MIRKA ANDOLFO'S MERCY #1
Writer: Mirka Andolfo
Artist: Mirka Andolfo
Publisher: Image Comics
Release Date: March 4, 2020
Cover Price: $3.99
Score: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
Mirka Andolfo's 'Mercy' is a great dark and engrossing Victorian thriller that oozes style and suspense. The issue jumps right into some supernatural elements that aren't explained but an instant attention-grabber. The unfolding story introduces some intriguing characters, women with mysterious personas that will undoubtedly be revealed in time. Andolfo weaves a stylish gothic drama that's elegantly designed but also surprisingly graphic and sexy at times. The comparisons to The Alienist, Crimson Peak, and Penny Dreadful are right on. This is in the same category of wonderfully inventive, dramatic, and addictive gothic horror stories that are hard to resist. 'Mercy' is an unnerving but intoxicating gothic thriller that sizzles with suspense and sparkles with style.
