Something evil is lurking. I can't wait to see where this goes.
Well that looks promising !
Nice artwork, good introduction to the universe but not enough for me. I need to know more, I'm intrigued though.
Great art. Lively dialogue, quite violent and a bit of sexual content. Both playfully done. Quite enjoyed it. I bought as a single issue but will prob wait for the first trade to read more.
Slow start but wanting moreAdult horror, love the art work. Don't see why it getting low review, it's the first issue in a new series.
There were parts I really liked and stuff I really didn't enjoy. I liked the whole idea of praying to the devil to protect you from monsters, and the idea of who do you turn to when there are larger powers at work you don't understand. I get so much more invested in a story if it is character driven and this was too early to understand who anyone was or their motives so it made me feel confused and bored. There was also something quite off putting about how much swearing there was; it never felt...
(Numbered score at bottom) I’ve been waiting to get this book for a very long time and I’m finally pleased to have purchased it. I’m a huge fan of Mirka’s work particularly her art and that once again shines through in her work. It is absolutely gorgeous and the colors she picked are simply stunning. While this book has an interesting plot and it is only in its first issue at times the book felt like it jumped a bit all over the place. It also introduced way too many characters for one issue. Ro...
Spooky and Cool intro!Indeed it is weird entry for this comic(s) full of mystery yet to know and solve. Start liking the intense gore and some nudity plus sex in action it is double plus. I’m loving it so far even more the art style even the character design with their coloring is of my liking. I wonder where the story while go I have high hopes for the the Author or Creator to make an amazing scary and gory story with no holding back. Be bold, Be yourself!
First off, the artwork is just stunning! The images are consistently high quality throughout the entire book and add more to the story at times than the dialogue. Secondly, the hook is great. I guess I can understand how many seem to find the plot wanting, but I found the introduction of the key characters to flow naturally and the (assumed) foreshadowing to be skillfully done for a series that is set to be 6 issues long. Can’t wait until I get my hands on the next issue!
The story is really intriguing and the art is beautiful!
While the writing is a bit muddled, Andolfo's art is beautiful.
"MERCY #1, out this Wednesday from Image Comics, is a disturbing beginning to a series worth keeping an eye on. The village of Woodsburgh is about to be irreparably altered – and the readers along with it.Mercy is a brand new series springing from the mind of Mirka Andolfo. You probably recognize that name – they’re the author and artist behind Unnatural, another unique read. A fact that is already proving true for this latest run.Set in a remote mining village, this is a story full of murders,
Hyped for this. I love her art style.After reading:Solid 3Good start, gorgeous art.
4.3/5Mercy #1 is a Victorian gothic horror masterpiece. Andolfo's writing flows so seamlessly and her art is deeply sensual, imbued with blues, browns, and reds that accentuate light and shadow to emphasize facial expressions, bodily movement, and even scenery. This story may take place in the buttoned-up Victorian era, but Andolfo doesn't shy away from sex, nor its implications. And she also leans into the difficult subject matter. This debut issue depicts several potentially upsetting moments,...
Love the art! And the story is very intriguing
If you're a fan of shows like Penny Dreadful, this is a must read. The turn of the century setting and the tragic story lines are dead on target. One thing that was off was that she gave titles of Lord and Lady to the men and women. Even the housekeeper was called Lady Leila. At first I thought they were all transplants from England, but the housekeeper was American. The author is Italian so maybe the translation is to blame. Not enough to keep me from enjoying the book. Just a little jarring. I...
