Do I understand everything that just happened? No. Did I enjoy the journey regardless? Hell, yeah.Mercy is a deeply unsettling, captivating historical horror/SFF crossover full of monsters, both human and otherwise. Equal parts eerie, tragic, and romantic, this was a lovely story with artwork that is, in my opinion, mostly unmatched in the world of graphic novels. I'm willing to admit I was a bit lost at points, especially with how detailed the art in some of the action scenes gets (maybe it's a...
Oh my gosh... this was fucking amazing!What’s it about?That’s really hard to describe. I actually tried describing that to someone and they were kinda confused so I’m just skipping that.Why it gets 5-stars:The story. It is really cool and unique. I can’t say very much but it grabbed me right away!The artwork is pretty awesome! It sets the tone, illustrates everything very well and is just amazing looking in general.The characters are well written and interesting. I sometimes complain that as muc...
I'm sorry to say that I don't quite understand all the hype around this comic. The art is beautiful and there are some interesting elements, but the story felt unfinished. There's supposed to be this amazing character-growth story in this comic, but it just skipped over all the growth part and went from A to Z within a page. And while there were some horror-elements, I didn't feel the horror of it. It was just a lot of gore, it seemed to me. The creatures were interesting to begin with, but cons...
Mirka Andolfo's Mercy: The Fair Lady, the Frost, and the Fiend is a mess.First let me say that the artwork here is stunning. The best thing about this graphic novel, by far, is the art. I love the color palette, which is saturated with blue, black, purple, and red. It really compliments the cold characters and chilly atmosphere. I also love how beautiful all the characters are. I mean, Andolfo even manages to make the monsters and the gruesome parts of this graphic novel beautiful. But beautiful...
Man, this is one of those weird comics that almost hits the mark, and then just doesn't.The art and coloring are just lovely. But.Some of the scenes when the creatures appeared were a bit too confusing and hard to visually understand. I'd go back, stare at a panel for a bit, scratch my head, move to the next panel, stop, go back to the previous panel...Wash, rinse, repeat.However, considering the art was the main reason I was attracted to this title, it's a somewhat minor complaint. My biggest c...
Man this book was so frustrating. Gorgeously drawn and the Rory character was so precious. However, the book is written is such an incompressible fashion it’s hard to follow. Everything was so cryptic I was like what the hell is going on???? By the time I got past the halfway mark, I was just blindly reading to say I finished it. No clue what the hell just happened. I would say I would try and read this again later with fresh eyes to see if I “get it” then, but I know I won’t.
Gory and yet not really that creepy in terms of other horror tropes. It was an intriguing concept with gorgeous artwork, but in terms of the characters and plot, it became rather convoluted and rushed.
I was immediately drawn in because of the gorgeous cover and the art style inside. It reminded me of Monstress where even gory and disgusting scenes look beautiful. I couldn't get enough of the gothic creepy atmosphere and wouldn't mind having some art framed on my walls, it's that gorgeous. The plot was okay and again reminded me of Monstress with similar looking monsters living in human bodies.5 stars for the art and 3 stars for the story, hence the overall 4 star rating.
this comic was absolutely insane. the art was so incredible and really brought the story to life. the plot and characters just grabbed me by the heart. 5/5
Really so good. It was gorgeous and had an intricate plot that really kept me reading. I am excited to hear there will be a “sequel” of sorts.
That was-that was not what I expected.If you have a big pet peeve of unnecessary gore, this may not be for you, but I didn't mind it! The art was so gorgeous and the characters were captivating. The plot was confusing at times and that would be the biggest critique from me, but I think I got most of it. The whole idea and worldbuilding is just wonderful. I couldn't get enough of this book.-a
New favourite! I'm excited to pick up more work by Mirka Andolfo.
While reading chapter one I was unsure what to think of this but I ended up really enjoying it. The mystery element was my favourite part - it felt overwhelming at times but that just proved how detailed and rich it was. And although we only got to spend a brief amount of time with the characters, they all felt complex and realistic. The tone was intriguing and dark and the art a pleasure to explore. Definitely keeping an eye out for more from Andolfo!
