Janine is ostensibly Steven St. Croix's sexy comic strip character, but he farms out the creation of the strip to overworked stringers like Jill Kelly and Ian Daniels. But it's Daniels' blood falling on his drawing as he dies that brings Janine's character to life, and she and Kelly plot to expose St. Croix's treachery.

All of the sex in this movie steams, even if none quite rises to the award-nomination level. Janine's lickfests with Kelly and Madelyn Knight provide the hottest action. Look for inserted fingers, scissor position and lots of kissing. Missy is in fine form in her three-way with St. Croix and Nick Knight —Knight's light spanking really turns her on— but she's edged out here by the Krista Maze/St. Croix opener. Maze may blow St. Croix, but her eyes are centered on the viewer, delivering maximum impact. A too-short Daniels/Bridgette Monroe fuck provides the only anal action.

The non-sex action is often listless and unsure, but high-quality sexual acting pulls this one through with a "definitely stock" recommendation.
