Welcome to Litsy!

I was super busy yesterday and forgot to post

Finally starting this in the Groundswell cafe enjoying the company or my best friend. Been sketching a bit too. #comics #sketchbook

I enjoyed volume 1 a lot more.

My 4th read for #24in48

If volume 1 was like a spaghetti western mixed with manga, volume 2 was that and World War I. The story is not exactly easy to follow, but the art, and the dual realities, and the world building are all amazing. The bigger issues of the cycle of life and death, who we are, and who others are to us are all woven into the story, and I was surprised by how touching I found it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Today's #riotgram #riotgrams Challenge Day 26 is #mostbadassheroine. I would just be another voice in the choir singing the praises of Princess/General Leia Organa, Katniss, and Hermione, so I'm going to tell y'all instead that this is a good series with some badass women in it.

I am consistently mesmerized by Rios's mind blowing art, DeConnick's utterly compelling storytelling, and Belaire's jaw-dropping colors. I LOVE this comic.

A strong return, one that expands the mythos wonderfully while creating a profoundly engaging allegory on war, fear, & family. #comics

Another for my #womenincomics challenge. I loved this volume so much more than the first one! The flow felt much better to me and the mythology of this series came alive in my head. The artwork is unique and really compliments everything. I found this moving and am so glad I gave the second volume a go after not being blown away by the first one.

"...is the Reaper of War."

Finally getting to read volume 2

God I love this series. This time the story is set in WWI. I love the layered, dark, folkloric style to DeConnick's writing and Emma Ríos' rich illustrations match it perfectly.

Now to just sit around and wait for volume 3.

Surely if I consume enough soup and read enough comics this sneaky never ending cold will move on.

Okay I know that's not how this works but a girl can dream. 🤧📕🍲

Me, fireball with apple cider, and this book. Happening now.

Pretty Deadly vol 2

I'm in between a Pick and a So-So on this. By the end of it, I do want to read more about the story, so that's a good thing. However, I end up having to read this twice to understand what's happening. The story is a bit difficult to follow and needs to flow better.

Instead of the Wild West we have WW1 in this volume. Art is just as amazing and story just as engrossing. This series just keeps getting better. Looking forward to more!

Current situation. ❤️

Pretty Deadly Volume 2 transplants its Western-genre cast into the middle of World War I for some epic reaper showdowns. The series continues to innovate in bewilderingly beautiful ways between its dream-like page layouts, lyrical symmetry, and lush, otherworldly imagery that's some of the most original storytelling I've seen in mainstream comics.

This book was just as beautifully drawn and compelling as the first.

I love the artwork and the story is layered and complex. Definitely a good candidate for a re-read.
