Pretty Deadly #7 by Emma Ríos, Kelly Sue DeConnick

dark sad fast-paced

5.0

I remember when I first read this series, this comic marked the point where I stopped liking it a lot and started loving it. The art here is spectacular, as the lurid green of chlorine gas seeps over the trenches, overwhelming the muted colours that the rest of the panels are in. The only relief is the equally bright red representing the reaper of war, but in its way that's worse. The green and the red together say more than the text or the rest of the imagery. It's fantastic, and all credit to Emma Ríos here, because she's done an outstanding job.
