I think Beautiful Killer was the first time I had encountered Phil Noto's art, and I quickly became a big fan. It's got a "60's mod" retro vibe to it, but I'm most impressed with the clean lines of the art.

The story itself mixes a little of the superhero genre with a classic spy story. Brigit Cole now follows in her parents' shoes: both were top spies for Great Britain, but her father was injected with a super-serum. This gives Brigit albino skin and the ability to deflect bullets. It's a fairly predictable storyline dealing with avenging her parents' death and tracking down various bad guys to do it. There are a few spots that get a little too "talky" but there are other places where the art speaks for itself.
