Image Comics Presents: Pretty Deadly #1

Here we are again with an off the wall book that normally you may skip over, but I implore you do not! Pretty Deadly is a book written and drawn by a female team.

Kelly Sue Deconnick brings you a script that will take you places no current book will and her partner in crime Emma Rios has art that is raw yet graphic to draw you in.

The story is set in the old west and is about Ginny, a little girl that is the child of death himself and a young girl named Beauty. Beauty’s story is told in the first few pages and is pretty graphic as she was raised to be a courtesan and longed for death. He came to claim her himself and fell in love. Death finally granted his love her wish but left him with a child, Ginny. Death raised Ginny to be a reaper of vengeance, a hunter of men who sinned. Through the book you assume Ginny is a certain young one; however Ginny’s true self is shown towards the end of the book.

Now there is some graphic nature to this book in a brothel and so with that said I will rate this book PG-13. If you like a western with a twist check out this book, and not only try something new but help support the women in the industry! With a $3.99 tag and 32 pages you cannot beat this for a new read!
