2.0
*contains some spoilers*
What initially drew me to this comic was the beautiful cover art and the fact that this story was about a Latina superhero. I however felt rather indifferent whilst reading it. Yes, the illustrations of La Fantomah throughout were beautiful, however the rest of the art seemed to look rather rushed. I believe a story however can make up for a whole lot (such as Attack on Titan in its beginning stages), but unfortunately that wasn't the case here. The story had a lot of potential, but it felt extremely rushed, with the comic making a lot of weird jumps. I'm left with questions, like how La Fantomah didn't die from all those gun shot wounds and the sword through her chest, how de la Cruz was an immortal man, but died instantly without children around him. Either way, I hope the second volume will takes its time!
A sincere thank you to NetGally and Diamond Book Distributors for this copy.
