MINISERIES FINALE
Clara speaks.
The finale issue of "The Rat" story arc-set in the classic Golden Age of Hollywood-and the newest installment in the popular mythic fantasy series.
"The Rat" is the midway point in the PRETTY DEADLY series, with upcoming volumes including the fourth story arc, "The Butterfly," which will look backward to reveal Alice's origins, and the fifth story arc, which will push the series to its conclusion in the Great Depression.
In a finale that is both an ending and a beginning, this comic does not disappoint. In the same way that Citizen Kane is a masterclass in the art of Cinema, Pretty Deadly is a masterclass in Comic Book Storytelling. Read Full Review

Pretty Deadly: The Rat #5 is the solemn swansong of the mini-series and with it, a high point has been reached. The poetry and poignancy of this series have never been more lucidly on display. Artistry is the focus and motivation behind the writing and the visuals which leads to the final product being a work of pure art. For five issues this story has shown that this team has their best in front of them and, with more Pretty Deadly scheduled to come, comic fans are in for a treat. But, for now, this stands as the absolute testament to the beauty offered by this series. Read Full Review
