Image Comics Announces Kelly Sue DeConnick And Emma Rios’ Pretty Deadly

Announced at Image Comics panel at San Diego, Kelly Sue DeConnick and Emma Rios‘ Western assassin series, Pretty Deadly. Where women aren’t able to own things and considered chattel, the scars on her face allow her special circumstances to win things and run a business…

Now I’m wondering if Margaret Atwood was at this panel ^_^

Kelly Sue DeConnick and Emma Rios previously collaborated on Osborn: Evil Incarcerated, and I am thrilled to see them join up again on a creator-owned book.  This is going on my pull list the minute it’s solicited.

ETA: CBR has more:

“It’s our attempt to revive the spirit of Sergio Leone,” she said. “It is a Western assassin competing for a prize she does not necessarily want.” She said the book is about “the beauty and what we embrace about it, and the destruction,” before adding, “How pretentious does that sound?”
