Kelly Sue DeConnick (Avengers Assemble, Captain Marvel) and
Emma Rios (Dr. Strange, Osborn) present the collected opening arc
of their surprise-hit series that marries the magical realism of Sandman
with the western brutality of Preacher. Death's daughter rides the wind
on a horse made of smoke and her face bears the skull marks of her father. Her
origin story is a tale of retribution as beautifully lush as it is unflinchingly
savage.


"It's a perfect match for the gorgeous, dizzying artwork in a sumptuous
palette-overlaid panels add intricate choreography to fight scenes, and
detailed, whirling splash pages beg for long-lingering looks. Couple that, along
with a handful of Eisner nominations, with a multicultural cast of
tough-as-nails women who all fight for their own honor, and this is a series to
watch out for." - Booklist



"It's ambitious and challenging (two qualities that are not often valued,
but that probably should be), under a facade of violence and sacrifice.
Rio's art is lush and detailed, and is more than capable of keeping up with the
far-reaching story." - PW
