Angus reviews Kelly Sue DeConnick's and Emma Rios' Pretty Deadly Volume 1 in celebration of Deathface Ginny, our comic book character of the month for Image Comics Month.  Please drop us a message on the anchor app or send us an mp3 or email to [email protected].

May is Image Comics Month and our comic book character in celebration is Deathface Ginny of Pretty Deadly.

https://www.comixology.com/Pretty-Deadly-Vol-1/digital-comic/95904

KELLY SUE DeCONNICK (Avengers Assemble, Captain Marvel) and EMMA RÍOS (Dr. Strange, Osborn) present the collected opening arc of their surprise-hit series that marries the magical realism of Sandman with the western brutality of Preacher. Death's daughter rides the wind on a horse made of smoke and her face bears the skull marks of her father. Her origin story is a tale of retribution as beautifully lush as it is unflinchingly savage.
