"Grand and majestic storytelling."-Warren Ellis (Gun Machine, Red) KELLY SUE DeCONNICK (CAPTAIN MARVEL, BITCH PLANET) and EMMA ROS (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.
