The art style is just not my cup of tea.

This is a peculiar and fascinating reimagining of Frankenstein, set in colonial Mexico.

There’s this aesthetic and ideological blend of steampunk and indigenous cultures that creates a really rich, and expansive world. I appreciate the attention to conveying different life ways and perspectives.

The art is also quite aesthetic and compelling. I’ve never quite seen an article style like this one. It’s deceivingly simple at first glance but proves some interesting depth to the story.

I’m looking forward to reading more!

I read the version in Spanish and it could be better. Illustrations are amazing

This graphic novel is drawn in a very neat and unique style, though the facial expression are often odd given their contexts and what the characters are saying. I like the mythology that's being drawn upon, but the story itself is rushed and not well established, likewise with some of the relationships. If given the chance, I'd read the second volume, but I'm not going to actively seek it out.

It should have had a complete arc, but I'll definitely be waiting for the next volume so that means it's solid work, y'know?
