It was about Tefe, all grown up. It didn't sell very well, but it has its fans--I bought it after the fact, and liked it, although I'd say it took a few issues to find its feet. It only lasted 20 issues, so it's not hard to collect the whole run. Aside from a few issues with John Constantine (and Swampy himself, if I remember right) there's no particular issues that stand out. It was basically one long story.

It was issue #4 or 5 that really stood out, Tefe was pissed at a family that started a forest fire. You have to see what she decided to do, I thought that issue was one of the best at the time.

I stopped buying it out of boredom after 5 issues. Now I know Vaughan can be a very good writer I'm inclined to give it another chance

The book took a few issues to find its feet, but greatly improved when Giuseppe Cammicoli and Marc Hempl took over the art. By the end of the run, it really seemed like it was heading somewhere, but cancellation stopped all that. The best issues are after Constantine's appearance in #9 or 10 (can't remember)-- a long arc that tied everything together, and let Tefe start to move on.

It's a solid book, but no Y, the Last Man, Ex Machina, or even Runaways, the book it has most in common with.
