I received an Arc of Purr Evil by Mirka Andolfo and Laura Braga, which hit stands on July 26. The comic follows a mother and daughter, Rita and Deb, on the run from nefarious forces. They’re currently holed up in a baording house run by a man who is beginning to suspect there’s something more going on with his tenants than they are letting on. He may also have a connection to the woman, though that remains to be seen. To make matters more complicated his son has developed a relationship with Deb, which, it turns out, puts their lives in danger. There’s a lot of set up in this first issue (we still don’t know what’s up with the ghost cats) but it’s all very intriguing and well done. It’s chock full of murder and dark arts and rock n roll and I am on board for more. Teens and up for this one.

The art is gorgeous but I was a bit underwhelmed by the story. I am intrigued but I think my expectations were for something a bit different from the cover which is on me. I’m still excited to see where the story goes! And to see the cats come into the story.

Visually stunning! I love Mirka Andolfo's Art.

We're off to a great start. I can't wait for the next installment. It looks so different from Sweet Paprika.

[Leslie Carnahan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Ehhhh. I felt like the story was a bit forced to be something it's not. And the art was very average. Not something I would continue to read. A shame because it looked great in previews.

The lack of Cats (evil or otherwise) in #1..makes me nervous..
However I like the characters and have faith in the characters
