bandherbooks 's review for:

Pretty Deadly, Vol. 1: The Shrike by Kelly Sue DeConnick
5.0

A fantastic mix of Stephen King's The Gunslinger, The Sandman by Neil Gaiman, classic Westerns, and with a great dash of mythology all its own. Pretty Deadly's art took my breath away and kept me enthralled while trying to figure out the fate of Sissy the little vulture-costumed girl. I was inspired by the sheer amount of strong women figures, and the diversity of the cast. Absolutely wonderful. Image Comics is really knocking it out of the park with its offerings. More please!
