Pretty Deadly Volume 2: The Bear

"This new chapter of Kelly Sue DeConnick and Emma Ríos’ supernatural epic jumps forward in time — from the sprawling Old West to the claustrophobic confines of a World War I foxhole and the war-torn devastation of the battlefield — while still retaining its gritty, gothic Western atmosphere. Blurring the lines between realism and mysticism, DeConnick ruminates on life and death, heroism and the grisly violence of war by further unfurling the fantastical world inhabited by Sissy, the female embodiment of Death. Rendered in breathtaking abstraction by Ríos and gorgeously colored by Jordie Bellaire, Pretty Deadly is the kind of compelling and layered series that rewards multiple readings, if only so you can linger over every imaginative page."
