This clearly doesn't please Laveau, who seems to abandon Mambo in her time of need to leave her to her own devices; something which she might soon regret.

A Mash-up of cultures that balances the punk aesthetics with voodoo mysticism surprisingly well. It's refreshing to read a first issue that hits the ground running so well.

But credit where it's due " Gorham and Villarrubia really elevate this issue with a stylishness that befits this iconoclastic antiheroine. It's unclear if Punk Mambo will stick the landing in future installments, but the artwork is strong enough to justify a second look. Read Full Review
