Pretty Deadly #3

A figure in a red coat huddles on a rocky ledge while a massive dark-winged bird looms overhead — it's a striking image that captures the mythic, melancholy atmosphere Pretty Deadly does so well. Emma Ríos brings a breathtaking delicacy to the composition, balancing the bird's raw, sweeping wingspan against the vulnerability of the crouched figure below. With Kelly Sue DeConnick, Jordie Bellaire, and Clayton Cowles rounding out the creative team, this 2013 Image series continues to feel like nothing else on the shelves.
