"Grand and majestic storytelling."
-Warren Ellis (Gun Machine, Red) KELLY SUE DeCONNICK (CAPTAIN MARVEL, BITCH PLANET) and EMMA RÍOS (ISLAND, MIRROR) present the follow up to the Eisner-nominated, New York Times best-selling PRETTY DEADLY VOL. 1: THE SHRIKE. Sarah Fields is dying and her children strike a bargain with the Immortals: give them one month more, until the moon is full again, to find their little brother so that he may see his mother one last time. But the boy is far, far away, in the trenches of France, stalked by the Reapers of Vengeance and Cruelty. As beautifully lush as it is unflinchingly savage, THE BEAR collects Issue 6-10.Author Biography
Kelly Sue DeConnick is best known for surprise hits like Carol Danvers' rebranding as Captain Marvel and the Eisner-nominated mythological western, PRETTY DEADLY; the latter was co-created with artist Emma Ríos. The sci-fi kidney-punch called BITCH PLANET, co-created with Valentine De Landro, launched to rave reviews in December 2014 and has since been nominated for an Eisner. She currently writes Aquaman for DC as well as develops television for Legendary TV with her husband and partner, Matt Fraction, as Milkfed Criminal Masterminds.
Emma is a cartoonist based in Spain. She shifted her focus to a mix of both architecture and work with small press publishers until working on comics full-time in 2007. Having collaborated with publishers like Marvel and DC, she was able to commit to working on her own creator-owned comics again since 2013, thanks to Image Comics, where she co-edited ISLAND and created I.D., MIRROR in two parts: THE MOUNTAIN and THE NEST with Malay cartoonist Hwei Lim, and where she currently co-creates the critically acclaimed PRETTY DEADLY with Kelly Sue DeConnick. The latter earned Ríos several Eisner Award nominations and a win for Best Cover Artist in 2020.
