Pretty Deadly Volume 1

"The Western genre is a veritable myth factory, and writer Kelly Sue DeConnick and artist Emma Ríos are making the most of it. The first volume of their Pretty Deadly series layers the detached life-and-death surrealism of Greek legends over the sweeping landscapes and grittily human towns of our shared cinematic memory. The art alternates scratchy chaos and arresting tableaux, and the crisscrossing stories, built on other stories and folded within yet more stories, become a dream-logic commentary on the West’s construction of its own mythology."
