Pro Review:

By Peter Silvestro
An unprecedented solo story for Pat (at least in the comics—I DIED YESTERDAY appeared in the pulps) is a fun and fast-paced adventure, aided by Pat’s dryly humorous narration. The art is livelier and more vibrant than anything else from this publisher. In an odd decision the art is shared among several pencilers and inkers and this, I think, hurts the tale a bit with Pat’s appearance shifting from section to section. For the record, my favorite artist is Scott Benefiel, whose pencils open and close the tale: his Pat slightly resembles Lucille Ball and contributes mightily to the screwball edge. As usual the colors are inconsistent, with Pat going from normal to bronze to yellow and back in the course of the issue. My only real quibble is the cover, which would be nice for a dark noir story but makes Pat look a bit too slutty with the disheveled hair and low-cut blouse.

Score: 3 (out of 5)
