Lady Mechanika Volume 6: Sangre by M. M. Chen, Joe Benitez
5.0
Not a fan of the cover even though that's what got me attracted to it in the first place. I think the illustrations inside were way better, I loved them, especially the background graphics and the attention to details, the colour palette is just amazing. I really liked how the two stories, even though told together, were easily separable because of the majorly different illustrations and panel designs.
Even though it's vol 6 of the Lady Mechanica series (such a cheesy title, lol!), it's a perfect standalone too, except for the teaser at the end for the next volume, I'll be looking forward to it for sure. The story itself was great too, I really liked how it shows a different - sad, vulnerable, and lovable - side to the creatures, otherwise deemed full of viciousness. This story is more than just about blood, vampires, gods, and mythical creatures. I think there's was a basic lesson there too, that there's always a reason, circumstances, and hard choices that make people turn to the "dark side".
All in all, I loved it. Recommended.
