Pretty Deadly, Vol. 3: The Rat by Emma Ríos, Kelly Sue DeConnick

laurendubs's review against another edition

4.0

My least favorite of the Pretty Deadly series but only because it ended on a cliffhanger, and I doubt there will be a fourth volume any time soon.

3.75 - loved the first 4 and the art. Was easier to follow while still being flowy. Hated the ending, it was meta but still felt like a cop out, I wish they had continued into a longer narrative. My overall critic of pretty deadly is there doesn’t feel like a longer running conflict or issue to keep the story running. I probably won’t continue reading.

The noir style of this one was more up my alley (I do enjoy the creators’ playing with different comic genres though, can’t lie). 

I also enjoyed their toying with the noir genre here re: Clara’s story.
