comic reviews Image Image Comics review reviews The Deadliest Bouquet
Written by Angela Rairden Every time I visit my local comic bookstore, I watch out for new comic series that catch my eye. In this case, it was the cover art (by Carola Borelli) for The Deadliest Bouquet #1 that first really caught my attention. This is often the case for me when I’m browsing the new release section at my LCS.

The artwork alone hinted that there...
