I usually rabbit on in these reviews about the artwork, and it continues to be amazing - the transformation of Obsession from dragon into a maelstrom of thorns is particularly effective. However, for once the story affected me more than the art. It's quite a quiet story, too - Sissy and Clara, caught in Obsession's grasp and talking to each other about the value and difficulty of forgiveness. I've read this comic several times over the past few months (and finally getting round to logging it here) and each time the end makes me tear up, or nearly. Just beautifully done, and a wonderful conclusion to Clara's story.

A tragically beautiful end to The Rat installment of the Pretty Deadly comics.

You guys, these books keep getting better and better. The depth they’re able to reach in just a few short pages astounds me. And the artwork is some of the best paneling, coloring, and designs in the industry!

Pretty Deadly serves as a decoration to the fact that comics are real art. If anyone tries to tell me otherwise, I’ll just wave this issue in their face and say “Ha! Proved you wrong!”

No but seriously, I cannot wait for the next issue, and the next installment of the Pretty Deadly.
