Legenderry: A Steampunk Adventure: A Penny Dreadful Review
Trouble
stumbles into the Scarlet Club in the person of a young woman pursued by
several burly clones of unknown origin. The owner of this club, a Steampunk
version of Vampirella, takes exception to the invasion. Accompanied by Britt
Reid, who happens to be the Green Hornet, she sets out to unravel the mysteries
surrounding the young woman. Legenderry,
a new title from Dynamite, is dynamite!
The story
is exciting and entrancing. I would expect nothing less from writer Bill
Willingham. A seasoned storyteller, he keeps the reader guessing and turning
the pages. Each panel is a surprise leading deeper into the strange mystery
surrounding the young woman and her disappeared sister Sonja. I love it. The
balance between exposition and action, the characterizations, the referential
twists and details – every aspect of this story is superb. Sergio Davila’s art
is breathtaking. Incredible detail and vivid action pop off the page from
unexpected angles. He is truly a master of his genre.
I give this
comic four and a half gears out of five. It’s solid, brilliant, and exactly
what one would expect from an all-star cast of writers and artists. It’s
gorgeous and fun to read, an absolute must for any Steampunk fan of sequential
art.
