This item is Brand New, making it an essential pickup for fans of lyrical storytelling, gorgeous art, and stories that challenge the boundaries of life and death.

A Haunting Epic of Life and Death

• The Story: Set years after the events of the first volume, the story shifts from the Old West to the trenches of World War I. Ginny, the daughter of Death, is called upon to reap a soul that refuses to leave, leading to a journey through the "Great Bear"—a landscape of memory, grief, and ancient power.

• Masterful Visuals: Emma Ríos’ art is nothing short of legendary, utilizing a delicate yet powerful linework that captures the fluid, dreamlike nature of the narrative. The colors by Jordie Bellaire add a rich, atmospheric depth to every page.

• Lyrical Narrative: DeConnick’s writing is poetic and profound, exploring complex themes of legacy, the inevitability of change, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.

• Genre-Bending: Pretty Deadly defies easy categorization, weaving elements of folklore, horror, and historical fiction into a tapestry that feels both ancient and entirely new.
