155. PITT vol 1 #7 ... Image ... Dale Keown

For those of you buying from the back issue bins (I don't think there's a trade for this volume), you are lucky as you are spared the earlier challenge we regular monthly followers had because I remembered that even with issue 7, the schedule for PITT was far from regular. We had no idea if it will come out in next 6 weeks, 2 months or even 6 months. Yup, that's how bad it was!

But you know what? Every time an issue comes out, it's always well worth the wait. The only problem was that the artwork took center stage and thus, the 22 pages or so never felt enough because a read even admiring the artwork would be like 10 minutes or so. Thus most of us make a point of reading the multiple pages of letter columns. Hehehe!

So issue continues right off where issue 6 left off

We have PITT teaming up with some operatives from a covert arm called Axiom where Pitt is trying to find those who have kidnapped his human-link named Timmy while Axiom is looking for their missing agent Rai-kee and Rai-kee? She is looking for her police partner!

And this entire sequence takes place in a frozen wasteland so Dale gets to show off how good he is as an artist even when the landscape is so barren of details. Between him and the colorist, the work is just awesome

Naturally being a PITT comic, there are action scenes when they encountered those who kidnapped the missing people while another subplot involving PITT's family develops closer to fruition

So all in, it's a vital part of the ongoing saga. Almost flawless output once again from Dale

Ratings: 8/10
