END OF STORY ARC
The first story arc of MIRKA ANDOLFO's Gothic tale comes to an end. Lady Hellaine finds a love interest...or is this just a part of her machinations? Who are the ruthless "hunters," and what are they tracking? And what's their relationship with whatever lies in the abandoned mines?
Andolfo's art is fantastic. The horror elements are disturbingly appealing as well as the characters themselves. Each panel is filled with beautiful details and capture the eye. Read Full Review
The horror genre is overfilled like a community swimming pool, and at times makes for a daunting task trying to look for a good horror story that adds refreshment and brings something new or at least a new way of telling a familiar story. This is where Mirka Andolfo shines like a thousand suns. Her ability to surround Lady Hellaine with intrigue, mystery, and a splash of psychological horror makes Mercy a must-read! Read Full Review
I love Andolfo's works so I'm really hopeful it has a strong group of fans behind it and I'll be in the second wave when the collected editions can deliver something that will work better for my reading needs. It's such a gorgeous book it really deserves a big audience for it. Read Full Review
The pieces are slowly coming together to reveal the picture and the reader is beginning to get an idea of what’s going on in Mercy. Mirka Andolfo’s storytelling techniques feel fresh and exciting, and it’ll be interesting to see how this story develops and what the future holds for it. The art is extraordinary and a real strength of the comic. Read Full Review

Overall, I still quite enjoy this series, but I want to see more from it. The story feels like it's mirroring Lady Hellaine itself. A mask of refinement barely holding back the horrors underneath. With three issues left Mercy #3 threatens to leave much unsaid or, worse, said all at once instead of at an even pace. I still look forward to the next issue, and am too invested in the central mystery to move on. I just hope that the next issue takes a little more time to really let loose, because we can all see that Hellaine is barely keeping it together. Read Full Review
