A Different Approach.
When the sisters get together there's a lot of squabbling and in-fighting. Violet's the hot-head blonde. Rose is the thoughtful brainy one. Poppy is the married Mother of two. They re-hash old memories. The Deadliest Bouquet interweaves some hints at Mother's past hunting Nazis (the murder weapon is a rare German pistol from that era).
The artwork is stellar. Very clean. I'm always fascinated at how women artists approach sequential art, particularly with youthful attractive female characters as opposed to male artists. Lots more emphasis on poses and clothes, the bodies are rendered as fully in charge of their environment. Men of course focus on the 'giggle' factor, T/A, lips, eyes, etc. But with Carola Borelli you see how the female form can be attractive and positive in a self-assured way, a much more possessive sense.
