REVIEW: Getting Dizzy #3

Story Thus far:

In the previous issue of Getting Dizzy, a girl named Dizzy was like any other teen just trying to find her place in the community.  Then everything changes when she gets attacked by creature called Negatrixes.  The Negatrixes are from another dimension, who appear to induce misery or feed of off it.  But, Dizzy has now learned that she is the chosen one.  The Burb Defender, meant to combat the Negatrixes.  Now, Dizzy has recruited a team of her new friends for help and a hockey player for mentorship.

In the current issue of Getting Dizzy #3, time is running out for Dizzy to learn the skills necessary to fight the Negatrixes.   Doubt in herself and questioning if she really is the One continues to linger.  Also suspicion of her new friends start to creep in.

Script:

In the current Penultimate issue of Getting Dizzy #3, relies on a clunky setup, and fuzzy emotional disconnects that vary person to person. Admittedly the setup was bewildering, but now that the intent has been clearer trough Forteans’s Skillful use of allegory is actually quite ambitious.

Art:

As for the art, it’s clear from the start that this is meant for a younger audience.  I am just not so sure if this was meant for today’s young generation.  Then again that could give this character some longevity because of the lack of culture- generational markers.  The art team for Getting Dizzy #3 consist of: Celia Moscote colored by Natalia Nesterenko; Jim Campbell, letterer.

Speculation:

Getting Dizzy at current has 0 speculation buzz; however, its potential to get hot relies on other Boom! Studios properties.  For instance it already has had a few books go on to be major motion pictures, but the potential lie in the BRZRKR title, written by Keanu Reeves.

BRZRKR is slated to be an animated project on Netflix. If that is successful I expect speculators to flock to whatever other Boom! Studios Projects to snap them up.

Covers:

GETTING DIZZY #3 (OF 4) : will have four covers: CVR A  Celia Moscote; CVR B  Cara McGee0; CVR C 10 COPY INCV Qistina Khalidah; the CVR D 25 COPY (Virgin) by Qistina Khalidah

3 stars out of 5.  The teen pop art is very decetiful  and conceals a creep mystery, and events that normally would make this a horror comic.
