Pretty Deadly Vol. 1: The Shrike
| Writer | Kelly Sue DeConnick |
| Artist | Emma Ros |
| Paperback: | Apr 30, 2014, $9.99 |
KELLY SUE DeCONNICK (Avengers Assemble, Captain Marvel) and EMMA RÃOS (Dr. Strange, Osborn) present the collected opening arc of their surprise-hit series that marries the magical realism of Sandman with the western brutality of Preacher. Death's daughter rides the wind on a horse made of smoke and her face bears the skull marks of her father. Her origin story is a tale of retribution as beautifully lush as it is unflinchingly savage.

Everything throughout the entire 5 issues just looked gorgeous. Rios has a way of choreographing fight scenes that makes everything just look like you've seeing it for the first time. Smoke swirls around combatants, swords slash through the air with meaning, characters dance around the pages, and no small detail is ever overlooked. When you add the colors in from Jordie Bellaire, it creates more
