Batten down the hatches! On the Caribbean island of Saint Gorda, where a "sensually tropic fantasy" film's being shot, a massive storm approaches, throwing the film production into chaos, just when Bettie's getting her break with a big new role! Now communication's out, everyone's thrown into close quarters...and then, the MURDER...
From writer KARLA PACHECO (Spider-Woman) and artist VINCENZO FEDERICI (Sabrina The Teenage Witch)!
Overall. A pretty good second issue that makes the reader feel pretty much exactly what all the characters are feeling insofar as not being completely in the know about what is going on. I look forward to the third issue in hopes that some clues will be revealed. Read Full Review
Bettie Page continues on pretty well here by throwing a whole lot of stuff at the cast but it's suffering a bit under its own weight. I'm hard-pressed to remember too many scenes with Bettie herself that are distinctive and one of them is that the elephant survived being dropped into the ocean during a hurricane. I damn well better remember that! The book is working a proper island murder mystery story and doing it well but at the moment it's an ensemble piece that doesn't have a strong leading role for Bettie and allows others to really take center stage. Pacheco's script handles things well while Frederici's artwork is fantastic throughout, even if it's all got a tinge of darkness to it with the weather. Read Full Review
