The Hummingbird

If you’ve not read Pretty Deadly, I highly recommend it. Written by Kelly Sue DeConnick, it’s a horror western wrapped up in mythology and questions of death, with beautiful art by Emma Ríos.

The story is narrated (after a fashion) by a butterfly and an undead rabbit – not dissimilar to the somewhat hyperactive robot narrators of Jodorowsky’s The Metabarons – with each issue beginning with a related story, aside, or lesson being told between the two non-human characters.

The below comes from Volume One, Issue Five (click to enlarge):
