What a pleasant surprise, dear.
Twilight Lady is the best urban fantasy comic book I have read for a long time. If you like Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, you probably like this. In my opinion, Gaiman has not written anything this good for ages.
Blake Chen has created an original universe that is full of suspense, sense of wonder, and surprises. The continuing story is simply brilliant. It unfolds in the right pace and is full of twists. It is very difficult to predict what is going to happen next. The characters are believable and likeable. Each have their goals and justifications for their actions, so it is not simply good vs. evil. Art may first seem somewhat stiff, but it gets better and also helps to create a creepy atmosphere. There is also humor which is sometimes subtle, sometimes macabre, and sometimes something that only the reader sees.
Just try Twilight Lady. You will be sucked into another world. This is the first volume and the beginning of a great journey.
