DISCUSSION

\\n

PRETTY DEADLY VOLUME 1: THE SHRIKE\\n
Writer: Kelly Sue DeConnick\\n
Artist: Emma Rios\\n
Publisher: Image Comics\\n
Cover Price: $9.99\\n
KELLY SUE DeCONNICK (Avengers Assemble, Captain Marvel) and EMMA R\\xcdOS (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.
