A review by octavia_cade
Pretty Deadly #9 by Emma Ríos, Kelly Sue DeConnick

dark sad fast-paced

5.0

I can't say enough about the artwork in these last few issues. Emma Ríos has done good work in the earliest Pretty Deadly comics, but the trench warfare sections are far beyond the rest. Far beyond. They're so good that I don't even really care about the story anymore, I'm too riveted to the pictures. There are some of them, particularly the ones involving Alice, that I would happily hang on my wall so that I could stare at them every day. And I genuinely find the story compelling, so when I say that I've stopped caring about it in comparison to the art, it should give an indication of just how spectacular that art is.
