SUMMARY: A professional assassin called Pinstripes sets his sights on Startup! Will her investigation into the murder of a successful publicist end in Startup’s own death?!
COMMENTS: Sitcomics format is that they are all mini-series to be collected into a trade paperback. So 3.3 is the third chapter of the trade paperback. We start off with what happened previously and an introduction to the characters. It is brief but very important if you are picking up a middle issue. Startup is presented like a Flash comic with the costumed speedster taking on the colorful villain. In this case, there is an added element of humor. Smartass Spidy humor. It’s a solid superhero tale in a silver age style. If you think modern comics are too dark and grim, this is exactly what you are looking for.
The back is a short story of the battle between Super Sleepy and a Cry Baby. This is a fun Havey style comic. Another story in a silver age style. In fact if you know what a Harvey style comics is this is the right story for you. It’s cute, funny and silly all at once. This comic is a straightforward superhero comic with a  cute backup story. It is good for all-ages, and if you read comics way back when, your in for a real treat as it transports you to a time when comics were fun.
