Pretty Deadly, Vol. 2: The Bear by Emma Ríos, Kelly Sue DeConnick
5.0
“We are all shaped by what we do.”
The premise is more staightforward this time: Sarah is dying and her children plead with Death to let her live until next full moon, so that her son might come back from the war to say his goodbyes. In the meantime in the battlefield Ginny and Big Alice (my fave!) are trying to find a way to stop all this madness.
The art was even more beautiful in this one (I didn't know that was a possibility) and the story far less confusing and more heartbreaking, as it deals with war and loss. We come to revisit some old characters and meet some new ones, while some character backstories and/or purposes were sort of explained (gasp!). The ending was beautiful and bittersweet and I can't wait for the next installment.
Highly recommended.
