The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of PIROUETTE
#2 from Black Mask Studios. The story is by Mark L. Miller, with art by Carlos
Granda, colors by El Comic En Linea Foundation, and lettering is by Jim
Campbell.
The circus has
arrived in Lima and entertaining the crowd as usual. All the while, Pirouette
has two missions: pickpocketing the crowd for Duke and (hopefully) locating her
birth parents. Brassy, who saw Piroette’s parents leave her all those years
ago, may have identified them from the several photos she stole. Seeing a chance to run away and finally meet
her family, Pirouette is allowed to join the other clowns for the “Clown
Parade.” Will she finally escape the nightmare of a life she has lived? Has she
finally found her parents? If so, will they accept her back in their lives?
This is a different type of series, but it has been a
very interesting read. Pirouette is a strong, young female character who has
endured much, but has an incredible spirit that won’t be broken. Mark L. Miller
and Carlos Granda a beautiful, yet dark tale; it’s very much a modern day fairy
tale.
PIROUETTE #2 is in stores now, or available for ordering
at www.blackmaskstudios.com.
