Die Kitty Die Volume 2: Hollywood or Bust by Dan ParentMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
When a movie based on the comics based on Kitty Ravencraft's life goes into production, Kitty goes to Hollywood to star. Too bad person or persons unknown want her dead...
I enjoyed Die Kitty Die Volume 4: Starstruck quite a bit so I picked this up from Dan Parent's website.
Once again, Dan Parent & Fernando Ruiz, two Archie mainstays, unite to produce something that would never get published at Archie. Kitty's second adventure is full of action, comedy, cleavage, and more cleavage as she endures hardships unnumbered to see her movie get maid.
There are lots of parodies of Harvey characters in this, like Hot Stuff, Casper, and Richie Rich. Classic TV shows like Bewitched, I Love Lucy, and Star Trek also go through the wringer. The ending comes way out of left field and sets up the third volume, Die Kitty Die Volume 2: Hollywood or Bust. There are tons of bonus materials by Parent, Ruiz, and others.
The artwork in this is a couple notches above what the pair does in Archie books. I guess that's what happens when you work on a labor of love at your own pace.
