For
the second story running, the Angel comic strip revolves
around a young girl.
After
the obligatory flashback scene - the newly-turned Angel meeting
his sister - we're at Angel Investigations, where we learn that
there's someone killing by immolation, and Cordy's vision shows
a young girl.
Since
this is only a one-parter, Dark Horse's blurb pretty much gives
things about what happens, linking the pyrokinetic to a demon
spellcaster.
Not
for the first time in the Angel comics, there's a hint
of child abuse in the relationship between the tragic Bethany
and and her stepfather.
Plot-wise,
things are pretty simplistic given the length of the story.
It also appears that Angel manages to gain access to Philip
Westford's home without his permission.
Artwise
it's nothing to write (or should that be draw?) home about.
Likeness of some of the characters are poor, and if Gunn hadn't
been identified by name I'd never have realised it was him.
Philip Westford looks - and to be honest, acts - like a very
cartoony style, which tends to undermine the whole thing somewhat.
There's also one or two sloppy errors in the lettering.
As
a one-off story, Little Girl Lost is fine. Unlike the
previous story it's not dragged out, but there's no depth to
it and it, too be honest, all feels pretty lightweight. BACK
