Over at the news site Comics for Sinners, you can read my review of Pirouette #1, currently available from Black Mask Studios. Written by Mark L. Miller and illustrated by Carlos Granda—the creative team behind Grimm Fairy Tales Presents: The Jungle Book—it’s the first in a four-issue horror miniseries about a teenaged female clown who dreams of running away from the circus because of the physical and psychological abuses heaped on her by her fellow carnies. For those expecting a bad girl–style comic, considering the duo’s past work for T&A publisher Zenescope Entertainment, Pirouette should come as something of a surprise—at least in this first issue—given its lack of seminude females and its tonal similarity to Ray Bradbury’s classic novel, Something Wicked This Way Comes. Head over to C4S to see what I’m talking about!
