Doctor Mirage by Magdalene Visaggio
5.0
Disclaimer: I received a free ecopy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
There is something about Doctor Mirage that I really enjoy. She is a play on the TV psychic stereotype that claim they can speak with the dead, but Mirage can actually do it. This story picks up at a point where she has lost the ability to see/speak with the dead and she is trying to reclaim that power, so that she can reconnect with her husband who passed away a few years ago. A young woman seeks out Mirage and together the two of them go on a journey to restore Mirage's abilities.
At top of the list of things I enjoyed about this book is the art. The coloring in particular is great. I do enjoy the layout of some of the pages and the way the artist captures Mirage and the other characters. The colors do well at intensifying the story and highlighting some of the weirder aspects of what is happening. The writer seems to nail Mirage's personality. And the conflict fits the character perfectly. I would put this among the top books that Valiant has put out in the last year or two.
