Ruiz and Parent picked a perfect point to stop this issue. It left the readers invested in Kitty and her story but, it also put us on the edge of our seats. Would Kitty escape the clutches of her traitor friend? Will she survive the series? Will she turn the tables on her publishers? So many questions and so long to wait until the next issue but, I can wait. I think Die Kitty Die is worth it! Read Full Review

Ultimately, this comic strikes me as rather empowering, mocking how the industry treats female characters. This comic's release at this time is particularly fitting, as it explores the notion of a woman being an obstacle to power, influence and money; I doubt Ruiz and Parent had the election season in mind when crafting this story, but it just goes to show how pervasive misogyny is in society.

Subtlety is not a thing in Die Kitty Die, and that's perfectly fine. If anything, it feels like Ruiz and Parent are winking at us through every brightly colored panel. Each character embodies a tired cliche, be it an outrageously curvy vixen or a hopelessly geeky bookstore employee, but the cartoonish look and feel of the pages only add to the fun of the story. If you've ever lamented the relaunch of a beloved character you'll appreciate the industry commentary that's present here. Plus, there's a chance that the character will defeat her publisher's cynicism about comic book readers, and that's something to root for. Read Full Review
