It's la dolce vita for Bettie! Beautiful Bettie has been cast as the lead of a film shooting in Rome, but before she can experience the sights and sounds of Italy, shady-looking thugs try to kidnap her! Why? Well, Bettie happens to be the spitting image of another woman...a woman who's in BIG trouble with trouble-making types! Can Bettie negotiate her way through a madcap adventure of mistaken identity and star-crossed love, Italian-style?
This isn't a bad story, but I can't help but feel that the character of Beauregard is getting a lot more attention than the titular character who seems to be a lot less streetwise than previous incarnations of her character that have been published by Dynamite. Hopefully, we see Bettie evolve in future issues because right now she doesn't seem to be the same character that I have read in previous books as Beauregard seems to be doing all the investigation.

Andolfo establishes a cozy adventure for Bettie in the first issue of her fifth series with Dynamite Entertainment. The Queen of the Pinups continues to be a pleasant and engaging character to hang out with for 24 pages. From form to color to plot, its all so well-constructed that it scarcely seems to matter that there really isnt anything new being explored. The depth of the color aside, the story and its artistic rendering wouldnt seem entirely out of place in a mid-20th century issue of Millie the Model. Thats not a bad thing. The contemporary shading on a retro comic feels more or less perfect. Read Full Review
