<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Originally published in single magazine form as 'Pretty Deadly' #1-5"--Indicia.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Kelly Sue DeConnick (<i>Avengers Assemble</i>, <i>Captain Marvel</i>) and Emma Rios (<i>Dr. Strange</i>, <i>Osborn</i>) present the collected opening arc of their surprise-hit series that marries the magical realism of <i>Sandman</i> with the western brutality of <i>Preacher</i>. 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. <p/> It's a perfect match for the gorgeous, dizzying artwork in a sumptuous palette-overlaid panels add intricate choreography to fight scenes, and detailed, whirling splash pages beg for long-lingering looks. Couple that, along with a handful of Eisner nominations, with a multicultural cast of tough-as-nails women who all fight for their own honor, and this is a series to watch out for. - <i>Booklist</i> <p/> It's ambitious and challenging (two qualities that are not often valued, but that probably should be), under a façade of violence and sacrifice. Rio's art is lush and detailed, and is more than capable of keeping up with the far-reaching story. - <i>PW</i> <p/><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>It's a perfect match for the gorgeous, dizzying artwork in a sumptuous palette-overlaid panels add intricate choreography to fight scenes, and detailed, whirling splash pages beg for long-lingering looks.
