2 stars - It was ok

Lady Baltimore continues her husband's legacy of killing monsters. She is actively hunting witches who are working with the Nazi’s.  While I enjoyed aspects of this story, I found myself mostly bored and confused by it. There was no worldbuilding or character building in this which really hindered my enjoyment of it. I did read the Baltimore series so I roughly knew about Sophia and Rigo but they were mostly background characters in that series. The lack of character development just meant that I didn’t really connect with Sophie and her story. Also, while I loved that Sophie and Imogen were a couple, they had no chemistry or romance that made it really believable. 

Overall, I was a bit disappointed in this graphic novel. I was very excited to read this one but just found myself bored by the simple story of hey you think you got me but I am actually more powerful just being constantly repeated. I also wasn’t a huge fan of the art and color palette for this one.
