Clown Fatale #3

Released by: Dark Horse Comics
Release on: January 15, 2014

The surviving clown gals - having now decided to throw in their lot with their new, murderous life - head into the job local crime boss Talbot game them with full viciousness. They storm into Mexican cartel kingpin Ortiz' place, intent on leaving none alive. But when they come across two kids hiding in the place, they change their tune and seal their fate…

Meanwhile, in the nearby hospital, the female leader of the Russian circus gang that was supposed to have been given that contract job is coming out of her coma, looking for revenge. This matches up nicely to Talbot getting the news that the clowns didn't murder everyone in the household and, so, he sends his thugs to finish them off.

The clowns are trying to come down off their murderous high back at the circus. Tina decides to get high which is unfortunate as Talbot's thugs show up them and blow her away. Down now to two members, the gals get to killing again and easily dispatch these goons. Aya takes stunned circus-worker Billy back to his trailer for some naughtiness while Chloe tries to relax but is interrupted by a disgruntled Russian…

Victor Gischler's simple-but-fairly-entertaining story continues its deliberately reckless pace here, with big action pieces punctuated by soft, quiet moments that really lets one catch their breath. Maurizio Rosenzweig's artwork continues to shine through here, being the centerpiece of the exploitational, violent story as well. The series has been a light-hearted, fun distraction and is a nice change of pace from serious, introspective stories currently filling comic book racks.
