loved the illustrations and many of the ideas but found the storyline hard to follow perhaps because this is not the first book in the series

The art in this book is beautiful, but its storytelling is incoherent. It doesn't help that the plot jumps all over the timeline so you're never sure where in the story something is actually happening.

the world and the art are absolutely STUNNING… I just had a hard time following the storyline and there were a lot of time jumps that didn’t seem to be explained well enough

I did fully buy this not realizing it was the second volume (and not having read the first) so keep that in mind too…

Only made it to issue #9, and I just give up. The plotting and characterization are everywhere. The art is just lovely though.

I could not finish this book. I thought story was incoherent in vol 1... well, well, well.... this is even worse. I gave up after two issues. I just could not.

great conclusion that clears up a LOT of confusion with the last book, but can still be pretty difficult to follow at times, specifically on the watercolor pages.

Cuando un lector español de cómic bucea entre los títulos independientes más importantes y aclamados de los últimos años, no dudo de que uno de ellos sea Mirror. No solo por sus preciosas portadas, si no por encontrar un nombre como el de la gallega Emma Ríos encabezando la portada junto a una desconocida Hwei Lim. Allá por 2016 se publicada el primer número de Mirror, una serie de Image Comics compilada actualmente en dos volúmenes cerrados que en España pueden leerse gracias a la excelente editorial Astiberri.

Mirror nació como una historia destinada a formar parte de 8House, una colección de historias formada por varias miniseries de temática fantástica y ciencia ficción, que planteaba arcos autoconclusivos retroalimentados entre sí. Sin embargo, la idea original de Emma Ríos y Hwei Lim llamó la atención de Image, proponiendo su publicación como serie independiente. Nacen así estos 10 números de Mirror que podemos leer actualmente, divididos en dos arcos argumentales titulados El reflejo de la montaña y El nido, que nos transportan hasta la Sincronía, un sistema planetario repleto de magia, seres divinos y alquimia.
