Wednesday's New Thing: Pretty Deadly and Velvet, A Double Feature Comic Show


Going on two years now, Image has absolutely been killing it, releasing books that are consistently among the best mainstream comics going. This streak seems likely to continue with the releases of the Western Pretty Deadly (written by Kelly Sue DeConnick and drawn by Emma Rios) and the espionage thriller Velvet (put together by long time Long and Shortbox of It! favorite team Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting). Without having read either, I will with some confidence put them in the company of Young Avengers and Satellite Sam as books to follow out of 2013.
