Lady Death has always been the BAD GIRL. But once upon a time, she was absolutely EVIL.
Obsessed with annihilation, the diva of death sought to snuff out the entire human race and turn the earth into an endless graveyard. Thankfully, Lady Death changed her wicked ways to become a champion of the downtrodden and a scourge of demon-kind throughout Hell.
For generations, the evil seething within the witch's soul lied dormant...forgotten...until now!
The roguish warlock HELLSLINGER hopes he'll never find out. Along with a cursed demon hunter and an avenging vigilante known as LA MUERTA, Hellslinger seeks to return Lady Death to her former, anti-heroic self. But how can three stand against the most dangerous woman in all of Hell - a woman bent on ushering in a new age of death?
Lady Death: Malevolent Decimation Story: Brian Pulido, Mike MacLean Interiors: Diego Bernard, Ceci de la Cruz Cover: Paolo Pantalena, Arif Prianto Hardcover, Kickstarter Hardcover, 48 pages Published by Coffin Comics 5/2020
This is yet another comic book character that I collected back in the 90s. Unless you special ordered or had a cool comic book shop this title was hard to track down but then the comic book world erupted and everything was available around 2000 it became easier to find.
Brian Pulido has created an unlikely hero who at times seems to want to destroy humanity and other times saving humanity. I think that's what appeals to me in that you just never really know.
Originally Lady Death was a hallucination, but now she is a full fledged goddess from hell. Since 2015 Brian Pulido has taken complete control over his character and through Kickstarter has been publishing a new title every few months.
This time around we start out in New Orleans where Lady Death seeks out a voodoo queen to track down a kid who is possessed by a demon that can help her achieve full Malevolent Decimation. Some of the "good guys" know what the kid is capable of and try to prevent her from raising the dead.
In this book Brian Pulido does a little crossover from one of his other popular titles, La Muerta. La Muerta along with Lady Death's son seek to prevent Lady Death from reaching her goal.
This book contains yet another great story in the re-birth of Lady Death. The artwork is beyond beautiful and makes the book worth looking over several times just to see it all.
I picked up 2 singles solely on the strength of the beautiful high quality art work.
This issue and Hellraiders #1....
The numbering system is confusing. The story was interesting enough that I visit their site, https://coffincomicsshop.com/ and ordered vol 1 and 2 trades of the series to get a more complete story!
