isn’t really a sexy plus sized girl in the story, which I think would’ve gotten to that 5 star ranking. Overall, it’s a good story, it could’ve done with some diversity, and the plot felt a little rushed, having only spanned 5 issues. But, it was funny and sexy.

A surprising walk in the dark
I am such a naive little innocent. I had my doubts about this book. The art was great, so I thought, "Why not give it a try?" The narrative turned out to be so enticing I literally couldn't put it down. Based upon the notes by one of the collaborators, I'll have to give Christa Faust's "Peepland" a try.

I was onboard when the author stated in the back of the first issue that she and the illustrator wanted to bring a more realistic portrayal of the world of sex work without exploitative art that once again centered the male gaze. By issue #3, I'd lost that message with the sheer amount of unnecessary upskirt scenes (literally just walking into a morgue), only showing one very stereotypical comic book body-type for women (dancers and sex workers of all types exist), and only showing two non-white women (who don't even speak).
It's also unnecessary to continue using racial slurs against Asians -- once is enough to show a character is racist, anything more than that is just strange in 2022.
Other than that, the noir-style writing and plot has been tropey and is just getting old at this point. DNF.
Excerpt from an interview with Christa Faust about Hit Me ~
“It’s always been important to me to center the voices of marginalized women in my work,” says Faust. “Professional ‘subs’ – that is to say, women who get paid to be on the receiving end of BDSM kink sessions — are doubly marginalized within the already marginalized group of sex workers. Everyone loves a Dominatrix, because it’s a fun escapist fantasy to imagine tying and beating powerful men. It gets more complicated when a woman gets paid to be tied and beaten. Even more so when she is a hardcore masochist who loves pain and also enjoys those same activities in her private life.”
Hit Me explores a more brutal side of sex work and the boundaries Lulu has in place to protect herself and earn a living. As a professional Dominatrix and a lifestyle pervert, Faust has sessioned with, filmed with, and had intimate relationships with women just like Lulu.” Without exception, she says, women like Lulu are some of the strongest women she knows, yet when we see them portrayed on film or in fiction, “they are almost always seen as pathetic victims without agency who need to be rescued. A man who can endure a lot of pain is seen as a cool action hero. Why not a woman?”

May 10, 2023Christa Faust's introduction talks about wanting "to center the authentic and unvarnished voices of sex workers and lifestyle perverts", which is commendable enough, and which Hit Me does well, while keeping the sex, violence and combinations of the two going at a sufficient pace never to feel too much like a primer for those misled by Fifty Shades. But really, the simpler pitch would be: you know how noir protagonists tend to get beaten up a lot? Why not do a noir story where the lead is someone who already gets beaten up for fun and profit? Priscilla Petraites' art sells it all with a suitably sleazy sheen, recalling everyone from Eduardo Risso to Fiona Staples in particular scenes, without sacrificing coherence.

tbh i woulda read a comic about a lot of these characters that didn't even have a murder mystery aspect to it. the protagonist is a sex worker, a self-described "professional masochist" who "gets paid by the bruise." honestly? i can take a lot of pain, but not like she can, otherwise i'd probably immediately pivot to that career. (now, if i could get paid to get tied up...)
the thing i really love about the way she's written is that i'm someone who really is a masochist irl and, yeah, i 100% buy everything she says. she describes specific kinds of pain she prefers (more thuddy, less stingy) and things like that in terms that had me nodding along in understanding. on the rare occasions that i've been lucky enough to encounter characters who are masochists in media i consume, they're almost always side characters and the way they're written never feels relatable at all. so this was such a great surprise.
the other character i loved was sadist lo, a super dommy enby that lulu books a session with to get information from late in the story. i um. yeah. i crushed on them pretty hard. and loved seeing all the bondage gear in their studio, not to mention the throne that dominates the room.
... ahem. i also liked lulu's "guard dog," he was a really sweet boy, and i'm really glad they're both smart enough to know that they aren't a good match even though he's full of puppy love for her, but she's also willing to risk her life on multiple occasions to try to save him. just. yes. give me complicated relationships that are still healthy & fiercely loyal. i love that shit.
and on top of all the awesome character work (and kink, fuck, it's so nice to read kinky shit created by actual kinky people, i need more of this), there's a great murder mystery plot. i love how lulu's kinks & experiences as a badass sex worker really help her navigate this, but she's very explicit about the fact that being in these situations is not hot for her. like, it's not hard to imagine that she's fantasized about things adjacent to the things she finds herself dealing with--the gods know i have--but that doesn't mean that you find it hot when you're in real danger with people who genuinely do not care about your well-being.
so, yeah! tl;dr, this comic kicks so much ass, and i would just love it if y'all would recommend stuff that hits a similar spot!

The art is splendid. I'm pretty much always impressed by female artists. Not so much by female writers. This comic has both. The main character keeps tittilating the reader about sleeping around with men and women, but those damn gangsters get in the way of her fun. Just like a woman, she finds she can't not care about the male sidekick who loves her like a simp and a half. How is all of this a difficult read?
Lulu is a 'professional pain slut'. She has business cards and everything. Each violent act from her clients is paid for in advance. Her friend and trainer Danny is worried about her well-being. He is also in love with her, but she doesn't want to corrupt him. When Lulu gets to her client Tak's room, he is being threatened by a stranger with a gun. Danny, who was monitoring the room via the security cameras, jumps to keep Lulu safe. She shields her eyes from the events, but wakes to Tak and the armed guy dead. She recovers a bunch of diamonds from Tak. Danny is shot in the thigh, so Lulu tends to that. Surely, there is more to this story than the shock element.

That's gotta hurt...a little
Getting paid by the bruise is a lovely way to say the main gal of the story named Lulu allows others to assault her for money. When a girl has an urge to feel a pain what better a profession to get into right? Well you can imagine with this sorta prostitution and various kinks that show up in the book that it will not be for more sensitive readers even if there was not a crime element involved. It also makes me wonder (spoiler to avoid spoiling a scene in the book)
That said many of the characters are interesting and even occasionally bizarre like what I might find at a "Rocky Horror Picture Show" party and the action is really impressive as Lulu sorta learns some important things about herself while doing what she must to survive. However, for me at least, this book is one of those I tried it and probably will never read again so I am glad I was able to borrow it on ComiXology. If you have a subscription and are curious it won't hurt to try it for yourself. Well, maybe a little. :)

Young BDSM sex worker with a high-tolerance for pain finds herself being chased by gangsters over some missing diamonds. It's good, pure pulp-fiction, much better than other books I've read set in similar kink-prostitution-positive worlds such as "SFSX (Safe Sex), Vol. 1: Protection."
With as much sex and nudity as this contains, the artist did a great job of NOT using the male gaze and keeping it sexy but not exploitative. Not easy to do.
As for the plot, it's typical noir with ruthless scumbags and a heroine who is selfish but with a moral compass. I enjoyed all the wild characters and the action. I hope there are more volumes.

Hit Me
2022
Graphic Novel
Rating: 3.5/5
Hit Me is a fiercely engaging and utterly captivating story that blends crime, noir, and fantasy. Christa Faust, known for her sharp writing and unapologetically gritty narratives, delivers a story that is as morally complex as it is thrilling. It’s an original crime story, combining a subversive caper that takes a familiar plot and infuses it with unexpected setting.
At the heart of Hit Me is the protagonist Lulu, whose lifestyle and unique career choice as a professional submissive, she gets paid to be spanked, hit, and slapped. Faust’s portrayal of the character is deeply layered, capturing the raw intensity of someone caught between personal demons and the need to survive in an unforgiving world. Her character’s inner turmoil, the choices she makes, and the consequences that follow are what truly anchor the story, making it feel deeply human despite the dark and dangerous setting.
What stands out most is the complexity of the characters. Faust has the ability to make even the most flawed individuals feel real and relatable. Faust doesn’t shy away from exploring tough themes of power, vulnerability, and survival, making this story both a page-turning thriller and a fly on the wall investigative view on the darkest fantasies of humanity.
In a market flooded with superhero comics and generic narratives, Hit Me stands out as a bold, mature work that showcases the unique voice and skill of Christa Faust. It’s a little episodic for my liking, as each new issue is yet another exploration of Zulu’s lifestyle, as she uses this to find her friend. The finale succumbs to predictable storytelling, but the narrative up until this point certainly offered something new.

(Be advised: this graphic novel is intended for mature readers. It contains droves of sex related themes, bondage and other BDSM references (implicit and explicit), violence and foul language.)
That being said, this is a fast paced, non-stop action, noir marvel in book form.
I didn't know this (5 issues) series existed and even if I did, I would raise an eyebrow for this kind of story/theme. But hey, curiosity got the best of me. Aftre reading the first few pages I forgot everything else.
The story is highly compelling from the beginning and the rollercoaster doesn't stop till the end.
The art is top notch, very consistent, the characters are very diverse and interesting (including the main figure, Lulu, who also acts as in-story narrator), and the plot just keeps you craving for more.
All in all, I highly recommend this one.
(If you love the "Hard Case Crime" comics series, you don't want to miss this one, trust me.)

So walked into this blind no clue what these comics were about Just saw the covers and went could be fun maybe it'll be like sunshine. Not exactly like sunshine but fun and interesting BDSM noir mystery type thing. Almost reminds me of the Killer wore leather novel by Laura Antoniuo.

Over the top sexy and fun!
An unlikely blend of S&M, gambling, murder, and romance, and yet, Christa Faust and Priscilla Petraites manage to make Hit Me a fun, quick paced adventure!

Well, I won't be giving this graphic (and I do mean graphic) novel to my sister's retirement community lending library! But if you can turn a blind eye (hard to do given the graphic imagery) to Lulu's raunchy "profession," this was a pretty good action book.

Interesting read
Christa Faust is as fascinating as her characters, and Lulu is one of her best. Intriguing story, fantastic characters, and good primer for BDSM. Hope Lulu has more stories to share.

—Oh, where are those diamonds from?
—Ey, you, bring back my diamonds or I'll kill your boyfriend!
—Don't hear him, Lulu! Run!
And that's all.
And a lot of nude scenes, of course.

Christa Faust and Prescilla Petraites deliver an intense and honest graphic thriller set in the world of kink that consistently feels like it comes from a female perspective.

Genuinely Great
I've read one other book with similar elements but this one ramps it up a title bit. I wish there was more.

Nice to see this scene handled artfully and with insight. The dark underworld setting makes dor a good dramatic tale

To much deviancy for a good crime book, to much crime for a good spank story.

Lulu is a professional submissive. But on the night she finds one of her regular clients dead in his high-roller hotel room, a bag full of diamonds on the bed, she is forced to become an amatuer sleuth to save her own life (and her friend's - a friend she is definately not in love with). She must use all her street knowledge and all her underworld contacts to find answers.
High action, bloody, and a look into a world I am rather glad I have no idea exists. Here's a noir detective who IS the femme fatale AND doesn't mind so much when the bad guys knock her around. Faust works to write characters that defy stereotypes of the industry. The art is sharp despite the gritty, dark atmosphere and Petraites conveys action well.
