This week I read Pretty Deadly by Kelly Sue Deconnick. It was a really interesting story. I also really enjoyed the art and line work, since i prefer detailed art when it comes to comics. The style of the characters is also very interesting to look at as the comic seems to take an influence from westerns and horror. It is a really cool and unique combination. The story follows the daughter of death in a tale about retribution. She rides on a horse made of smoke and has the marks from her father. There are multiple issues but I have only read the first one.
I think this comic says a lot about women in the comic industry as it is pretty popular and easy to access, allowing it to reach many people. It is nice to see something that is well-made by a talented woman be in circulation, not as much as traditional superhero comics but it's still nice to see. There seems to be a pretty big community of people who enjoy reading this comic and enjoy the work of the author/illustrator.
