About the series
A darkly comedic take on the superhero genre, Pretty Violent (2019–2020) follows a young woman who, after inheriting a mysterious mask, discovers that her new powers come with a brutally violent—and very messy—side effect. Published by Image Comics, the series ran for 11 issues and is most closely associated with artist Derek Hunter, whose expressive, cartoonish style grounds the over-the-top gore in a surprisingly heartfelt story. It matters as a fresh, unapologetically weird addition to the indie superhero landscape, blending slapstick violence with genuine character growth.
