Chapter 10 of the Lady Death Universe opens just after the tragic events of "Scorched Earth," an extinction level disaster brought on by The Trinity.  At this point the world wonders whether Lady Death is a hero or a threat to humankind.  Even The Sworn, a group of supernatural anti-heroes begin to wonder.  It doesn't help that she is seeking some dark power and leaves bodies in her path to find that power.

Lady Death Takes her battle against The Trinity to Phoenix (which just happens to be author, Brian Pulido's, hometown)  The story is all part of a huge story arc to be continued in the next installment, "Malevolent Decimation," which I should be receiving in my mailbox sometime this month.  

Pulido knows how to tell a story and his group of anti-heroes are a great assortment to have as a foundation for a superhero/supernatural comic.  The artwork comes alive with action and the details in the pages keep you looking over and over through the book to catch all subtleties.

I will say that Lady Death comes out a changed person and while I'm not sure where Brian Pulido is taking his group, The Sworn, and Lady Death,  I do know I will definitely stay in line for the next issue and read on.

This issue expands the Lady Death Universe, and we meet great characters along the way. Lady Death and her allies square off against Halo and The Trinity with an all-out battle that threatens Earth. The writing is finding its ground, and the art game is really elevated!

Well written and beautifully illustrated arc in the Lady Death saga wherein she takes her battle against evil to Phoenix. Highly recommended.
